Taurus GX4XL T.O.R.O. 9mm Micro-Compact Pistol 3.7" 11+1/13+1

The Taurus GX4XL T.O.R.O. delivers enhanced capacity and optics-ready versatility in a micro-compact platform engineered for concealed carry and duty applications. This striker-fired pistol bridges the gap between subcompact portability and full-size performance with its extended grip and 3.7-inch barrel configuration.

What Makes This Different

The T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option) system sets this model apart with its pre-cut slide accepting multiple red dot footprints without adapter plates. The GX4XL's extended frame accommodates both 11-round flush magazines and 13-round extended magazines, providing 18% more capacity than standard micro-compacts. Gas nitride treatment on the alloy steel slide delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing or basic coatings.

Key Features

• Optics-ready slide cut compatible with Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, and Sig Romeo Zero footprints
• 3.70-inch DLC-coated steel barrel with enhanced wear resistance and reduced friction
• Dual magazine capacity: 11-round flush-fit and 13-round extended magazines included
• Memory pads and aggressive slide serrations for positive manipulation under stress
• Striker Safety System with trigger safety, firing pin block, and drop safety mechanisms
• Reversible magazine release and ambidextrous slide stop for left-hand shooters
• Picatinny accessory rail for tactical lights and laser attachments

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 15 yards with quality ammunition, while the extended sight radius improves target acquisition over shorter-barreled alternatives. The gas nitride finish withstands 1,000+ round counts without significant wear, maintaining reliable cycling through various environmental conditions. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in both uniformed patrol and plainclothes applications.
