Taurus GX4 9mm 3.06" 13rd Coyote Pistol w/ Holster Kit

The GX4 is Taurus's micro compact 9mm, and the entire point of the gun is how much ammunition fits inside a frame roughly an inch wide. The 3.06" barrel and stubby grip vanish under a shirt, but the double stack magazine still holds 13 rounds, which is a number that used to require a compact duty pistol. Striker fired, no external safety to sweep, and light enough that people actually keep it on the belt instead of leaving it in a drawer.

This configuration pairs a coyote frame with a black slide, so it reads as something other than another all black carry gun. Aggressive texture wraps the grip on all four sides, which matters on a pistol this small since there is not much to hold onto once recoil starts. The kit adds a third magazine and a holster, so the pistol is ready to carry as it comes rather than needing another two purchases first. Recoil is brisk, as it is in anything this light chambered in 9mm, but the grip texture and the beavertail let you hold a firm position through a string. For a first carry gun or a backup to a larger pistol, the GX4 lands in the right spot on size and capacity.
