Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round 9mm Pistol 3.71 in. Black – Superb Compliant Carry Option

Description

The Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round is the long-slide, long-grip GX4 built with ten-round magazines, which makes it legal where capacity is restricted and perfectly sensible everywhere else. You keep the 3.71-inch barrel, the full-length grip and the sight radius; you give up three rounds.

The Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round has a black gas nitride slide over a black DLC stainless barrel and a black polymer frame with an interchangeable backstrap. Flat-faced trigger, front and rear serrations, and a slide width still around an inch.

What the Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round gives you

• The Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round has a 3.71-inch barrel, about two-thirds of an inch longer than the standard GX4 Micro
• A full-length grip frame, so all three fingers land on the gun without a magazine extension
• Ten-round magazines that sit flush, which is the flattest this pistol will ever be
• The same slide width as the micro-compacts, so it conceals almost identically
• Interchangeable backstraps to match the grip circumference to your hand
• Flat-faced trigger with a short, clearly defined reset
• Black gas nitride slide and black DLC stainless barrel, both finishes that handle sweat well

Who buys a ten-round version

• Anyone in a state or county with a magazine capacity limit, where this is simply the version that is legal
• Shooters who prefer a flush magazine and a completely uninterrupted grip line for carry
• People who find the thirteen-round magazine makes the grip slightly too long for deep concealment
• The Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round takes the higher-capacity magazines as well, so capacity is an option rather than a limit
• Everything mechanical is identical to the standard XL. Holsters, sights and parts all interchange
• No optic cut and no accessory rail on this model, which is the trade for the slim profile

9mm Luger is the most heavily produced and most tightly standardised handgun cartridge in the world, with chamber and pressure specifications published by SAAMI. That is why a pistol at this price can be trusted with bulk range ammunition and premium defensive loads alike, provided you confirm your chosen carry load cycles in your own gun.

One correction to the distributor data. Sports South lists the frame on this SKU as stainless steel. It is not: the Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round has a polymer frame with a steel chassis inside it, which is how it weighs what it does. The same error appears across most of the Taurus polymer line, so it is worth knowing when you compare spec sheets between retailers.

Why this pistol earns its place

• A full-size grip and sight radius in a pistol about an inch wide
• Flush ten-round magazines, which give the flattest possible carry profile
• The Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round is legal where capacity limits apply, with no compromise on the gun itself
• A flat trigger and short reset that would not embarrass a pistol at twice the price
• Backstraps included, so the fit is adjustable rather than fixed
• Priced low enough to own alongside a full-size pistol rather than instead of one

Carriers in capacity-restricted jurisdictions, anyone who prefers a flush magazine, and shooters who have found a true micro-compact too small to shoot well. The Taurus GX4 XL 10 Round is also a sensible first carry gun for the same reasons as the standard XL.

If capacity is not restricted where you are, the standard GX4 XL ships with an eleven-round flush and a thirteen-round extended magazine. For a shorter slide with the same full grip, the GX4 Carry is the alternative.

For the smallest package, the GX4 Micro is the flattest of the family, and the TORO Micro in ten-round trim adds a factory optic cut. In a compact with a rail, the GX2 is the budget answer.

Every Taurus GX4 XL ships with the factory case, the magazine, the spare backstraps, the manual and a lock. Transfers go to your FFL and our end of the paperwork is done the same day.
