Description
The GX4 was the pistol that put Taurus back on a lot of radars, and for good reason. It took home NASGW's Best New Handgun and Best New Overall Product awards when it launched, and it earned that recognition by cramming 11+1 rounds of 9mm into a frame that measures about an inch wide and weighs just 18.5 ounces empty. This version dresses the polymer frame in Mil-Spec Green under a matte black slide, so you get some character without giving up the low-key profile a carry gun needs.
Why the GX4 Punches Above Its Size
Micro nines used to mean stiff triggers and snappy recoil, but Taurus put real thought into this one. The flat-face serrated trigger breaks clean with a short reset, and the grip texture plus the recoil management pad at the backstrap help keep the muzzle settled during quick strings. The 3.06 inch barrel keeps the overall length right around six inches, and the whole package wears a no-snag profile that clears cover garments without hanging up. Sights are a white-dot front with a serrated black rear that you can drift for windage, giving you a clean, uncluttered picture that works well up close.
Built for Everyday Carry Duty
Taurus ran the GX4 platform through more than 20,000 rounds of testing before it hit shelves, and the design shows practical touches everywhere you look. There's a visual loaded chamber indicator, a trigger safety and striker block for drop protection, a reversible magazine release for lefties, and a simple takedown pin that makes field stripping painless. Grip and magazine cutouts help you rip a stubborn mag free if you ever need to clear a malfunction in a hurry.
What Comes with the Taurus GX4 MS Green
Every GX4 ships with two 11-round magazines, so you can carry one and keep a loaded spare from day one. Toss in the Limited Lifetime Warranty backing it up, and this little green pistol makes a strong case as a first carry gun or a lighter alternative to the compact you've been lugging around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Taurus GX4 optics ready?
No, this is the standard GX4 with a solid slide, so there's no red dot cut. If you want to run a micro red dot, look at the GX4 T.O.R.O. version instead. The iron sights on this one are a white-dot front paired with a drift adjustable rear, which works well for defensive distances.
Does the GX4 have a manual thumb safety?
This model does not have an external thumb safety. It relies on a trigger safety, an internal striker block, and a visual loaded chamber indicator, similar to most modern striker-fired carry pistols. Taurus does make GX4 variants with a manual safety if you prefer one.
How does the Taurus GX4 compare in size to other micro-compact 9mms?
It sits right in the same class as the Sig P365 and Springfield Hellcat, with a roughly one-inch-wide frame, a 3.06 inch barrel, and an 18.5 ounce empty weight. The 11+1 capacity matches or beats most rivals in the base configuration. It disappears easily inside the waistband, even under lighter clothing.
How many magazines come with the GX4 MS Green?
Taurus includes two 11-round magazines with this model, so you have a spare ready to go right out of the box. Higher capacity GX4 magazines are available separately if you want extra rounds for range days or a backup reload.
