I bought a new GX4 several months back and like you, immediately started comparing it to my Sig P365. I like the Taurus GX4 better and can shoot it more accurately than my Sig. On my P365 my support hand thumb keeps running into the takedown lever which doesnt exist on the Taurus. Also the slide on the Taurus is much easier to rack on my P365. I came across a barely used GX4 last week at a great price and bought it too. So Ive now got two and between the two Ive got less invested in them than the Sig P365. Great gun, great video and review 👍
I have a number of the Micro 9's to include the Sig 365. Never owned a Taurus in 40 decades of shooting. Not that I owned any, just never had the inclination to buy one. Then my club invited me and 4 other to test the GX4. My God, we were all sold. This gun is not rated one of the top on the market and rightly so. Taurus seems to have looked and studied all the Micro's out there and combined them into this gun. I obviously bought one after testing and have since put 1,000 rds of ammo through it with not one single issue. And it shoots so much better than my 365, feels better in my hand, like the grip texture better, the balance better etc. I put a Glock style night sight on it and it is rocking. Thanks for the great review. Taurus really stepped up to the Plate with the GX4.
I agree. In every video I have done of a micro 9 since this one, I have brought the GX4 out for comparison. In every instance, the Taurus was better I believe except for maybe the Kimber R7 Mako. However, the Mako is a slightly larger and heavier gun.
I really enjoy my GX4 and it has been 100% trouble free. The biggest surprise I had with the GX4 was how easy the recoil impulse was to control. I'm not recoil sensitive at all, but the GX4 is as easy to shoot as many larger pistols. I find myself shooting it more for enjoyment than I do my full size pistols.
You are absolutely right. It is an easy shooting pistol to be so small. I don't know if you saw my video on the Glock 43X, but I compared it to several guns. including the GX4. When I shot the GX4 again in that video I was blown away all over again. I had to stop myself from gushing over the GX4 in order to get back to talking about the subject of the video.
@@Preacher357, I hadn't seen that video but I totally understand. As a content maker you have to stay focused on the primary subject matter. And sometimes it's hard to do. I've had to redo multiple videos for that exact reason.
This is fact which I hear again and again and now from you. That is pretty nice! I like this fact, like this gun so much. I think one of the best choice in this class.
Congratulations on the content of your channel. I live in Brazil (Taurusland) and recently bought this spectacular Taurus GX4. The portability, the design and the incredible ammunition capacity (13+1) with the extended magazine make this little gem an excellent experience. Thanks for your video. Greetings from Brazil.
And hello to you from Tennessee. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it and hope everything is well in Brazil. I was glad to hear that your government had starting allowing more freedom to own guns over the last few years. Stay safe and God bless.
@@carmenohio8735 Hello, thanks to our President Bolsonaro, we can now practice shooting sports as regular athletes, and we have our traffic carry guaranteed. We still don't have the right to bear arms freely as in America, only on the way between our homes and our shooting club, but we have already improved our freedom by 10000%. Inside our homes and workplaces we can have weapons for defense and the gun culture has gained a lot of space in the last three years in Brazil. Our fight is long and just. We will win!
@@degustolanders That’s Awesome! There’s still some states in America that have less gun freedoms than you have now, even though we’re guaranteed those rights. I hope things keep progressing for you
Love this video! I have a GX4 and have carried it for about 6 mo. I changed from a S&W M&P 9C due to the size and weight of the GX4. I've ran about 500 rnds so far and had no issues at all. I really like the GX4. From one Tennessean to another, Thank You and keep up the good work! BTW you just got a new subscriber,
Thanks. I appreciate it. I used to carry the M&P40C, but switched to the Sig P365 several months ago. I have seriously been considering changing to the GX4. I plan on doing a 1000 round review of it some time in the near future as well. Thanks for watching.
I know this is a older video, but I just picked up the GX4 from Academy with 2 x 11 round mags, and 2 x 13 round mags for 302.00 out the door. That's 4 mags and a 9mm for 300.00. I haven't shot it yet. I do like my night sights on my p365. Thanks for your video.
I just bought my 2nd GX4! My first one has a Veridian green laser mounted on it and the new one has Crimson Trace red dot! I carry them and trust them to fire every single time! I own the P365 but find it a recoil nightmare compared to the X4 ! Same caliber but the X4’s are a nicer pistol to handle for me!
