That’s a ton of money just laying there…no, not the gun. I was able to get a boatload of rounds on target.

Yep, it’s cheap, but the plus side is I didn’t have to hold back. Alongside it, I carted out some Russian steel-cased ammo. I headed to the range to put this tiny pistol to the test. It’s not the prettiest but it gets the job done. Not that you necessarily need your gun to be as pretty as you, though. The finish is nice and all, but she’s not a looker. Now, as far as aesthetics…she ain’t winning any beauty contests. The slide features serrations that look nice and make slide manipulations easy. The magazine release is a tad shallow but it’s not a dealbreaker. The magazine release might be a tad too shallow for my liking, but it’s billed as a carry gun, and carry guns typically carry smaller controls. Grip texture doing…grip texture things.Īs far as controls are concerned, everything is more or less where you expect it – all within reach and easy to manipulate. It’s always nice when manufacturers add a little extra texturing, especially on snappy micro-compacts. The grip comes outfitted with some texturing, which allows for a good grasp. It feels good in the hand, but its diminutive size is both a good and bad thing. Swinging for the fences at $392 MSRP, the 9mm Taurus is designed specifically for those that want to concealed carry but also don’t need a tricked-out Gucci Glock to do it. – For bigger handed folks, you will need to adjust your grip because this gun is small. + Magazines are made by Mec-Gar in Italy (they are the best!)

This case you can actually use to tote the GX4 to and from the range. I think this is a definite improvement over Taurus’ old habit of sending its guns out in cardboard boxes.

It ships with a pair of magazines and two backstraps (small and large), all in a nice plastic box. Just peek into the window and you know whether you’ve got a round ready or not. You can see that round just hanging out in there. May not seem like a huge deal, but it’s nice not to have to press check every time you pick it up. I like the fact that you also get a loaded chamber indicator. Nothing fancy here, but that’s okay, especially for a budget gun. The gun is built on a stainless steel frame and sports a polymer grip. 11 rounds! We’re in!īarrel sits at 3.06-inches in total length.

Measuring only 1.08-inches, it packs 11 rounds! Width is really where this pistol shines, though. Weight-wise you’re looking at about 18.5-ounces. Measuring 5.8-inches with the small backstrap (and 6.05-inches with the large), the striker-fired GX4 stands 4.4-inches tall. Straight up, the GX4 comes in as an ultra-compact, super concealable carry gun. Look around the compact pistol market, and you’ll find a ton of models claiming to be small enough for concealed carry. Taurus hasn’t always been synonymous with reliability and high performance, but the company has worked over the years to rectify that by bringing affordable pistols to the masses.Īnd now, Taurus waded into that pool further, releasing the teeny tiny GX4.
