The Taurus GX4 is engineered around a striker-fired action with a flat face serrated trigger and trigger safety blade that provides a crisp, controlled pull optimized for both accurate shooting and safe everyday carry. Front side serrations on the slide enable press-checks and forward slide manipulations for shooters who prefer a more tactically versatile grip position. A steel recoil rod adds durability and consistency to the recoil management system, contributing to reliable cycling and long-term performance under sustained use.