Excellent video. I just bought a Gx4 only have about 200 rounds through it. But I find it easier to shoot than my shield 2.0. To this point I have had no failures of any kind I’m plum tickled.
Ive had my GX4 for two months now and put nearly 500 rounds through it without a problem. A very solid feeling gun. Taurus really hit it out of the park with this one. And a sub $400 gun to boot. Enjoyed the video. Happy shooting
I was flabbergasted too when I first used this wonderful firearm at a local range after purchase because I usually fill the whole target with holes but not with this gun. Very nice groupings achieved straight from the box. Bravo Taurus!5
I shot it again a couple of days ago while I had a Glock 43X on the range for testing and was still amazed at how well it shot. Of the 4 guns I had out on the range that day, including a Glock 19, it was without a doubt the best shooting of the bunch.
Remember Preacher that the old folks used to say, and I believe it's still true, "don't be the guy on which the first of the brand new is tried, nor the last to set the old aside." Sig has already worked the bugs out of their gun, but we know the GX4 will have some and it's brand new. I'd let the other guy go with the newest of the new. Both guns shoot very well. Wish I were able to come shoot them with you and render a personal opinion. Thanks for all the video's you make so guys like me who can't go shoot anymore can get a view on these.
Wise words for sure. My hope is that the GX4 proves to be as reliable as the Taurus G series has been. If that is the case then Taurus definitely has a winner with the GX4. I was very impressed with it.
@@Preacher357 Most of us, even those able to shoot like you and no longer me, are not going to shoot ammo by the Pallett like our friend in Camden. It's capability should be adequate for someone like us.
Man, I'm Brazilian, don't have your English grammar skills, but here we have almost only TAURUS, for long time as our only option for home, and self defense Brand. and they did some projects, especially the first ones in polymer, VERY bad, we here in Brazil did not trust these projects either, many police officers died due to failures in the millennium projects that were sold to police forces in some Brazilian states. But lately, I've been proud of this national brand, the g2c, g3, and this gx4 are really good.... AWESOME I also have some of their "Berettas", the PT58 and PT938, and I don't sell them for anything
I've had one for two weeks now. My last three gun purchases were also Taurus and I was happy with them. The only change I made to my GX4 was to order the magazine extension to give be a place to put my pinky. It also offers 2 more rounds because of the extension. It is my EDC now.
Just took delivery of the TORO optics ready version. Fits my hand great. I’ve got an Ameriglo front sight on order from Taurus and a compensated barrel from Lakeline LLC. Plan on it being my summer EDC. Taurus has really stepped up their game imho
I just shot a G2C in 40 that belongs to my cousin this past weekend. I was hoping to be able to do a video with it, but did not have time. I was nit overly fond if the trigger. It breaks really far back. I like the GX4 much better.
Do you like the GX4 better than your G2C? i have a G2C and really like it .. i have had zero issues with it and can carry and shoot it well, i trust my life with it. Just wondered how you compared the two, thanks
It remains to be seen whether I will switch or not. I will need to do some more testing and get more rounds through it. If it remains failure free, I very well may decide to switch. I really like the GX4.
It's a breath of fresh air to find someone with a brain that seems to work like mine. 🤣 That aside, you've got something good started here in this channel and you have a new subscriber.
I have done reviews of both. I am a huge fan of Smith and Wesson, but if I had to choose between the CSX and the GX4, I would choose the Taurus without question. I am not saying that is what you should do. Try them both out and see which you like; but if it were me it would be the GX4.
Taurus really cleaned up their game, I currently have and love my G3C. I shoot the shit out of it and I have not had any problems. Shoots all the ammo I feed it. Great "Truck Gun" I look forward to getting the GX4!
G2, G2C, G3C, G3, GX4 have all proven to be reliable for the majority. Model 85 and 856 Revolvers as well. Honestly I've had more issues out of Ruger in recent years.
I should have a video on the G3C up tonight. I was pretty impressed with it as well. I think I liked it better than the G2C. I think the trigger is a little better on the G3C, at least the one I have. But I have not had a single failure yet with any of the newer Taurus guns I have tried.
Its nice to know I saved a few bucks by investing in the GX4 and not purchasing the sig 365. Even though when it comes to AR I do like the m400 Tread it's worth the extra money..
