When I purchased my GX4 I honestly never intended for it to make into my EDC rotation. I picked it up BECAUSE it was only $330 dollars, and I thought for the price why not? Turns out after I changed the sights (which are Glock compatible so there’s tons of variety) it’s now one of my favorite EDC’s. My Glock 43X is still my overall favorite, but the GX4 is a close 2nd, and depending on what I’m wearing the GX4 is my go to.
I put the longer lakeline barrel on mine with the stainless recoil spring n surefire striker assembly and the accuracy and reliability has been real impressive
This video has been such a great laugh, watching you miss over and over and make excuse after excuse is the absolute best. Thank you, please make more videos like this
Unfortunately, the GX4 had feeding issue right out of the box for me. In addition, the magazine kept dropping out. It is a good looking pistol. I am going to give it some more time but I don't think it will replace my P365 as my EDC.
My carry lasted one range trip. It locked up and when I took off the slide the plunger and 2 springs feel out. I was at an outdoor range so. Mailed it back to Taurus USA and they fixed it.
I received my GX4 the end of last year and immediately had issues - sent back to Taurus - same issues - sent back and now seemingly working well. The initial issue was that depending on conditions with the trigger (slight push or pull to either side) the sear did not engage at about a 30% fail rate. Since then I have had one light primer strike but all other has fired. The light primer may have been ammo as I was shooting tulla.
I put the Veridian E series Green laser on my X4 and bore sighted it in and I'm dinging plates at 20 yards on in ! This gentleman could use it ! I found that the laser was slightly low on the front sight compared to the bore laser so lining it up put the green on the down side of the front sight ! If the green is on the plate ... Ping! Mine has been flawless with Hp's and FMJ !
With the original sights I was extremely accurate with this gun. That was what initially surprised me so much. However, I decided to try out some Glock night sights to see if they fit and they did...but it changed the point of impact. With the factory sights I was aiming dead on, but with these sights I was having to way high right. That is why I was having so much trouble. I thought about putting the factory sights back on and reshooting the video, but the purpose of the video was the durability and reliability of the gun after 1000 rounds. How well I shot it in this video, therefore, was pretty much irrelevant.
My GX4 was flawless for 800 Rounds or so..Then problems rose their "ugly head". Bullets jamming in the chamber over half of the time. And the Slide not fulling engaging forward As of yesterday, this weapon is on its way back to Taurus...For the third time. While bullet jamming is occurring less another issue has popped up Now the Slide is "acting up" . The Slide automatically engages as a full magazine is inserted.....(without even pressing or touching the slide switch). So far Taurus has replaced the barrel. Replaced magazine spring and adjusted the Slide and spring....... On the positive side, the folks at Taurus' Repair Service have been very professional....
Wasn’t a Taurus fan for a while my spectrum was junk picked up a used g2c for 100 dollars ad no issues fell in love with it so bought a g3 used for 150 same fell I. Lobe reliable and accurate so went out Monday and bought a new gx4 for 275 still havnt shot it yet but I’m sure will be great ow a Taurus fan
I've been carrying the GX4 TORO for around a year nearly every day in a Kydex holster. I've not yet had any failures and the finish is still going strong. I run the Swamp Fox Sentinel on it w/ green dot and Underwood's loading of the Speer Gold Dot for reference
For EDC, at any time I am not going to have more than 11 rounds with me. If I have to have more than that, I was somewhere I should have been smarter not to go. I get the shooting 200 to 300 rounds for practice but I am sure I would clean the gun after that every time. I am interested in the best sights to get for EDC if anyone has a recommendation.
I get what your saying about not carrying a bunch of rounds for edc. I was the same way untill i was leaving for work one morning and there were 3 guys sitting in my wifes car digging throughout her glove box.My point is you just never know what you will run into and the way things are going now days crime will continuously get worse. You figure 3 guys with 11 rounds in a stressful situation and you will be lucky to take all 3 with those 11 rounds.
