#arfcom #taurus #gx4carry #review - Zábava
After getting and trading away multiple carry guns, I ultimately settled with the Gx4. Great trigger, size, weight, and price. Got a holster and Vortex defender all under $475. Great set up on a budget
How many rounds do you have through it? Any issues?
@ARFCOMReviews 500 FMJs and about 100 HP's only issue was a dud round from Ammo Inc. Biggest flaw of the Gx4 is no pic rail. However Taurus's website has sales like 20% off everything and spare parts are cheap and can buy pinky extension mag to get a full grip. Bestest flaw in my set up is the Vortex defender ccw.
Good to know! Plus, the GX4 carry fixes both complaints you mentioned
oh man we're the same. I literally had every micro carry 9mm, traded and sold them all. Settled on the gx4 carry. Sweet pistol, and probably the best shooting gun i've owned.
Gunshop in town wanted $425 for one so I drove an extra 40 miles and got it for $329. Fits my hand better than any other pistol.
That's a great deal! The gun is everything the 365 Macro is for half the price
GX4 with a 13 round mag gives you plenty of room for all 4 fingers solving that problem. Its a reliable easy to shoot, easy to conceal pistol and my edc.
definitely felt nice in the hand!
My state only allows 8 round magazines 😞
I like the take down on the Taurus, you can use a shell casing to break the gun down so a separate tool is not needed ( Hopefully you have ammo with you )
I'm just spoiled and used to not needing anything but my fingers to take down a pistol. It's not a bad feature, I subjectively don't like it.
I've heard nothing but GREAT things about this little gun so I went and ordered one. Can't wait to get it!
I think you're going to be very happy with your purchase 😁
I believe extending the grip and getting rid of that potential irritating gap of an extended mag is the new..Great..thing, imo. Just wish Taurus had a better finish on the slides but maybe that's how they keep some cost down?
No one likes a mag gap
Thank you guys.
Thank you!
As a owner of the standard GX4 T.O.R.O, the Hellcat Pro, as well as others in this class, I look forward to adding this to the collection and rotation. I had a feeling that it was coming.
Everybody does seem to want to remake the same versions or the same guns 😂
Recently switched from G3C to GX4 for EDC. I have the original GX4. I do use the pinky extension on the magazine. So far so good. I'm surprised how accurate it is for a micro pistol.
We had a very good experience with our GX4 and I stand my it being a capable pistol, even out past usual pistol distances with a capable shooter!
This gun is amazing! Shoots flat, great trigger, great magazines and capacity. All around a phenomenal firearm and a solid member of my EDC collection. BTW the take down can be completed with a empty 9mm shell at the range on the fly.
That makes so much sense on the take down 😅 I feel dumb for not trying it! It's a solid shooter!
Great job for Taurus, great video
Thanks for the feedback and support!
Absent but not forgotten is Josh from OnlyCops! Great review!
Wait... Josh is from OnlyCops?!? Why didn't anyone say anything!!!!
Just picked one up from Scheel's this weekend. Overall decent gun. Only had the "automatic " slam close with the slide happen ones. Don't really like the exposed return trigger spring.
Let us know how it holds up over time and more range trips! It's these kind of commente that get me excited about this type of content 😊
I shot the regular size P365 and was surprised on how well it shot. Then I had a separate opportunity to shoot a M&P Shield Plus and liked it even better. I though that by adding a small amount of extra length on the barrel made it feel better while shooting it. Then I figured I might as well just stick with my regular 4 inch compact pistol and lose the extra weight and girth around my mid section.
Find what works for you and train train train!
I have a gx4 and p365x. The gx4 trigger is much heavier, but feels crisper because after the wall, the force drops abruptly and so it feels like it is crisp. The p365x has like 4mm of constant force creep travel after the 'wall', but since its so much lighter and the frame isnt so squared off at the back, I still shoot the sig better.
Totally get where you’re coming from. A lot of us in the office carry 365s so we are very accustomed to the Sig trigger
Taurus: Please make a 380 ACP version of the GX4 Carry for those of us with physical issues that cannot handle the recoil of the 9mm . Thanks for listening.
Thanks for the comment!
Great video, guys. Stay safe and God Bless..
You as well!
Takedown: the rear of a bullet casing can be used to field strip the GX4 line. I think it is the most intuitive and easiest. My unit during reassembly it should lock in to place automatically. However, my unit does not. Or at least I am not doing it correctly.
We didn't consider using a spare round. Next time I am in the studio I will try that out
I have one of the first ones and I have not had any problems with my at all I think it carries good
We were really impressed with ours! If your experience is anything like what we had it will be a great pistol for you!
Great review
Thank you!
