  4. New: Taurus GX4 Strike Bravo 9mm Pistol with Folding Brace

 

Taurus took its flagship micro 9mm pistol and added a chassis engineered with Strike Industries for seamless brace integration to create something interesting. 

The Taurus GX4 debuted in 2021 and has been a favorite with consumers. An easy on the wallet micro compact double-stack 9mm that reviewed well and came in at about $300-- a good bit less than its competition-- Taurus followed up on the hit by introducing optics-ready TORO models, which are direct milled for the Holosun K, as well as larger format Carry series guns with flush-fit 15 round mags. 

Now, with the new GX4 Strike Bravo, Taurus takes the GX4 Carry TORO and puts it inside a new chassis and modular grip system co-developed with Strike Industries, specifically engineered to accept the latter's side-folding FSA Single Stabilizer. Added to the package is a reversible charging handle, a suppressor-ready 3.7-inch extended barrel, and a long MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail for lights and lasers. 

Thus:

The overall length of the pistol with its Strike Industries FSA extended and locked into place is 18.38 inches.

The weight, unloaded and sans optics or accessories, is 34.9 ounces.

The reversible charging handle comes in handy when it comes to racking the slide due to the rear of the chassis.

It compacts down to about 10 inches, which makes it a tough but not impossible concealed carry piece, and more likely a bag gun. 


"The GX4 Strike Bravo is Taurus stepping in a bold new direction," said Laura Prieto, Marketing Manager. "By teaming up with Strike Industries, we didn’t just add a brace — we co-engineered a dedicated chassis and modular grip system to support it. That collaboration created an affordable, compact pistol that offers shooters extra stability, control, and versatility — expanding what they can expect from the GX4 family."

Shipping with two GX4 Carry-sized magazines (15 rounds or 10 rounds, depending on state restrictions) the Taurus GX4 Strike Bravo has an MSRP of $795.99. If you already have a brace with a rear Picatinny interface, the GX4 Strike Bravo is sold without one with an ask of $606.99.

Compare that cost to the SIG P365 Legion Flux, which has a $1,199 MAP in its cheapest format, and the $2,500 B&T USW-A1, and you see the value. In short, Taurus is now offering what could be termed "the USW we have at home" for a quarter of the price.