I think I heard someone else complaining of the same thing in a Facebook group. Hopefully it is just a matter of replacing that plate to rectify the problem.
@@Preacher357 I talked Taurus this morning. Sending it back to them today. Hopefully they’ll get it fixed up but I’m not certain that I’ll trust it for carry after this.
@@tsomers01 I understand. Maybe if it runs flawlessly for a good while after you get it back you might regain faith in it. Then again maybe not. Once you have problems with a gun it definitely sticks with you.
YT’ber Beyond Seclusion ran 2,000 rounds through a new Gx4 in one day. Without cleaning it. Had 4 failures to eject. 2 towards the end of quality ammo and 2 during the last 100 rounds of Tula steel case. Not bad.
I've owned 140 guns in the last 10 years, and I don't remember any that required a 6:00 hold. Why do some reviewers mention that? Or, do I always shoot low? That's possible. I probably shoot less than 5% of what a lot of these guys do. But, when I go to the range I usually take 5 guns and I think I would be able to tell if one of them was shooting high.
Guns are all over the place for me. Some shoot high, some low, some left, some right. Of course, you can usually adjust for windage, but not always for elevation. We all see sights differently though.
@@Preacher357 I almost always shoot low left with 3” barrels. I’m 74 years old with arthritic hands and not strong enough to keep the gun from moving when I pull the trigger. I have to put the front sight in the right edge of the rear U.
I just looked at one yesterday. They look nice, but appear to be standard single stacks with lower capacity. I am afraid that is going to hurt them in the marketplace. I will try to get my hands on one to test.
Try this link:. www.taurususa.com/pistols/taurus-gx4 . They have been readily available in this area. I think I bought the one I reviewed at our local Academy.
I ended up getting some Tru-Glo for a Glock 43 to test to see if they would work on the Taurus. They did. I made an #short showing that. I will be making a 1000 round follow up review on this gun hopefully within the next week or so.
Really honest review. We can see you are struggling to decide which is a better gun to shoot with. You seem to like the Sig brand better, but prefer the GX4 gun. There’s so many biased : paid review out there. Which I believe it’s now your case sir. Is this gun the one Taurus made out of graphene ?
Thanks. I promise no one is paying me for any reviews. Also, it wasn't that I liked the Sig brand so much as that the P365 had a longer track record and a lot of the bugs had already been worked out. The longer I have had and shot the GX4 the more I have liked it. The only reason I am still carrying the Sig over the GX4 is the sights. The Sig has a large bright night sight on it. The sights on the Taurus are fine, but only in good lighting. I struggle to see them when there is less light. I am planning to put night sights on the GX4, though. Once that happens it will probably be my carry gun, replacing the Sig. This model that I have is not the Graphene. I don't believe that version is available in the US yet.
@@Preacher357 I got your point. I am Brazilian , living in Montreal, and a follow Taurus closely (therefore I am biased..) They released the graphene version in Brazil 2 months ago. Sold out in 48h. The polymer is made with graphene so is the coating of the metal parts. They developed the technology with a Brazilian university. Hence, they have one year worldwide exclusivity rights for the graphene coating. Else, the carrying box is made with graphene too. They will be releasing a a graphene holster soon. It should give a scratch-free experience. BTW if one can reach such a small target at 20 feet with a micro gun like you did, who need a full size pistol? Keep up with the good job. You got yourself a new subscriber. Merci beaucoup!
I have both & I'm here to tell you the 365 & the hellcat are both made better than the gx4 in my opinion for what its worth my gx4 rear sights are off to one side
I would agree with that, but the GX4 proved to be very reliable and durable. In my testing. Therefore, even though I think the Sig and Springfield might be better quality overall, I don't think it is enough of an improvement to be worth nearly twice the price. With that said, the Sig is my carry gun and the GX4 I sold to a friend.
I don't have that problem with the GX4, but there are some that do. The 12 round extended mag for the Sig p365 pinches me sometimes. I don't particularly like it. I rarely use it as a result.
