Description
When Taurus rolled out the GX4, it turned a lot of heads in the micro-compact world, enough to earn Best New Handgun honors from the NASGW back when it launched. This version dresses things up a bit with a Midnight Bronze Cerakote slide over a black frame, giving you a carry gun that looks as good as it runs. Underneath the finish is the same formula that made the GX4 a hit: 11+1 rounds of 9mm in a package barely an inch wide and just over six inches long, weighing in at 18.5 ounces.
Why the GX4 Carries So Well
Concealed carry comes down to two things, comfort and confidence, and the GX4 delivers both. The slim reinforced frame keeps printing to a minimum even under lighter clothing, while the textured grip and recoil management pad give you real purchase on a small gun. The flat-face serrated trigger is a genuine step up from what you usually find at this size, breaking cleaner than most micro nines and helping you stay accurate during quick follow-up shots. Up top you get a white dot front sight paired with a serrated, drift-adjustable rear, plus a visual loaded chamber indicator so you can check status at a glance.
Taurus GX4 Details That Matter Day to Day
Taurus put thought into the small stuff here. The takedown pin makes field stripping quick without pulling the trigger, the mag release is reversible for lefties, and cutouts in the grip help you strip a stubborn magazine if you ever need to. The stainless steel barrel wears a satin black DLC coating for corrosion resistance, and the whole pistol is backed by Taurus's limited lifetime warranty.
Two Mags and Ready to Go
You get two 11-round magazines in the box, so you can carry one and keep a spare loaded without an extra purchase. For anyone shopping their first carry pistol or adding a lighter option to the rotation, the GX4 in black and bronze is a hard package to argue with.

Frequently Asked Questions
How concealable is the Taurus GX4 for everyday carry?
Very. The frame measures about an inch wide, overall length is just 6.05 inches, and it weighs 18.5 ounces unloaded. That slim profile keeps printing minimal even under a t-shirt, which is exactly what this pistol was built for.
Does the GX4 come with two magazines?
Yes, this model ships with two 11-round magazines in the box. That gives you a carry mag and a spare right out of the gate, which is a nice touch at this price point.
Can I mount a red dot on this version of the GX4?
No, this particular model has a standard slide without an optic cut. If a red dot is a must-have, Taurus offers the GX4 T.O.R.O. variant with a factory optic-ready slide. This one runs the white dot front sight and drift-adjustable serrated rear, which work well for defensive distances.
What is the difference between the black/bronze GX4 and the standard model?
Mechanically they are identical. This version wears a Midnight Bronze Cerakote slide over the black frame instead of the all-black gas nitride finish. Cerakote adds solid corrosion and wear resistance, so you get some extra style without giving anything up.