I have a gx4. I left the factory rear sight on mine but replaced the front with an orange fiberoptic sight. It was a fantastic upgrade and made the pistol exactly what I wanted it to be.
The g3c,tx22 & tx22 COMPACT are all great handguns. The gx4 has a better trigger to it than the g3c with nowhere near the take-up in the trigger. On the feed ramp of the gx4. Sand the leading edge of it. It has a rather sharp edge to it. . After I did that with mine I've had absolutely 0 issues shooting reloads,hollow points,round nose & flat nose
This one was flawless except when very dirty during the 1000 round test and was extremely accurate until I put on the aftermarket Glock sights. I was very impressed with the gun overall. In fact, I have been fairly impressed with all of the Taurus products I have reviewed.
@Preacher357 awesome. I haven't changed any of the sights. Just used blue LOCTITE on the front of my g3c. Running open sights on it. Running the TLR6 on the gx4 & the red dot on my tx22 compact I just got over the weekend.
@@jamesmoore1341 I put some aftermarket Glock 43 night sights on it just as a test to see if the Glock sights actually would fit. They did, but the elevation was way off. I wish I had changed them back out before I did this video, but hindsight is 20/20.
I pay no attention to reviews when the gun isn't properly cleaned and lubed according to the manufacturer. Before first use and whatever is recommended beyond that. If a gun has ANY issues, and the instructions were not followed, the firearm CANNOT be blamed for the issue. That's just dumb. I always clean mine before first use and then after every trip to the range. I don't care if it will or will not function when dirty. Mine are always clean.
So you are saying I should have just stopped shooting at the range to go clean the gun again? If a gun can't make it through an entire range session then I would think that is something that needs to be considered before buying the gun. I have yet to see anyone at a gun store reading the manual before buying it to see how many rounds the manufacturer says it will run before it craps out from being dirty. While it would certainly be out of the ordinary and unadvisable to carry around a firearm for self defense that is filthy from hundreds of rounds being fired, the fact that it can still be reliable in that condition is a testament to the overall reliability of the gun. I can guarantee you that the top tier manufacturers expect their guns to go thousands of rounds without cleaning while still maintaining reliability.
Also, I didn't throw too much flak at the gun about it. I actually sold this gun to a fellow preacher for self defense. If I didn't trust it I would not have done that.
Everything about what you have stated indicates you don't believe a self defense pistol will ever need to be used in anything other than PERFECT conditions 🙄 You'll never get knocked into mud, never trip or be in the rain etc. If the firearm cannot function in very minor dirty conditions then it's probably not super reliable in real world applications
my grandfather was the same way, and in regular life, regular use I agree, but what if you do get in a confrontation and the gun ends up in the dirt? in that moment wouldn't you wnt it to fire and not malfunction? sure, every sqeaky clean 'safe queen' will probably fire. i want to know my gun is reliable in any condition it Might encounter. so let's see what condition(s) will make it mis-fire/mis-behave..that's what testing and reviewing is all about. you say reviews of dirty guns aren't valid, I say reviews of clean guns aren't valid, it shows you haven't shot it enough to be good with it.
Got about 400 through my GX4. Only issue I had was the end cap of the guide rod began to unscrew this happened on the first box. Guess someone forgot the locktight at the factory. No further issues after that. Did add the truglow front sight.
Every semi auto will malfunction eventually when not cleaned. Do you ever change oil in your vehicles? And try shooting at a large PAPER target to see where you are printing.
That is certainly true, but that wasn't the issue here. It was how few rounds it took to cause malfunctions compared to other comparable guns on the market. In the end, as a carry gun rather than a range toy it doesn't make that much difference if it will only run for 250 - 300 rounds before cleaning. It was more of an inconvenience than a real problem; which is why I still gave this gun a positive rating. Yes I do sight the guns in with paper targets quite often. However, with this gun, I had just changed the sights out and had adjusted the sights and got them as close as I could on windage in the previous session. The problem is, I had to change ammo for this video. Even though it was still 115 grain, the point of impact still shifted. However, since this video was about 1000 reliability, not accuracy, I saw no reason to re-shoot the video just because I was not hitting well. There were already several videos that I had done wherein I had shown how accurate this little gun could be for its size, especially with the original sights.
