Taurus made real inroads in the micro-compact market with the GX4, and the TORO version adds the optics-ready slide cut that has become essential on a modern carry gun. A red dot on a pistol this small is arguably more valuable than on a full-size, since the short sight radius of a 3-inch barrel makes iron sights less forgiving. The gold-finished barrel is a distinctive touch against the black slide and frame. Interchangeable backstraps, a flat-faced trigger and aggressive grip texturing round out a genuinely competitive concealed carry 9mm.
