The Taurus GX4 Carry in black is a compact 9mm SAO semi-automatic pistol with a 15+1 capacity. The polymer frame uses a black gas nitride slide finish, and the flat-face serrated trigger is designed for consistent pull. At 1.3 lbs with a 3.70-inch barrel and 6.40-inch overall length, it carries well for an all-day carry pistol.

The Taurus GX4 Carry 9mm in black draws a fairly split response -- most owners are satisfied, but reliability concerns come up more than in some competing platforms.

The 15+1 capacity is consistently praised as a major advantage in this size class. The ergonomic grip and light weight make it comfortable for extended carry. Trigger performance gets generally positive feedback, with most owners finding the flat-face trigger smooth for the price point.

Reliability is the main debate. Some owners report occasional feeding and ejection failures, which is a real concern for a self-defense pistol. The consensus is to run a thorough break-in with your carry ammunition before trusting it. Build quality perceptions vary -- most find it solid for the price, but it doesn't match premium brands in component feel. Both camps agree that extensive range testing before defensive carry is advisable.