Cap i put TRUGLO Tritium Handgun Glow-in-the-Dark Night Sights for Glock Pistols, Glock 17 on my GX4 which were purchased on Amazon for $55. They fit perfectly and are great in the day light and easily viewed at night. I bought a cheap sight pusher to prevent damage to the Truglo sights or to the pistol.
I try to use factory ammo for my videos; however, that gets quite expensive if that is all that you shoot. Reloads cost probably half what factory ammo does in 9mm. When you consider I put over 1100 rounds through this gun and and it was only 1 of about 100 guns that I have shot in the last year, I think you can see why I try to save money with reloads when I can. I always make sure to mention in the video when I do, though. With all of that said, I don't really think it was the reloads that caused the failures. Whatever it was, a cleaning fixed the issue and with it only experiencing handful of failures after the gun was extremely dirty, I am going to say the reliability of the GX4 is easily satisfactory.
@@Preacher357 I have a 356 sig and my wife has the hellcat and I bought the GX4 just to try and that's the gun that's always with me now it's work's that good for me. I just wish Glock would make one that size
Being a CNC machine programmer. Since the 1970s Gun makers have been ripping you off. Machining a part in the 60s would take 10 man hours to complete a CNC with 5 axes machine can do it in one hour that's why Taurus sell you a good gun that is very economical and the others won't follow through they just want the profit Why they used 416 Stainless steel it's the easiest to machine high strength and good wear ability
There is truth to that, but there is more than just greed involved. Marketing plays a role as well. Companies have to find out what the optimum market price is for their product. If they price it too high, no one will buy it because they will think it is too expensive. If they price it too low, no one will buy it because they will assume it is junk. Each brand sort of has their own niche in the market.
I have no doubt; but slowing down is hard to do for me, especially with a semi auto. Also, when I am recording I tend to feel rushed because I am consciously trying not to go too long, but still get in everything I want to say and do.
Low left shooting is indicative of you “slapping” the trigger. Load up some dummy rounds with your live rounds or have someone do that for you. You’ll see where your mistakes are instantly
That isn't the problem here. Changing the sights wouldn't cause me to "slap" the trigger and shoot low left when I was shooting dead on with the original sights on this gun. I put some Glock nights sights on the gun to see if the Taurus was compatible. They fit, but they were way off. I had adjusted the windage in the previous range session, but I changed ammo for this video, which apparently altered the point of impact.
I am with you 100%. Once I put the Wilson Combat grip on my Sig P365. There was an immediate love affair. I mean solid love. Till death do us part, no ring requited. I even bought the cyote tan, so I technically would not be cheating.
I had just shot it the day before and it was as zeroed as I could get it because the Glock sights I had put on were way off on the elevation. Unfortunately, I also changed ammunition from the previous day as well. I was still using 115 grain hard ball, so I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but it did. The windage changed quite a bit. I thought about not publishing the video and putting the original sights back on, but the whole point of this video was about the durability and reliability of the gun after 1000 rounds, not how accurate it was with aftermarket sights. I had already shown in the original video that I posted with the gun that it was extremely accurate with the original sights; so I decided just to put it up anyway.
@@starletsmokey3508 Maybe, but if it were the magazine then I would not expect a cleaning of the gun to apparently fix the problem. The failures occurred suddenly, all at one time, and then never happened again after I cleaned the gun.
I had actually already adjusted them once, but this ammo had a different point of impact than what I was using before. The biggest problem wasn't the windage though. It was the elevation, which I could not adjust. If I still had the gun I would have tried some other sights on it until I found ones that were on. As it was, I decided to let it go. I had done all of the testing that I needed to do and had decided that I was going to stick with my P365. It was a great little gun, though.
