Taurus GX4 XL T.O.R.O. 9mm Micro-Compact Pistol

Taurus GX4 XL T.O.R.O. Micro-Compact 9mm Pistol

The Taurus GX4 XL T.O.R.O. represents a thoughtful evolution in micro-compact pistol design. The extended slide adds critical length compared to the standard GX4, delivering improved muzzle velocity and sight radius—advantages that translate directly to better accuracy and faster target acquisition.

Design and Ergonomics

This pistol features a refined ergonomic package designed for shooters of all experience levels:

• Dual Backstrap System: The standard backstrap provides a slight palm swell, while the included high-swell option accommodates shooters who prefer a higher wrist position for natural point-of-aim
• Flat-Faced Serrated Trigger: Engineered for comfort and control, promoting consistent trigger breaks
• Reversible Magazine Release: Ambidextrous operation for left or right-handed shooters
• Easy Take-Down Pin: Simplifies field disassembly and cleaning

Optics Ready Platform

The T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optics Ready Option) slide is cut for direct-thread mounting of popular red dot optics, including the Shield RMSc, Holosun HS507K X2, Sightmark Mini Shot A-Spec M3, and Trijicon RMR cc (with adapter plate). Iron sights remain available: a blackout steel serrated drift-adjustable rear sight and fixed white dot front sight ensure fast target acquisition when running without a red dot.