Are you having the failure to reset the trigger and slide into battery which leads to accident discharge of round lot of others are having? there more videos of problems this gun has than praise. And how Taurus is refusing to fix and not acknowledge the problems. Which makes me just keep my old kahr cm9 as my main micro 9mm Videos of serious problems this gun has> th-cam.com/video/Lxb3RAyxT0Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/SnBIGun6Fm0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7eI6yV3f4TE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OIDLnnxufeY/w-d-xo.html
See, this is the problem here.....You listed 4 videos documenting problems with the GX4 trigger system. But you didn't list the hundreds of videos with no issues at all. You also didn't list videos showcasing the problems the P365 had upon release. Which were much, much more wide spread. What about all the issues that literally every other firearms manufacturer in history has had? You didn't list any of those videos. So what is the standard of comparison? The problem is people focus on Taurus issues because it's cool to do. While totally ignoring that all firearms manufacturers have issues as well. There is no standard of comparison exercised. Just because people love to bash Taurus while ignoring other manufacturers issues. In the last three years I have fired over 10,000 documented trouble free rounds through my Taurus firearms. Over 10,000 rounds with zero failures of any kind. So who or what am I supposed to believe? The 4 videos you listed, or the 10,000 rounds I have personally fired with zero malfunctions?
So far I have not had any malfunctions with the gun at all that I can remember. I have only had it on the range probably 3 times so far. I am hoping to be able to put some more time in with it and maybe do a follow up video around the 1000 round mark to detail what I have seen. I just have not had the time lately, unfortunately.
I don’t like that people can’t accept that Taurus has good guns lately when they have trouble with a Taurus they blame the gun and when they have trouble with a expensive gun they blame the ammo
Mine had a trigger issue. I called taurus, the customer service was great. They sent me a shipping label and I sent it to them, they paid for everything. Wait time was 4 weeks, I got it back in 2. Overall not a bad experience.
So far I have to disagree. I have yet to find a gun in it's class that is a better shooter and I have yet to have a single failure. I have not got enough rounds through it yet to speak to the long term durability, but so far it seems solid. As soon as I get 1000 rounds through it I will do a follow up video.

I probably shoot less than 5% of what a lot of these guys do. But, when I go to the range I usually take 5 guns and I think I would be able to tell if one of them was shooting high.
Guns are all over the place for me. Some shoot high, some low, some left, some right. Of course, you can usually adjust for windage, but not always for elevation. We all see sights differently though.
@@Preacher357 I almost always shoot low left with 3” barrels. I’m 74 years old with arthritic hands and not strong enough to keep the gun from moving when I pull the trigger. I have to put the front sight in the right edge of the rear U.
@@sycamorebacker1 whatever works. As long as you can hit your target, that is all that matters.
Ck out the Savage Stance Thanks
I just looked at one yesterday. They look nice, but appear to be standard single stacks with lower capacity. I am afraid that is going to hurt them in the marketplace. I will try to get my hands on one to test.
Where can I purchase one? They are not on the Taurus website.
Try this link:. www.taurususa.com/pistols/taurus-gx4 . They have been readily available in this area. I think I bought the one I reviewed at our local Academy.
you can get the ameriglo front night sight from Taurus for $30 so it is very affordable for budget carry.
I ended up getting some Tru-Glo for a Glock 43 to test to see if they would work on the Taurus. They did. I made an #short showing that. I will be making a 1000 round follow up review on this gun hopefully within the next week or so.
Really honest review. We can see you are struggling to decide which is a better gun to shoot with. You seem to like the Sig brand better, but prefer the GX4 gun. There’s so many biased : paid review out there. Which I believe it’s now your case sir. Is this gun the one Taurus made out of graphene ?
Thanks. I promise no one is paying me for any reviews. Also, it wasn't that I liked the Sig brand so much as that the P365 had a longer track record and a lot of the bugs had already been worked out. The longer I have had and shot the GX4 the more I have liked it. The only reason I am still carrying the Sig over the GX4 is the sights. The Sig has a large bright night sight on it. The sights on the Taurus are fine, but only in good lighting. I struggle to see them when there is less light. I am planning to put night sights on the GX4, though. Once that happens it will probably be my carry gun, replacing the Sig. This model that I have is not the Graphene. I don't believe that version is available in the US yet.
