Taurus Gx4 Tau 1-Gx4M931B 9Mm Bk/Pvd Blue 3.0 11/13R

The Taurus GX4 Tau is a compact 9mm striker-fired pistol built for shooters who want reliability and shootability in a carry-friendly package. With a 3-inch barrel and overall length under 6.1 inches, it's slim enough for everyday carry or backup duty without sacrificing the ergonomics and controls that matter when you need to shoot fast and straight. The GX4 Tau bridges the gap between pocket guns and full-size duty pistols—it's at home at the range, in the field, or riding daily.

The trigger is what sets this one apart. A flat-face design with a crisp break and short reset makes follow-up shots intuitive and controllable, whether you're working on accuracy drills or defensive transitions. The included adjustable rear sight (serrated, drift-adjustable) and fixed front sight get you on target quickly if you're not running optics; the sight plane is designed for natural point-of-aim. Two backstrap options—standard and high-swell—let you dial in the grip angle that works for your hand and shooting style, which makes a real difference in a compact pistol.

Durability and corrosion resistance are engineered in. The slide is carbon steel with a gas nitride coating for surface hardness; the barrel wears a black DLC finish that resists wear and corrosion. Disassembly is straightforward thanks to an easy takedown pin, so field cleaning is simple. You get two magazines in the box—an 11-rounder and a 13-rounder—giving you options depending on how you carry or what mission you're suited up for.

The GX4 Tau runs on a dual-safety system: a trigger safety and a striker block. The stainless steel frame insert keeps things solid where it counts. At 18.5 ounces unloaded, it's light enough to carry all day without fatigue, but substantial enough to manage recoil and stay controllable through rapid fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GX4 Tau good for concealed carry?

Yes. At 3 inches long, 4.4 inches tall, and 1.08 inches wide, the GX4 Tau is purpose-built for carry. It's compact enough for appendix, IWB, or ankle carry, and light at 18.5 ounces so it won't fatigue you over a full day of carry.

Can I swap backstraps if my hand size or grip preference changes?

Yes. The GX4 Tau comes with two backstrap options—a standard profile with a slight palm swell and a high-swell backstrap for shooters who prefer a higher wrist position. They're easy to swap for natural point-of-aim and comfort.

What's included in the box?
