Improve the crispness and feel of your trigger and felt recoil with this Ultimate Topside Upgrade Kit for the 9mm Taurus GX4.  These are among the most popular and highest rated upgrade parts in the Lakeline catalog, now offered together in a discounted kit!
 
MADE IN USA!!!! 
 
This kit includes:
  • Stainless Steel Recoil Assembly (TA-RA-GX4-FASY) - you choosed Stainless, Black Nitride, or Gold Titanium Nitride Finish)
  • SureFire® Stainless Steel Striker Assembly for Taurus GX4 Series Pistols (STR-RD-GSX4-ASSY)
What do you get:
 
Lakeline Stainless Steel Recoil Assembly have a reputation for being tough, really tough!  The Lakeline Recoil assembly is designed to be the last recoil assembly your Taurus GX4 will ever need.  It is designed to be maintainable so springs can be changed if or when they eventually wear out.  This is NOT a throw away, that must be replaced when it needs new springs.  Spare springs are readily available for the Lakeline recoil assembly. 
 
Fully assembled!  Just field strip your pistol, lube it, and put it in.
 
With tens of thousands in use, these recoil assemblies have been proven for hundreds of thousands of rounds.  There is simply no more reliable recoil assembly for the Taurus.  No plastic, or thin drawn parts!  The recoil rod is a single piece with the flange,  the most highly stressed part, machined as one piece with the Guide Rod.  If your pistol is jammed from a failed factory or competitor's recoil assembly email our customer support to get instructions on how to get your pistol back apart.
 
The most proven, reliable and soft shooting recoil assembly for the GX4 series Taurus pistols is right here.
 
The springs are made from the best spring wire available and carefully finished to make sure that they will not over ride themselves or the flanges they ride on.  The Lakeline springs rates are also optimized and provide a smoother recoil pulse than the factory parts while still shooting all standard rounds reliably.  You don't have to select a light spring, that doesn't tolerate heavy loads, nor a heavy spring, that may not cycle regular range ammo with the Lakeline recoil assembly.  By optimizing the spring rates, choosing spring material that doesn't weaken under use as much as typical and using better spring and sleeve lengths, this recoil assembly provides lighter recoil with range ammo all the way to +P rounds.
 
SureFire® Stainless Steel Striker Assembly for Taurus GX4 Series Pistols. Improve the crispness and feel of your trigger while adding punch with the Lakeline precision machined Striker Assembly.
 
This fully complete assembly is drop in ready and includes Lakeline designed and manufactured:
- Precision machined 17-4 Precipitation Hardened and polished SureFire® Stainless Steel Firing Pin (striker)
- 303 Stainless Steel Striker Guide
- 303 Stainless Steel one piece Spring Retainer
- High Performance Alloy Spring Steel Striker and Striker Return Springs
 
MADE IN USA!!!! 
 
Drop in installation.  Unload your pistol, visually confirm it is unloaded. Field strip the slide off of the frame, remove the backplate and pull out the striker assembly, replace it with the new assembly.  Reinstall backplate and put the slide back onto the frame. See additonal notes below.
 
Additonal background on the SureFire Striker Assembly:
In the stock trigger you can feel the uneven and nonlinear pull just before the trigger releases.  Replacing plastic stock striker components with precision CNC machined and polished stainless steel gives a consistent, low friction trigger pull.
 
The Lakeline Firing Pin is precison machined and uses the high performance precipitation hardened stainless steel that is electro-polished.  This firing pin is hard nosed and will give you lasting, impact strikes.
 
Some companies aggressively market titanium parts for firearms in the name of weight savings and there are application where that significantly higher cost makes sense. The Lakeline SureFire Stainless Steel Firing Pin weighs less than 0.2 oz, about the weight of 2 pennies; we don't think doubling the price of the firing pin is worth making it weigh 1 1/2 pennies. Titanium also readily deforms and has low elasticity compared to stainless - which means you will have to replace it more often. We prioritize high quality performance at a reasonable price.
 
Installation instructions here.
 
Because PT111-G2 and PT140-G2 may require fitting of the Taurus Security System cam to install this part, we recommend installation only by a qualified gunsmith.  This product also disables the Taurus Security System lock when installed on a pistol if the pistol is so equipped.

    Quality replacement parts for GX4

    Posted by Stan M on 7th Apr 2025

    These are quality replacement parts for the GX4. I haven't had any issues with the OEM parts but it does help with peace of mind in replacing the plastic striker sleeve (all other parts were metal). In terms of feel, the recoil spring does feel like it helps with the snappiness. CAUTION: You'll want to loctite the recoil spring screw as I found it starting to back out after only 50 rounds.

    Topside Upgrade kit

    Posted by George Saylor on 20th Sep 2024

    Since new my Taurus GX4 suffered from light primer strikes with certain ammo. Even after cleaning the striker channel I still had light strikes. Next problem was a grinding noise which I suspected to be the stock recoil spring. While I have not fired the pistol yet with the new striker system, I am certain it will solve the light primer strikes. The steel firing pin replaced the stock titanium pin. I’ve swapped out titanium with steel in other pistols with the expected results so I have no doubt that problem will be solved. The Lakeside recoil spring completely eliminated any type of noice. It is smooth and consistent. I would also like to highlight the Lakeside customer service. As a new customer I was very impressed with the email communication provided and the tracking system which continually updated.
