I carry a GX4 all the time. It's extremely reliable and if things were to go down I'd rather them take this than a 1,000 gun

Owned the Shield, 43, 43x, Sig p365, GX4 and currently rock the Sig P365X. I love em all and would have to say the GX4 is the fastest from conceal to the target for my hand size. With over 2000 rounds the only issue is my rear sight moved a little. Straighten and put loctite on it. Very accurate gun! If it was made by Glock all hell would break loose.

I have followed this pistol since its release and it ticks a lot of boxes. It competes on its own merit and is in no way a price point compromise. Impressive and gets my vote for best pistol 2021.

I love my GX4, it has been my edc for a couple months now and it really works great for me.

Very nice review...thank you. I bought my GX4 for my NEW EDC. Wasn't looking for a firearm that was Red Dot Optics ready or had a 'rail'. I wanted a small 9mm that would be the best for self defense, concealment, yet have quality and be dependable. I wasn't going to be in any shooting competition with the GX4 as I have other firearms for that. Purchased the GX4 at my local Scheels and got the last one in stock at that time. 329.00 Put the Amerigo Glow Dot front sight on and a big+ over the white factory front sight. 29.95 Received the pinky extensions (2) for the two 11 rd mags that were included and that completed the grip for me....good to go with my pinky on board. 9.98 Of course my 13 rd mag has the extension. That's all I needed to do get the GX4 the way I wanted it on my hip.

Thanks for your comments. From Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Owned gx4 and best gun ever for price. Have owned lots of subcompact brand named guns, Taurus did a great job.

I've been a huge fan of Taurus handguns for years. Bought a PT99 around 15 yrs ago and got a PT1911 about 5 yrs ago. Stumbled across a G3 last year and was really impressed so I bought the G2c and G3c since then. G3c came with 3 12rd mags which I thought was awesome and I carry it daily. I've put well over 1000rds thru each one and never had a malfunction with any of them. So getting a GX4 is a no brainer for me. Just wish they came with a higher capacity magazine for a spare like the G3 did.

Well this excellent video just earned you a new subscriber. I’ve been a fan of Taurus pistols for a few years now. I have a Millennium G2 that I got way back in 2016 and I’ve carried it and shot it quite a bit since then. Shortly after that I got a 709 Slim that has also been a reliable carry piece for me. While there is no denying that Taurus has had some ups and downs it looks like they’re on the up swing now, hopefully for good. The GX4 is definitely on my radar for a future purchase. Thanks for the review.

Excellent objective review. Enjoyed your style & format

Very impressed with my GX4. I bought mine with optics installed and cost $425. I also own a Taurus PT-92AF. Everyone should really take note to this sub compact. Great video and review 👍🏻

I love my GX4 ! Teamed mine with the Veridian E series green laser ! Made for this model and easy to sight in ! I'm very happy with the accuracy at 20 yards on in !

Great review. Honestly, when I bought my GX4 I wasn’t even in the market for a new gun, it was absolutely an impulse buy. I’d watched a number of reviews (virtually all positive), and one day I was at my local gun store buying some ammo, and saw one, the low price point made it impossible not to turn down. Since purchasing it the only thing I replaced was the sights, which to me isn’t that big of a deal because I think most factory sights kinda suck (I’m looking at you Glock), but because the GX4 can utilize Glock compatible sights there’s a huge aftermarket selection. I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with gun. That established I never intended for it to become my EDC, I carry an HK VP9SK LE and absolutely love it. What I never thought of is the ability to carry the GX4 as a backup. It’s actually small and light enough to accommodate that for people who are disposed to do so. So, if you want to carry a backup, and aren’t a big fan of .380 for whatever reason the GX4 is an extremely viable alternative.

Thanks for a good review.

I just got 1 to replace my taurus 85 ultralight as my edc. Haven't taken it to the range yet but I'm loving it.

I am considering this for an EDC. I like the internal long steel chassis rails. I am NOT LOOKING for a range gun, but for up close & personal. Just today discovered your channel. I subscribed.

What a great review. Thank you for touching all bases. I am in the market for a micro 9 and will definitely be looking at this hard now.

Nice thorough review!

The M&P Shield 9 was selling out 2yrs before the G43 came out

I have a Sig 365XL which has the same grip frame as your 365X. Both of those share the same 12 round magazine which inserts flush with the grip. I prefer some of the magazine base protruding to get more positive insertion. Magguts has magazine kits that will give you a 14 round capacity and a slightly protruding base plate. It's a win/win proposition to me.

