Overview

The Taurus GX4XL is a full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, manufactured by Taurus since 2022. With a 3.5-inch barrel, this pistol strikes the ideal balance between concealability and ballistic performance, extracting near-optimal velocity from the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge while remaining easily holstered for everyday carry.
