Taurus GX4 Series the Most Awarded Handgun Over the Last Two Years

Renowned for its exceptional quality and cutting-edge innovation, the Taurus GX4 pistol and its variants have captivated both domestic and international markets.

Developed by Taurus, the GX4 pistol platform incorporates state-of-the-art technological advancements, propelling it to become the most acclaimed firearm in the fiercely competitive North American market. It has already secured an impressive tally of six prestigious awards.

Recently, the Taurus GX4 XL garnered the highly esteemed "Great Buy" accolade as the "Best Pistol 2023" in the micro-compact category from Outdoor Life magazine, one of the top publications in North America focusing on outdoor sports. This recognition stems from the pistol's outstanding value proposition, catering to users seeking a cost-effective compact 9mm.

In 2022, the GX4 series achieved the coveted Handgun of The Year award from GUNS & AMMO magazine, the most significant accolade in the American handgun industry—the world's largest firearms market.

Also, it was prominently featured in the fifth annual Ballistic’s Best Guns Of The Year Awards, where it secured the 2022 Best Value Handgun award from Ballistic magazine in the United States. The esteemed editorial team selected the GX4 family based on its unmatched combination of features and affordability, making it the clear frontrunner in this category.

In 2021, the year of its debut, the Taurus GX4 pistol clinched two of the most prestigious industry awards in the United States: Best New Weapon of 2021 and Best New Overall Product at the 5th edition of the NASGW-POMA Caliber Awards (Quality/Excellence Awards). The NASGW, the representative body for shooting sports wholesalers, manufacturers, and their business partners, bestowed these honors.

Renowned expert Rob Reaser, acclaimed author and co-author of numerous books on handguns and rifles, as well as the editor-in-chief of Shoot On, the United States' leading source of specialized firearms news, assessed the GX4 and declared it the most accurate micro-pistol ever tested by Shoot On. He further emphasized that the GX4 in the T.O.R.O version maintains the exceptional performance of its standard iteration.

Moreover, Taurus has garnered over 37 international awards, solidifying its position as the world's leading seller of small arms and the most sought-after brand in the discerning North American market. These accolades underscore the global relevance of the company's products, particularly in the United States, which accounts for more than 80% of its global sales.
