Taurus 1-GX4M931-G GX4 Micro-Compact Frame 9mm Luger 13+1 3.06" Satin Black DLC Stainless Steel Barrel, Gold PVD Serrated Alloy Steel Slide, Matte Black Stainless Steel Frame, Textured Grip

The Taurus GX4 Micro-Compact 9mm is built for shooters who need a reliable, concealable handgun without compromising on features or control. At just 18.5 ounces and 6.05 inches overall, this striker-fired single-action pistol slides into an IWB holster or pocket without printing, making it a genuine option for everyday carry, backup duty, or travel. The 13+1 capacity—fed by included 11- and 13-round magazines—gives you real firepower in a package that doesn't feel like a compromise.

What sets the GX4 apart in the micro-compact segment is its thoughtful ergonomics and shootable design. The flat-face trigger breaks crisply with a short, positive reset that rewards quick follow-up shots, and the adjustable rear sight and fixed white-dot front sight are ready to run right out of the box or work seamlessly with a red dot if that's your setup. The two included backstrap options let you dial in the grip angle—choose the standard swell for a neutral grip or swap to the high-swell backstrap if you prefer a higher wrist position for better natural point-of-aim. Strip and reassemble is straightforward thanks to the easy takedown pin design, and the gold-PVD slide with serrated edges gives you something tough that actually looks good doing it.

The hardware is unapologetic about durability. The barrel features black DLC coating to cut friction and fight corrosion—important in anything from coastal humidity to desert dust. The carbon steel slide gets a gas nitride treatment for surface hardness that won't quit, and the stainless steel frame insert paired with a textured polymer grip delivers both weight savings and control. Dual safety systems (striker block and trigger safety) keep the gun secure until you're ready.

This is a 9mm that knows its job: get on target fast, stay accurate through the string, and be easy enough to carry that you'll actually have it when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Taurus GX4 small enough for concealed carry?

Yes. At 6.05 inches overall length, 4.40 inches in height, and 18.5 ounces unloaded, the GX4 is purpose-built for IWB carry or off-body carry. The compact profile and light weight make it genuinely concealable without the sacrifice in shootability or magazine capacity that you'd expect from a pocket gun.

Can I adjust the sights or mount a red dot?

The rear sight is drift-adjustable, so you can zero it to your point of impact. The fixed white-dot front sight works well for iron sight shooting. The gun is designed to accept a red dot—optics-ready mounting is supported—though the specific mounting system is best confirmed directly.

What's included with the gun, and can I change how it fits my hand?

The GX4 ships with two magazines (one 11-round, one 13-round) and two backstrap options. The standard backstrap has a slight palm swell, while the high-swell backstrap is included for shooters who prefer a higher wrist position and faster natural point-of-aim. Swapping is quick and requires no tools beyond the easy takedown pin design.

How does the DLC barrel coating help?

The black DLC coating on the barrel reduces friction between the slide and barrel, which improves reliability and accuracy over time. It also resists corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and sweat—important if you carry daily or shoot in variable conditions.
