I ordered the ported barrel from Lakeline for my GX4. I was not prompted for insurance, hence I did not take insurance on shipping. I did receive my barrel within about seven business days. I am extremely happy with their product. I am also very happy with your product reviews. Please continue to inform us with the latest products, God bless.

I purchased the UM holster awhile back for my GX4 and was happy carrying with it. Always looking for improvements, in anything, I ordered and now have the GX4 holster from CYA Supply. Everything you mentioned I agree with and it is a definate 'improvement' from the UM. It is not only more comfortable but it does cover more weapon including the mag release, prints less and I really like the forward cant. Thanks for what you do whether one agrees with you or not it is very good info.

I like your comparison of the pinky extenders and I bought the ones from shop Taurus and they fit my hand like the Lakeline fits yours and that price point was awesome. Great video and thank you for sharing man oh I bought the Rounded Kydex holster for my GX4 and it also has that 15-degree tilt that makes a huge difference in comfort and printing.

Great videos on the GX4. I bought this little guy specifically for pocket carry in a Remora holster. It works great, just like the Hellcat. Once you get into a bigger footprint than the GX4, Hellcat and regular P365, you basically have a belt gun or waist line gun. There are lots of options for that. Pocket carry works for my every day routine at 5'8" and 158 pounds. Plus on two occasions these last few years, it looked as though something bad was about to unfold and I just calmly put my hand in my pocket, and observed without calling ANY attention to the situation. Both situations sort of dissolved luckily, but nobody was the wiser. These pocket nines provide us with excellent options. My 2 cents.

I got my sticky holster for my gx4 almost a year ago. The recommended size was too tight IMO... so I exchanged it for one size up which I'm happy with. It has loosened a bit over time... so, the recommended size will probably also work after some break in. Personally, I like to be able to get the gun out easily... and I've never felt like the gun isn't secure in the +1 size. You can find size charts online.

I watched your previous video, along with some other people's videos, which described the Taurus brand pinky extension as being a bit anemic. For me, I could get half my pinky on the stock baseplate, so I figured it the extension would work for me. I picked it up and it's perfect. It barely adds any length, just enough to get a full grip with my pinky. Good video, just wanted to get my experiences out there for people who may be deciding what to get!

I still haven't bought the GX4 since this video came out 6 months ago, but, the vid popped up and I watched it again. With either of those holsters, how do you get a full three finger master grip between the top of your belt and the front/bottom of the pistol grip for a sub 2 second draw to first shot on target? The open space looks too small to smoothly and rapidly get the fingers completely wrapped around the pistol.

🔥👍🏼Thanks for the great video!! Likely a dumb question here but with the LakeLine barrels I get the reason for the ported and threaded barrels for the GX4 and G3C. They also have a G3C standard barrel that does not stick out pass slide. So my question is what is point of getting a standard LakeLine barrel other then for looks? really appreciate your help and response. I asked LakeLine about a standard barrel for the GX4 and they said about 6-8 weeks as they being made now.

@JayLewisFarmStyle 10 ай бұрын

While swapping to an extended and/or threaded barrel for the sake of adding a muzzle device or built in compensator makes sense, to do a barrel swap for the sake of swapping to a "speed part" in most cases for most people would be of minimal benefit. The finish on the Lakeline barrel is probably better than that of the factory part, but again how much would that help most users? Neither the G3 or G4 series would be what I would call target or match grade pistols, so adding a match grade barrel to either of those platforms would only help so much. Just my two cents. Thanks for watching!

I have had a bunch of iwb holsters for several different carry guns and I always hate the ones that don't ride deep enough. I have sold great guns in the past because of the issue and hadn't caught on to the real issue. Now days I make sure the belt line is behind the trigger guard so it rides low enough for my liking. Etsy usually has someone that makes one like I like.

@JayLewisFarmStyle Жыл бұрын

Agreed indeed! If it doesn't fit right, or is uncomfortable most folks won't carry it.

The holster from shop taurus can be adjusted to have a 15° cant. also. It does sit a little high but it helps conceal it a little better. But, I think I would like to try the holster you mentioned. Also, for me, the Taurus pinky extender works great. I do, however have a slightly skinnier hand than you. Other than that, I'm starting to love this micro.