I came extremely close to buying one at the gun show a few weeks back, now I kinda wish I would've. I'm gonna be crazy broke till after Christmas (special thanks to my wife n kids... 🙄). Held it & was immediately surprised at how nice it fit in my hand. For such a tiny gun in my big *** mittens, it felt great. Had to stay focused thou. I went there for a good 22 pistol & that's what I left with 👍 I didn't need ANOTHER compact 9 just yet. Great review, thanks for sharing it.

My GX4 came with a miniature pistol on a keychain. It is used to fit the slot of the takedown screw and turn

I'm a big fan of Taurus handguns. I have the G3 and G3c and love them both. Now I'm going to add the GX4 to the family...

This gun with a IWB Forged Tec holster absolutely the most comfortable EDC I carry. Carried many others and none better than this one.

Own 2 g2c a g3 and just bought a gx4 today. Low e my Taurus arms no issues with any haven’t shot the gx4 yet as I just got it a hour ago

Own a GX4 for almost 3 yrs now. The slide is milled for Glock sights, so if you get aftermarket tritium sights made for a G19 they will fit on a GX4.

Good video that’s why I bought one on everything u said

I use the Sticky Holster with My GX4 9mm. Works extreme well for Me. Plus, I paid $314 for my Taurus GX4 9MM. I don't use the Sights while I shoot.. Never Have. I learned from my Stepnfather as a Young kid to Shoot Like I Point my finger. After a few years I could hit tin cans at 25 yards with ease. Point and pull.. from the late 1970's to this day, I shoot the same way. Nailing um.. basically, Sights are bullshit..

I bought one along with a Hellcat Pro 2 weeks ago. And to my surprise it shot tighter groups than the Pro. Maybe because of the well-defined sights and lighter trigger pull.

New subscriber here. This was perhaps the best GX4 review that I have seen to date. I would like to see a detailed review of the new GX4 Toro if/when you have one available. Your audio was great as well, which is half the battle in producing a great video review. Keep up the good work.

One of the best videos on KZfaq on the GX4. In not just another fan boy thank for you honesty I have a GX4 in its Performing just as well as my 365 in with that being said it's my EDC.i don't mind loosening 300$ Versus 600$. P.s I like the Gx4 trigger better

Great video.

The G43 came out in 2015. If you look at the Kel-Tec P11, it came out 20 years before that, and dimensionally is very similar to the micros.

Btw, if you use the RawDog Tactical hybrid holster, the shield holster fits the GX4.

Owned the Shield, Ruger lc9, Walther PPS, and the Glock compact. Carry the GX4 now, which is ironic because 5 years ago or so you could not give me a Taurus.

Very good table top review. The only thing that would have made it better is including some clips of shooting it in the range portion of your review. I didn't see this video when I was in the market for a micro9. (YT just recommended it.) I narrowed my choices down to the Ruger Max 9 and the GX4. As it turned out, I went with the GX4. It has been my EDC since March. I appreciated your observations about the stippling on the side of the frame adding to the gun's stability. When I first saw them, I thought Taurus did that primarily for training your index finger placement, and I didn't think it would be all that valuable to me. I was wrong. While I always make a conscious attempt to place my trigger finger on the frame above the trigger and out of the trigger guard, I found that the side stippling texture gave me an immediate confirmation that my finger was where it was supposed to be. I've come to value that. And the same holds true for the thumb placement on my support hand. BTW, I'm a southpaw shooter, and this pistol just feels great in my hand. I have freakish hands: short fingers but a wide span across my palm. The standard backstrap fits my hand perfectly. I can barely get any of my pinky on the pistol grip, using the flush-fitting 11-round mags. My preferred method of concealed carry is pocket carry, and this pistol is the perfect size for it. My GX4 rides in a DeSantis Nemesis (#N38BJE1Z0) pocket holster, in the pocket of my Coleman's canvass utility pants. The pockets on the Coleman's are deep enough with an angle mouth or opening to the pocket. So I get quick access to the pistol with no monkey fist phenomenon going on, a quick, smooth draw and the holster stays put. Even seated, the access to the pistol is good in these pants. So here's my formula for pocket carry: the right pistol + the right pocket holster + the right pants = the right pocket carry.

I love this gun just picked up one for 279 with a 30.00 mail in rebate.

Love the GX4. Think it's the best model of all the one's that came after the P365 (the P365 being one of the best deigned handguns ever invented). I think the sheet metal FCU is one of the best features of the GX4. I just wish I knew more about the actual FCU parts/function. Can't find any disassembly videos or any other videos of people working on the parts. Hope that changes soon. (edit: finally found pics. It works like the G2C/G3 models with a back end like a P320 that goes into the FCU).