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
My pt111 G2 has the pinky extension on the mag, and it's never caused a single malfunction.
It's incredibly unlikely that it will happen, but it can under the right circumstances.
I use the Sig P226 big boy mags in my PT111 G2 with XD sleeves attached. Looks like it came from the factory that way.
Dimensionally nearly identical to my Hellcat Pro but my original GX4 surprisingly shoots more accurately with it's superior trigger, sights, and grip angle for $200 less.
Yeah, it's definitely a heart breaker for the performance it provides at a ridiculous price.
I love the grip that swell is really nice .
feels real nice in the hand
Excellent job Taurus,you’d absolutely kill the 365 if we could get the slide comp GX4 carry???
Now THAT would be cool
Getting mine today ordered from buds. Coming from a Walther pdp compact because that wasn’t comfortable to carry.
This will serve you pretty well I think!
This video will never have as many likes as were spoken in the video.
🤣🤣🤣 I need to do a count to compare
Get a box of blanks and you can drop test safely all day long.
Looks like a great little pistol, ordered one of your link (nice discount) should be here next week.
They need to make snap caps with a hit indicator on the primer.
I'm glad we were able to save you a bit of doll hairs! I hope your pistol treats you well!
It's a nice pistol. I expected it to be a little smaller than it is, but that's ok. It's just a tad lighter than my Glock 19, and just a bit thinner. Only issue at all so far is good freaking luck trying to find a holster for it. In time I guess...
@@ARFCOMReviewsThere’s a discount link???
You guys would recommend the carry for a edc beginner? Thanks for the review!
I think this is a great choice for EDC! This, the Smith & Wesson sheild plus, and the Sig p365 are all pretty comparable to this pistol 😁 I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
I’d love for Taurus to hear us all say that the takedown key on this is stupid and they should have an after market replacement take down pin that you don’t need a key for.
I'm glad we contributed 😁
It's size matches my Hellcat Pro but with superior trigger, grip angle, and sights. Wish it came out earlier and I could've saved $200.
It's really not stupid because there is nothing protruding from the frame and it is captured so there's no pin to remove which could get lost like on Ruger models, and you can turn it with the rim of a 9mm case so you don't need a separate tool... I bought one a few months ago and think it's probably the best micro 9 mm on the market when all things are considered.
Personally I don't understand what the big deal is I actually like it it's very easy you don't need anything special you can do with a coin. It's very smooth.
@@propdoctor21564Ruger pins are much more of a pain in the butt than this this is much smoother design! Personally I don't see a problem.
Love the Gx4 Carry EDC
It is a pretty sweet pistol!
Gotta say guys. This is a better gun than your review gives it credit for.
I've got a bunch of more expensive options in my collection and this is as good as any of them. In fact it's been 100% reliable, is regularly available for 350 to 375 bucks and has the same capacity as a G19, Hellcat Pro, etc.
I wouldn't buy a Sig macro for 649 over the GX4c any day of the week.
I definitely think it punches WAY above it's weight class especially for the cost. Its got all the features you would want in a pistol and has great ergos to boot! I have suggested it multiple times since the review.
Love TAURUS good quality reliable guns innovative company
happy you're happy!
I ordered one but not to carry. I have the standard GX4 but also not for carry. I carry the standard P365. If it came to needing to send the P365 in for repair for some reason, I would carry the GX4. On both the P365 and the GX4 I can get my pinky 3/4 of the way on the grip without any sort of extension. I ordered the GX4 Carry for funzies. Maybe OWB when I'm camping or something. But definitely not for concealed carry. I need to keep the overall size super small being 5'10" and 130lbs.
I respect a dude that has a backup carry gun! I only have a full size (G17) and a compact (Gen1 S&W sheild) as my ccw guns. The GX4 is a really solid handgun and you're far from under armed when you have to carry it!
I’ve used my pocket knife on my gx4 TORO countless times it’s not too bad. Great weapon after 250
Great feedback! Thank you for the comment!
I love Taurus and the gx4 I wish the take down was the two tabs like the others
Yeah man, the GXR carry is a great handgun by our experience. Fortunately you can use a 9mm casing to turn the take down screw
Taurus has stepped up their game since the pt111 millennium g2. Ever since there is no reason to spend ridiculous amounts of money or a glockenspiel or kimber.
I definitely agree that they have been making much better products as of late, but Glocks are just more consistently reliable (fewer lemons) and more compatible with holsters/other accessories. I did really like the GX4, but it's not replacing my glock.
U can use a shell casing to takedown the gx4 a a key on yoyr key ring or even a pocket knife.
You can, but it’s still way less convenient that other takedown methods.
The SIG P365 SAS also requires a key for takedown. I've never talked to someone who likes that a gun requires a tool for takedown.
