Description
The Taurus GX4 was the gun that put Taurus back on the map for serious carry shooters, and this Gray/Tungsten version keeps everything that made it a hit while adding a sharp two-tone look. You get a micro-compact 9mm with an 11+1 capacity riding inside a frame that measures just over an inch wide, so it tucks away under light clothing without printing. At right around 18 ounces empty, it carries all day without dragging your belt down.
The slide wears a serrated tungsten gray Cerakote finish over alloy steel, paired with a gray polymer frame and a DLC-coated stainless barrel. That combo holds up well against holster wear and sweat, which matters on a gun you actually carry. The 3-inch barrel keeps the overall package short at under six inches long, and the no-snag profile means nothing hangs up on the draw.
What Makes the GX4 Shoot Above Its Size
For a pistol this small, the GX4 is surprisingly easy to control. The flat-faced serrated trigger breaks clean with a quick reset, and the signature indexing point plus the Recoil Management Pad help keep follow-up shots on target. Reviewers consistently note how comfortable it is to shoot for a micro 9, and that it runs reliably across a range of ammo once you put a box or two through it. Two interchangeable backstraps let you dial in the grip to your hand.
Sights and Carry-Ready Details on the GX4
This model comes with a fixed steel front sight and a drift-adjustable serrated steel rear, so you can fine-tune your zero. The GX4 also uses Glock-compatible sight cuts, which opens up a wide aftermarket if you want to swap in night sights or fiber optics down the road. Safety features include a trigger safety, striker block, and a visual loaded chamber indicator. Round it out with a reversible magazine release and an easy takedown pin for quick cleaning, and you've got a practical, no-nonsense carry gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Taurus GX4 a good gun for concealed carry?
It's one of the better micro-compact options out there for the money. The frame is just over an inch wide and the whole gun weighs around 18 ounces empty, so it hides easily and carries comfortably all day. With 11+1 on tap, you're not giving up much capacity for that small footprint.
How many magazines come with the GX4 Gray/Tungsten?
This model ships with two 11-round magazines, along with two interchangeable backstraps to fit your hand. You also get a pistol case, cable lock, and the owner's manual. Picking up a few extra mags for range days is never a bad idea.
Can I put a red dot or different sights on the Taurus GX4?
This standard GX4 isn't optics-cut from the factory, so if you want a red dot you'd want the T.O.R.O. version instead. That said, the GX4 uses Glock-compatible sight cuts, so swapping the irons for night sights or fiber optics is easy with widely available aftermarket options.
Is the Taurus GX4 reliable?
Long-term reviews have run thousands of rounds through GX4 pistols across FMJ, steel-case, and defensive hollow points with very few issues. As with any carry gun, run a couple hundred rounds through it first and test your chosen defensive ammo to confirm it cycles cleanly before you carry it.
What's the trigger like on the GX4?
The GX4 comes with a flat-faced, serrated trigger that breaks clean with a fairly quick reset. It's a noticeable step up from older Taurus triggers and gets praised for how good it feels in a gun at this price point. Some shooters find it a touch stiff out of the box, but it tends to smooth out with use.
