Taurus Gx4 Tau 1-Gx4M931G 9Mm Bk/Pvd Gold 3.0 11/13R
The Taurus GX4 Tau is a compact 9mm striker-fired pistol built for shooters who want a carry gun that doesn't compromise on shootability. With a 3-inch barrel, sub-7-inch overall length, and just 18.5 ounces, it's sized for concealment without sacrificing the ergonomics and control you need at the range or in a defensive situation. The GX4 Tau comes with two magazine options—an 11-rounder for concealed carry and a 13-rounder for range days or duty—so you can configure it to match your mission.
Durability and corrosion resistance are baked in. The slide is carbon steel with a gas-nitride finish for hardness, while the barrel wears a black DLC coating that reduces friction and resists wear. The stainless steel frame insert resists corrosion and supports a polymer grip that's comfortable in hand. Two backstrap sizes let you dial in the fit: the standard profile offers a slight palm swell, and the high-swell option gives you a higher wrist position for natural point-of-aim if that's your preference.
The trigger is where you'll notice the GX4 Tau's focus on accuracy. The flat-face design delivers a crisp sear break and a short, tactile reset that makes follow-up shots fast and predictable. Iron sights—a fixed white-dot front and a serrated drift-adjustable rear—are ready to go out of the box, and the sight plane plays well with red dots if you want to add one. Takedown is straightforward with an easy-pin system, making cleaning and maintenance simple.
Whether you're building a concealed-carry rotation, need a reliable range gun, or want a compact backup, the GX4 Tau delivers compact ergonomics with a shooter-focused feature set and proven durability.
