Taurus Introduces GX4 Micro Compact 9mm

[OKNewshawk]

Taurus today introduced the GX4, a micro compact 9mm striker fired pistol assembled in Bainbridge, GA. The pistol is single action striker fired, 18.5 oz and 1 in. wide, with a 3 in. barrel, 11 round standard magazine, swappable backstraps, and an innovative takedown system to reduce snagging. 13 round magazines are available, as are holsters from three different manufacturers, including Mission First Tactical, Crossbreed, and UM Tactical. Sights are interchangeable.

What's interesting is what Taurus didn't include in the gun. There's no double strike capability and no manual safety, Taurus relying on the trigger safety only. I believe this is due to the guns being assembles in the U.S. instead of Brazil.

Best part? The MSRP is $392.

I keep having flashbacks to the scene in Men in Black where Will Smith is given that tiny ray gun..........

Looks a lot like the Beretta APX Carry....

Looks good to me. The first handgun I ever owned was a PT145 Millennium Pro and it has been cool to see them get better and better at making guns over the years.

The lack of double strike and manual safety are not a big deal, IMO.

Taurus has come a long way, but they needed to LOL.... The G3 line is pretty solid.

True, but they have one major thing holding them back still: Their name.

I wouldn’t mind picking one up just to test out. I was toying with the idea of getting the G3C but now that this is out…
