The metal internal parts are nickel plated for corrosion resistance. Other parts, such as the slide stop, are coated with a polymer overmolding for maximum durability. Some of the operational control parts, such as the magazine release, receive Teflon coating for optimal smoothness, corrosion resistance, and wear endurance. Obviously, since this is a striker-fired pistol, there is no external hammer.

There is no manual thumb safety on our sample, so the slide stop and the magazine release are the only parts that stick out, and they sure don’t stick out much. The magazine release is set up on the left side, but according to the GX4’s press material, it is reversible. Speaking of the controls, the GX4 has a slim-profile slide stop on the left side of the frame and an unobtrusive magazine release not quite halfway down the grip. As with other new Taurus pistols, the GX4’s polymer frame has textured pads above the trigger guard on both sides for safe positioning of the trigger finger and recoil-control management.
It literally fits in the palm of a hand and weighs just three times what my Android cell phone weighs. Measuring outside the controls, the pistol is 1.08 inches thick. The frame proper is 1.0 inch thick, and the slide is 0.95 inch thick.
It is 6.05 inches in length and 4.4 inches in height. As many readers are aware, a micro-sized 9mm is often not the most comfortable handgun to shoot, even with the relatively mild-recoiling 9mm Luger cartridge. It’s also designed to be comfortable to shoot. Taurus describes its new micro-sized GX4 9mm striker-fired, polymer-frame 9mm pistol with words like “artful,” “intelligent,” and “much praised.” The company also says the pistol presents “negligible printing,” and that is muito importante since the GX4 is designed specifically for concealed carry.