Yep yep! Super annoying
Just get a Teir One MSP holster for your light and the host pistol has a hoster. Done, boom!!
Do they make an MSP holster for the TRL-7?
Does the GX4 Carry Magazines fit in the GX4? Most desirable question.
We don’t have a GX4 to confirm, but it should work
@@ARFCOMReviews 1Love
Between the P35 x macro and the Taurus gx4 carry which of the two has less recoil.
They are about the same. The p365 has a lot more industry support in the form of holsters and accessories, but the base guns are much closer than the price tag would lead you to believe.
Very good
Thanks brother!
I saw the GX4 carry, think thats what i'll get.
It is a pretty rock solid gun
This posted a while back. I paid $388 for the Taurus GX4 Carry. This is late Feb 2024.
That is an incredible deal!
@@ARFCOMReviews and the TORO version at that. I got mine from Buds guns. Grabagun has it for around the same price.
Arfcommers do the best real-world reviews. Keep up the good work losers
Thanks! We're just well-armed children trying to find our place on CZcams 😂
Josh “Money Bags” OnlyCops 😂
🤑🤑🤑
Nabbed the "regular" micro. For the price it is unbeatable.
Optics cut version was 340 bux
Where'd you find it for 340?!
KYGUNCO. Live in KY
Got a vedder holster for it. Fits perfect with the 507k
Taurus needs a full size and compact polymer 10mm
That would be wild 🤣
I carry a multi tool so take down would not be an issue
Still an annoyance that other pistols dont have.... worse than S&W with the internal takedown safety
The holsters is always the big issue. It’s what keeps me from the Gx4. Wanted one. But I only run high and tight OWB minimalist holster designed.
If it sells as well as I think it might we should see some holsters come out for it soon!
The holster for my Tx22 compact works for my G4 carry.
Good truck gun . The light on the gun is almost the cost of the gun 😅😅
You're not wrong 🤣🤣🤣
Do the 15 round mags fit the gx4
We don't have a gx4 to confirm, but I would be shocked if they didnt. Especially because the gx4XL mags fit the gx4
Same mags different base plates .. And springs ... Its what's I was told
makes sense
ok guys, i know you're all younger than i am BUT LIKE how many LIKE times can LIKE you LIKE say "LIKE" in LIKE a LIKE 2 min. LIKE conversation? Just sayin.
frfr no cap
@@ARFCOMReviews so I also don’t speak text too well.
where can i get the metallica tee?????
Coming very soon to a web store near you!
Is the back of the frame as squared off as the GX4? That really aggravatea my thumb joint.
Did you notice the chamber was loose? I'm seeing expanded/swollen cases out of my GX4.
Unfortunately we do not have a GX4 to compare it to

At the time of this comment buds is selling the toro version for sub 400 doll hairs, mine comes in on Monday to my LGS
That is a steal!
Like, Like, Like, Like, Like. LOL

There's no way anyone paying 500-450 ..379$ ok now I'm into it ..paid what 299 for the gx4xl and was a great deal
Hard to say because most online retailers havent dropped them yet, but im seeming sub $400 prices
Paid 307$ for mine in Dec at a shop ..so I think there 299 almost everywhere on gun deals now ..but I hear ya ..I love the gun and the lakeline LLC ported barrel crushs so its over 600 after the mags a 149$ CT rad pro and barrel ..but I carry this as much as my canik mc9 I also just ordered the PSA micro after your review tonight ..thanks

@@ARFCOMReviews you Earned yourself a Subscription my man's 🥂❤️
Welcome to the -shit show- party
Thumbs up good video guys, I myself own a G4X and i have no issues this new carry gun is on my list to buy soon. Thanks for the content.
Correction GX4
Taurus refuses to call the gx4 safety notice a recall. Its a safety notice 😂
😅
FOR PEOPLE WHO BASH OTHER GUN MANUFACTURERS….. Just look at SIG..... 7 warnings... no real recalls.. but they always get a pass with the P320 and P365 problems.
I did my research before I bought my weapon. I read the bad and the good. A lot of what I saw was unsubstantiated BS that was not based on fact. Some was but I found that the most every manufacturer has its problems. Here is a partial list up to 8/2003. (my point is, all the majors are on the list.)