Good morning, I may be a little late to the party .. I currently have the g2c as well as the Glock 43 and s&w bodyguard pocket pistol !! But the bodyguard is 380 nothing wrong with that just like a lil extra punch but is great for less clothes days since in fl ,, and I do love the g43 but not crazy about having to cary extra mag !! But the g2 and people may dis agree but I’ll trust my life and family with it do to never having any problems after approx 1k rounds and not one problem with various ammo .. sorry for going around my elbow to get from pinky to thumb !! ? Is i been looking at the g4 and wondering if there is enough difference between the two . To justify taking that step and spending monsoon new or doing some upgrades to the g2 ? Also as a preacher I appreciate you always adding God to your videos .. thanks for any positive feedback and may God bless you.

Pastor Carl, thanks for sharing brother! I used to carry a glock 42 (380 auto/ 7 round capacity) as a shorts and flip flops gun. I felt as you do that there were better options for practical self defense with a 9 mm over the 380. My 1st "Micro-9" was the P365. While it was significantly heavier than the Glock 42 the overall footprint wasn't much larger and I wasn't sure if the extra weight from the P365 would bother me. What I found after just a couple of months was that I liked the P365 so much that I never carried the 42 anymore. That being said I sold it at a local gun shop and used the money to purchase the Taurus GX4 as it was brand new to the market. I am not sure if you have handled or messed around with the GX4 yet, but one common misconception of folks who haven't seen 1 in real life is they think it is a newer edition of the G2C/G3C platform. The GX4 being its own platform is incredibly similar in size and weight and feel to the Sig P365. I carry the GX4 just as often as I carry the P365. While the Sig has a slight edge in overall fit and finish it also has a $200 premium over the GX4. In my opinion the GX4 is a very nice pistol and is arguably the most refined pistol Taurus has ever come out with. I hope you get the chance to handle/shoot one and I believe it will convince you to buy 1.

Mr. Lewis , thanks for the reply will be going by my local store and checking out !! I had heard mixed reviews but seining them side by side made a world of difference . Taurus has come a long way and knock on wood I personally have only ever had one bad one witch was the I believe the tcp 380 the ruger copy the safest place was in front of that gun lol. Anyway as a heads up for a short and t ship day I personally found the s&w m&p bodyguard 380 for pocket cary to be very worthwhile ,,, the only two things I can say negative and definitely not deal breakers is the limited 6+1 witch I found out the hard way had wife swing by a local shop and pick up 2 extended mags with extenders on them salesman told me they were 8 round with the extenders come to find out aftermarket 6 round mag with grip extenders on them looked like you put a 30 round clip in a Glock 42 lol what I get for not going myself.. anyway the standard are fine just no place for pinky is other down side but for ccw fits great in pocket or kydex and lite as a feather anyway thanks for feedback God bless you and all the subscribers ..

Would you recommend the gx4 pistol? I’ve been looking at one for a while.

@JayLewisFarmStyle 2 жыл бұрын

Short answer: yes. Long answer: assuming you're buying it for EDC/ personal protection it needs an Ameriglo night sight (front sight) which is an additional $30 from shoptaurus.com. At prices I've personally seen you should be able to get the pistol and that replacement front blade for around $400+tax. Then of course you'd need a proper holster which you would need regardless of pistol choice. THAT BEING SAID My advice is that for about $100-$150 more you could have a Sig P365 which is just a superior firearm. They share very similar dimensions but the Sig has the edge in the overall feel department. Still, $100 is $100 and if I had a $500 all in budget I'd buy the Taurus GX4 without hesitation.

I'm curious about the Lakeline Extension, and you did show it briefly, and talk about it extensively with regards to "purchase," but I would have really like to "see" more of the pistol with the angled extension. Perhaps do another demo with it flat on a table, maybe comparing it to other sub-compacts that you might have. Wahi' Valleys

I love both, and haven't had issues with either. P365 is finished off a little better, feels better in my hand, and ultimately I find myself carrying it more often. I'd say get whichever feels better in your hand.

I just bought the gx4 looking for a holster since the gun sits lower in the cya when drawing the gun can you still get a good grip sitting that low

@JayLewisFarmStyle 2 жыл бұрын

Short answer: Yes you can. Longer answer: Understand however that carrying, drawing, and shooting a micro compact pistol cannot be compared directly to carrying, drawing, and shooting a larger platform. There is a trade off. Micros are easier to carry, but require more attention when it comes to carrying, drawing, and shooting. It's simple really but seems to be overlooked by some. If you choose to acquire a micro compact for carry purposes you need to decide on how it will be carried then train for proficiency. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

Have you tried to induce the trigger issue where the striker only gets released late (or not at all)? So many people have been able to recreate the issue (or almost been injured by the problem) that it makes me think there's a design issue.
