Taurus GX4 OD Green 9mm Micro-Compact 11+1 3.06in — Superb Carry Pistol

Description

The Taurus GX4 OD Green is the olive drab build of the micro-compact, catalogued as 1-GX4M931O. Eleven rounds of 9mm Luger plus one chambered, a 3.06-inch barrel, a black DLC alloy steel slide and an OD green polymer frame with interchangeable backstraps.

There is no optic cut on this one, which keeps the price down and the slide sealed. What you get instead is the finish combination that suits a working pistol best: a hard black DLC slide that shrugs off holster wear, and a frame moulded in a colour that hides dust and handling marks rather than showing every one of them.

MAG5 Firearms has the Taurus GX4 OD Green in stock. Handguns ship to a licensed FFL on a signed 4473, and we coordinate the transfer with your dealer.

Width is what conceals, not length

• The GX4 stacks its magazine in a shallow double column, so the grip stays narrow while still holding eleven rounds.
• Narrow is what makes a pistol disappear under a shirt. Length matters far less than most buyers assume.
• Interchangeable backstraps, which is unusual on a pistol this small and makes a real difference under recoil.
• A 3.06-inch barrel puts the Taurus GX4 OD Green firmly into pocket and ankle carry territory.
• Eleven plus one, which is more than most micro-compacts managed a few years ago.

Finishes that last

• Black DLC on the slide is a diamond-like carbon coating, considerably harder than nitride or paint.
• OD green polymer is moulded in colour rather than sprayed, so a scratch does not expose black underneath.
• OD green is a working colour. It reads as equipment rather than decoration and does not date.
• Aggressive texturing over the grip and front strap, because a light pistol needs a firm hold to run reliably.
• The Taurus GX4 OD Green has no optic cavity, so there is no cover plate to loosen and nothing to collect grit.

Ammunition is straightforward. All 9mm Luger from a reputable maker is produced to the chamber and pressure standard published by SAAMI, so practice ball and defensive hollow points both headspace and cycle correctly. A three-inch barrel costs velocity, so a defensive load designed to expand at carry-gun speeds is worth the extra money here. We stock CCI Blazer Brass 9mm for practice and Buffalo Bore 9mm +P for carry.

The same micro-compact in black is here and in tungsten grey here. For a factory optic cut, see the GX4 TORO. Compare the rest of our semi-automatic handguns too.

Why this GX4 earns its place

• The Taurus GX4 OD Green is one of the least expensive routes to eleven rounds of 9mm in a pistol this narrow.
• DLC is a genuinely hard coating, normally found on pistols costing considerably more.
• Colour-through polymer ages better than any sprayed or painted frame.
• Magazines and holsters for the GX4 line are widely stocked rather than special order.
• Taurus backs it with a limited lifetime repair policy that follows the firearm rather than the original buyer.

This is a carry pistol first and last. The Taurus GX4 OD Green suits someone who has tried carrying a compact, found it stayed in the safe on warm days, and wants a gun that will actually be on the belt. The colour suits anyone who would rather their pistol matched the rest of their kit than stood out from it.