>Beretta - 1 recall
>Browning - 9 recalls/1 Warning
>Colt - 5 recalls/2 Warnings
>Glock - 1 recall and 2 Warnings including "All calibers of pistols manufactured between Sept 2001 and May 2002 with s/n's starting with E, GSSF or USA
>Remington - 56 recalls
>Ruger - 6 recalls/7 Warnings
>Savage - 1 recalls/4 Warnings
>Sigarms - 7 Warnings
>Smith & Wesson - 49 recalls/14 Warnings
>Springfield Armory - 3 recalls
>Taurus - 2 recalls/3 Warnings
>Walther - 2 recalls
>Winchester - 6 recalls/1 Warning
This is my source:
Firearm Recalls and Warnings Index on FirearmsID.com
my man did his research
I purchased this for 370$ shipped
That is a SMOKING deal!
I would have no problems with that setup. Polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols aren't exactly rocket science and with very few notable exceptions, I don't know of any that are supposed to be unreliable.
We can think of a few, but thats not what this video is about!
@@ARFCOMReviews Paul looks better on the internet than in person.

Please don't tell him I laughed at that....
How many opps could I stack with it if they run up on me? In minecraft, of course.
🤔🤔🤔
Another guntuber wasted around $800 on a sig tacops, dead trigger after about a hundred rounds. Man, ya pay that much and have to send it back. What a bummer
Another DUH HUH review
Didn’t try the 15rd in a GX4
😂😂😂
We don't have a GX4 in studio, but if you want to send us one, we'll be happy to record a whole new video just for you 😘
Looks like it compares to a glock 43x
Well that just double the capacity
They're selling for $400
Just posted a sub 400 deal to the Deals Page!
This will sell well everyone owns a gx4 it seems i see so many on facebook groups and youtube
There is definitely a market for it
I have 2 GX4 pistols and I love them! Great triggers, reliable and no😢on any recalls! I was carrying one till I replaced it with a Masada Slim ! Taurus service department is pure crap though! Just throwing that out there lol !
good to know 😅
There customer service was fine for my G3XL lemon. :)
@@JustinDavito I tried to upgrade my G3C with the TORO slide and the optic plate screws were frozen to the point where the wrench twisted and was unusable! They refused to send a replacement slide and refunded the money after I sent it back to them. I asked them to free up the screws and again they refused and said that they couldn’t send a replacement slide either! Sorry! They were BS ! The Taurus guns I have are for sale now!
@@jameslalley3787 oh man. So sorry to hear that. I would try and talk to a supervisor. I had to eventually speak with some specialist after the gun was still having issues after the 3 attempt at a repair.
I tested 5 different GX4 guns, and if a bit of right-to-left pressure was put on the trigger while firing, the gun would fail to reset. 4 did it for me, 1 didn't; however, when I told the worker what I was testing for, he tried it, and it failed for him (maybe he pressed harder). I learned about this issue online, but haven't seen much on YT.
Anyone know if Taurus ever addressed this?
Interesting, first I’m hearing about it. We didn’t have any issues with trigger resets and shot 100s of rounds through it. Also lots of trigger ghosting.
@@ARFCOMReviews I don't think most people would notice because you have to really TRY to press it left to right as you pull the trigger. However, I could see it happening in a bad situation on accident. I was just wondering if Taurus addressed it (since it had been mentioned online).
This sucks i should of waited the gx4 xl i bought last year only has 13 rounds now they make 15 round why couldnt they do this in the first place
Bro this is the story of my life 😅
I've been eyeing this gun but I don't trust Taurus to be honest
This gun feels so much better in the hand then legacy Taurus products. The build quality is on par with the p365. I would say that the M&P sheild plus does feel better made than all of the above, but all of that is subject
We are not in a recession. 2022 and 2023 are not recession years . We are in a time of inflation but not recession. Get yr economic facts right gentlemen. Just dont “say” stuff to justify the purchase .
*money is worth less than before*
The takedown system is way better than Ruger's max 9..and lc9s...and ec9...and lcp. Ruger totally failed to innovate their take down style. Still have to remove a pin...and if you lose the pin you're screwed. What an awful takedown system! Doesn't ruger listen to their customers. Man i've had a few ec9s pistols and lc9's. They all had malfunctions even with the best ammo. It's ashame. Srry for the rant

I used to be dirt poor, and had to figure out how to make top Ramen and pinto beans interesting (and cheap)
I'm not rich, but I'm no longer on the Nissin only meal plan. Taurus feels like a step back to those times.
Not to mention Taurus' track record for poor QC control l, this would be a hard pass for me.
Definitely not for everyone, especially if you have the means to buy a more popular firearms. But if this came out back in the day, would you consider it?
Taurus has come a long way in their QC dept. I have the GX4, G3C, G3 and I also had the G2C sold it I didn’t like the trigger . Are you going to get 10k rounds through it without an issue (most likely not?) but, how many people are going to put that many rounds through any gun in a lifetime. If your on a budget and need a self defense gun this is a good choice. Having a gun for self defense is better than not having one at all.
