Taurus GX4 TORO 10 Round 9mm Micro-Compact 3.06in — Superb Carry Pistol

Description

The Taurus GX4 TORO 10 Round is the optic-ready micro-compact built around a ten-round magazine, catalogued by Taurus as 1-GX4MP931-10. A 3.06-inch barrel in satin black DLC, a black nitride alloy steel slide cut at the factory for a micro red dot, a matte black polymer frame, interchangeable backstraps and a loaded chamber indicator.

Ten rounds is the ceiling in a number of states, and buying a pistol designed around that magazine beats buying a larger one and hunting for a restricted stick. The Taurus GX4 TORO 10 Round is also the flush-fit configuration, so the grip stops within the hand rather than below it, which is what actually determines whether a micro-compact prints.

MAG5 Firearms has it in stock. Handguns ship to a licensed FFL on a signed 4473, and we coordinate the transfer with your dealer. Check your own state’s rules before ordering.

Optic ready, in the smallest frame Taurus makes

• The slide is milled for a micro red dot at the factory and ships with a cover plate fitted, so no gunsmith is involved.
• An optic helps more on a short barrel than on a long one, because the iron sight radius here is only about three inches.
• A loaded chamber indicator, which is a useful feature on a gun that spends most of its life in a holster.
• The Taurus GX4 TORO 10 Round takes interchangeable backstraps, which is rare on a micro-compact.
• A 3.06-inch barrel and a flush magazine put it firmly into pocket and ankle carry territory.

Finishes and handling

• Satin black DLC on the barrel is a hard, low-friction surface that helps the pistol run clean between cleanings.
• Black nitride on the slide is a surface treatment rather than a coating, so it does not chip at holster contact points.
• Aggressive texturing across the grip and front strap, because a light pistol needs a firm hold to run reliably.
• Serrated slide with cuts deep enough to work with wet or gloved hands.
• The Taurus GX4 TORO 10 Round is striker fired, with the same trigger weight and travel on every shot.

Ammunition is straightforward. Every 9mm Luger load 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 does cost velocity, so a defensive load designed to expand at carry-gun speeds earns its price here. We stock CCI Blazer Brass 9mm for practice and Buffalo Bore 9mm +P for carry.

If your state allows a full magazine, the GX4 micro-compact holds 11+1 and the longer-gripped GX4 Carry holds 15+1. Compare the rest of our semi-automatic handguns before deciding.

Why this GX4 earns its place

• The Taurus GX4 TORO 10 Round is one of very few micro-compacts with a factory optic cut at this price.
• A magazine built for ten rounds rather than a full-size one restricted after the fact.
• DLC and nitride are finishes usually found on pistols costing considerably more.
• 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 suits a buyer in a capacity-limited state who wants a micro-compact designed around the rules rather than restricted to fit them. The Taurus GX4 TORO 10 Round also appeals to anyone who simply prefers a flush magazine and a grip that disappears under a shirt, and the optic cut means a red dot can be added whenever the owner is ready.