@@Preacher357 I got your point. I am Brazilian , living in Montreal, and a follow Taurus closely (therefore I am biased..) They released the graphene version in Brazil 2 months ago. Sold out in 48h. The polymer is made with graphene so is the coating of the metal parts. They developed the technology with a Brazilian university. Hence, they have one year worldwide exclusivity rights for the graphene coating. Else, the carrying box is made with graphene too. They will be releasing a a graphene holster soon. It should give a scratch-free experience. BTW if one can reach such a small target at 20 feet with a micro gun like you did, who need a full size pistol? Keep up with the good job. You got yourself a new subscriber. Merci beaucoup!
Great video…I must say that the accuracy surprised me.
Me as well. I think you could see my shock in the video. I was not expecting that from such a small gun.
I have both & I'm here to tell you the 365 & the hellcat are both made better than the gx4 in my opinion for what its worth my gx4 rear sights are off to one side
I would agree with that, but the GX4 proved to be very reliable and durable. In my testing. Therefore, even though I think the Sig and Springfield might be better quality overall, I don't think it is enough of an improvement to be worth nearly twice the price. With that said, the Sig is my carry gun and the GX4 I sold to a friend.
Good shooting!
Dang extended mag pinches my finger.
I don't have that problem with the GX4, but there are some that do. The 12 round extended mag for the Sig p365 pinches me sometimes. I don't particularly like it. I rarely use it as a result.
Very good!
Thank you. It is a great little gun.
I’m gonna say if they haven’t put out a bad design in a decade. Then they no longer deserve a bad rap.
I agree; but a bad reputation can be a very hard thing to shake.
Nice intro music
Thanks. I was going for something simple that was sort of video game sounding.
Rear sight can not be adjusted for elevation and taurus does NOT HONOR their rebate . Shame on taurus. Will stay with ruger
Are you having the failure to reset the trigger and slide into battery which leads to accident discharge of round lot of others are having? there more videos of problems this gun has than praise. And how Taurus is refusing to fix and not acknowledge the problems. Which makes me just keep my old kahr cm9 as my main micro 9mm

See, this is the problem here.....You listed 4 videos documenting problems with the GX4 trigger system. But you didn't list the hundreds of videos with no issues at all. You also didn't list videos showcasing the problems the P365 had upon release. Which were much, much more wide spread. What about all the issues that literally every other firearms manufacturer in history has had? You didn't list any of those videos. So what is the standard of comparison?
The problem is people focus on Taurus issues because it's cool to do. While totally ignoring that all firearms manufacturers have issues as well. There is no standard of comparison exercised. Just because people love to bash Taurus while ignoring other manufacturers issues.
In the last three years I have fired over 10,000 documented trouble free rounds through my Taurus firearms. Over 10,000 rounds with zero failures of any kind. So who or what am I supposed to believe? The 4 videos you listed, or the 10,000 rounds I have personally fired with zero malfunctions?
@@BazonBlades I hate Taurus haters. It just kills them to accept the fact that Taurus has hit home runs with all of their latest offerings.
So far I have not had any malfunctions with the gun at all that I can remember. I have only had it on the range probably 3 times so far. I am hoping to be able to put some more time in with it and maybe do a follow up video around the 1000 round mark to detail what I have seen. I just have not had the time lately, unfortunately.
I don’t like that people can’t accept that Taurus has good guns lately when they have trouble with a Taurus they blame the gun and when they have trouble with a expensive gun they blame the ammo
Mine had a trigger issue. I called taurus, the customer service was great. They sent me a shipping label and I sent it to them, they paid for everything. Wait time was 4 weeks, I got it back in 2. Overall not a bad experience.
Yak yak yak
That is what I am best at. I probably should have been a preacher.
It’s junk, The End
So far I have to disagree. I have yet to find a gun in it's class that is a better shooter and I have yet to have a single failure. I have not got enough rounds through it yet to speak to the long term durability, but so far it seems solid. As soon as I get 1000 rounds through it I will do a follow up video.
Your opinion? Yea it is junk.

@@Preacher357You're an upright and good dude who doesn't take himself too seriously. I have cousins in Nashville who we visit pretty often. If you don't mind me asking, whereabouts in TN do you preach? Might have to make a point to swing by... and besides hearing a 3 hr sermon, maybe get rid try out your steel target range! 😉
🎯🤔😏😊👍
@@bvng2345 I preach way over in the Northwest corner of TN.
I've had Ruger revolvers do the same thing lock up after shooting 50 rounds. I must have had all the good Taurus pistols and revolvers, cuz I never had any problems.