I went into a shop today to look for 6arc ammo and walked out with this and the ammo. My wife is going to have my guts for garters. I think I will give it to her for Christmas, she talked about getting a carry piece.

Its my EDC!! Love it!!

Was checking a GX4 today. The trigger is really good. Its kinda of like a light and crisp Glock trigger. I think it also beats out the P365 now. The price, trigger alone is much better imo. Still have to try it at the range

I use the 13+1 mag in my GX4 Great pistol Uses Glock sights

There was plenty compact pistols on the market well before the glock 43 and sig 365....if anything with more people carrying guns they just gained more popularity, i was never much into them because most only held 6-7 rds which is kool but me personally i prefer a gun with 8-12 rds

Which sticky holster is that exactly?

Just got a recall notice for my G4. Units made in the US. Can fire if dropped.

I love the gx4 and if they can get the kinks out of the trigger problems some has had they should use the gx4 platform for a full size and compact and give us more than 9mm I want a 40 and 45 Taurus they used to make them but everybody loves the shitty 9mm round now

Link for the leather holster please?

The 3 dot set up seems to be a non issue when everyone takes a sharpie to the rear two dots.

That "stainless steel reinforcing" inside the frame IS the firearm. It's a modular pistol (like a Sig Sauer P-320) where that fire control unit is the serialized part (carries the serial number). There is a window in the back of the slide where the serial number is visible. You could change the grip frame, the slide, etc and it's the same gun as long as the same fire control unit is used inside. The FCU is easily removed. Those memory pads on the side of the frame (for your thumb) are nothing new. A lot of people put some skateboard tape there for just that purpose or include that area in a stipple job on a polymer frame. I see these GX-4 pistols online for $299 all day long right now. They were $330 at the gun show last Saturday.

I've shot both GX4 and P365. My shots are identical but I prefer the GX4 trigger better and it's grip is better, and it's price is way better. I would trust the GX4 but not the P365 with all it's past problem filled history. So far I haven't heard about any broken strikers or triggers with the GX4 like the P365 had. But I like the Hellcat more than the GX4 and the only way I'll carry a G43X is if it has the S15 round mags.

Love mine

THIAS GUN HAS A DROP FIRE RECALL???

You could put a 13rd GX4 magazine with a pinky rest.

Which Tagua holster model did you get to fit your GX4? Don't see one specific for the GX4. Thanks.

Anyone have issues out of the gates with the GX4? I took my brand new GX4 to the range yesterday and it jammed up on my four different times and issues with the bullet going into the chamber. The range buy said the gun should be cleaned and lubed prior to use. I have never had that issue with any gun including my "POS" Hi Point. Any advice is appreciated.

Haven't shot, let alone cleaned mine yet... But, the mag release has been, hit on accident and by me and just random things like the door cubby in my truck... This absolutely needs fixed, changed

Bimart sells these for $298.00... but they are only in Wa,Or and Id.

Would love to see you do a review on the p320 xcompact

Got one for 241.00. Plus rebate. Is awesome

Anyone still wanna bad mouth Taurus or give them their props. They make quality firearms for affordable prices and is looked down on.

I have one & you can put glock nightsight on it because I have

I just purchased a new GX4. It immediately had trigger reset issues. Basically a dead trigger every 20 rounds or so. The customer service rep said that "it was common with the GX4" Otherwise it shot well.

The GX4 is a nice little edc. The video started to sound like rambling after the 10 minute mark. Otherwise, good stuff.

Good quality reliable guns TAURUS.

Have you heard about the "delay fire" with the trigger? Do you know if Taurus had fixed this trigger issue? Was just about to buy one. But, very worried about any issues with a gun that I will be carrying. Thank you for the great review.

If only they'd make one with a 3.7 barrel AND a 15 round grip like the Hellcat Pro, I'd buy it because it's curved grip angle fits my hand better.

Got my gx4 four months ago still not shot it

I have been carrying a micro compact for 50 years. Probably why I am so lonely

Glock 43 introduced 2015. Sig P938 introduced 2011. Maybe that was the kickoff of the micro 9 mm for me, or the P238 in 2009, or the Ruger LCP in 2008. Finally the LC9 in 2011. If you’re talking polymers. Glock doesn’t innovate they just play catch-up. Kinda remind me of Harley.

I disagree 2 magazines in the box are enough. It should be 3.

Get review 👍

I just don’t think the price makes it worth it, spend a little more and you can buy better brands with better customer service when it comes to lifetime warranties etc etc

Na Shield started it

trigger is way too heavy for a micro

Did you record this against the back of Trump's head?

Boring
