Taurus, the world’s largest seller of small arms, continues to expand its 3rd generation pistol portfolio and launches the GX4 Carry Graphene T.O.R.O., which joins the innovative and multi-award-winning GX4 modular pistol platform.
The newest high-capacity subcompact has magazines for 15 and 17 rounds (pat. pend.), in 9mm caliber, and the Taurus Optic Ready Option (T.O.R.O.) system which, through an interchangeable plate, allows most of the optical sights available on the market to be accommodated, as well as having a standard Picatinny rail for accessories.
The version has parts injected in graphene and finished in Cerakote® Graphene, which brings all the benefits of this pioneering and exclusive Taurus technology, such as greater resistance and durability for the pistol.
The Taurus GX4 Carry Graphene T.O.R.O. has a Striker Fire firing system, a 3.7″ barrel coated with a layer of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon), a cutting-edge technology that increases the hardness of steel, as well as a polymer grip, a high-strength stainless steel internal chassis and a Cerakote®-coated bolt.
The model is ideal for concealed carry due to its dimensions, with an overall length of 6.56″ (166.5mm), a height of 5.19″ (131.7mm) and a width of 1.11″ (28.3mm).
Like all pistols in the GX4 family, it comes with interchangeable backstraps, meaning customers can adjust the size of the grip to suit their hand perfectly.
In keeping with the highest safety standards, the pistol is equipped with a striker lock, trigger lock and ammunition indicator in the chamber. The GX4 Carry Graphene T.O.R.O. also has the option of a magazine extension, sold separately.

It also stood out at Ballistic’s fifth annual Best Guns Of The Year Awards and won Ballistic magazine’s Best Value Handgun in the United States in 2022. The editors’ choice for the award was for the gun that offers the best relationship between features offered to the user and its price (best value for money), and the GX4 family was the logical selection on these criteria.