I don't necessarily disagree with that. The P365 I have had a spongy trigger. However, it still seems to shoot it well, which is the most important thing to me.
You are trying to make it a range gun when it is a self defence gun made for 10 yards or less where most self defence situations occur. Quit shooting crappy reloads and your reliability problems will go away!
As far as I am concerned every gun is a range gun. Even if it is for self defense you have to still practice with it at the range. I shoot all of my guns at these same distances, so my opinions of each gun are based on essentially identical shooting conditions. If I can shoot one gun of the same size very well but not another then that is basically an apples to apples comparison. Also, if a gun can be shot accurately at 20 or 35 yards then it most certainly can be at 7. I don't usually use reloads for my videos, but I do use them some for extended testing just for the sake of cost. I have reloaded for years and I can guarantee you I don't produce "crappy reloads". I tend to be fairly meticulous. However, with all that said, I think you missed the fact that I gave this gun rave reviews. The only issue I had was once the gun was very dirty, and once I cleaned it it started running flawlessly again. This was one of the most accurate small guns that I have fired. The only reason I struggled in this video was because of the aftermarket sights that I had just put on it that were not shooting anywhere close to point of aim.
That would help I'm sure, but these sights were so far off, that I am not sure it would have been enough. I just ended up changing the sights back...and then sold the gun to a friend.
Hey, we can't all be the world renowned PewPewNomNom. I have been waiting 11 years now for another amazing video of you shooting 1 shot at a target we can't see. I am hoping to be just like you one day when I grow up.
@@Preacher357 just sent it off today, so I'm not sure yet. I've seen other people having the same problems; pull the trigger and nothing happens. I hope they can fix it, I love the gun.
In this case it was the aftermarket sights. However, I had already demonstrated the accuracy of the gun in the first video when it still had the factory sights. The point of this video was the durability and reliability of the gun over 1000 rounds. Accuracy was irrelevant.

Same. I own both and I've put almost 1k rounds through my GX4. Love it to death and carried it many months as my EDC.
Which Glock sites? 43 43x? Or g26 can u use on the Taurus??

Nice video. I have a G3C 40 S&W and have no complaints. I have recommended the GX4XL to my daughter.
Taurus has an Ameriglo orange front sight to use with factory black rear sight.
Unfortunately, the GX4 had feeding issue right out of the box for me. In addition, the magazine kept dropping out. It is a good looking pistol. I am going to give it some more time but I don't think it will replace my P365 as my EDC.

I hope to get my GX4 back from Taurus this week. I hope they fixed the slide not returning to battery, jams, mags sliding out, and no fire.

I'm having a hard time deciding between this and a G3C which I've had before but want the TORO version. The ergonomics are very good on these pistols
Both seem to be good options from what I have experienced.
I have the g3c & the gx4. The gx4 has a much better trigger to it. Although I like the g3c also. There's alot of take up in the trigger.
G4 gives you more concealability and you can get extended mags to replicate the g3 grip if you want to

I really like the gx4 but they should atleast put a front night sight from factory on it. Almost all the micro 9 come with one.

It was perfect misses...haha..I would not make a video with out making sure it was zeroed..
I had just shot it the day before and it was as zeroed as I could get it because the Glock sights I had put on were way off on the elevation. Unfortunately, I also changed ammunition from the previous day as well. I was still using 115 grain hard ball, so I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but it did. The windage changed quite a bit. I thought about not publishing the video and putting the original sights back on, but the whole point of this video was about the durability and reliability of the gun after 1000 rounds, not how accurate it was with aftermarket sights. I had already shown in the original video that I posted with the gun that it was extremely accurate with the original sights; so I decided just to put it up anyway.
Once you shoot a box of metal case ur failure to feed should go away.
I was not shooting lead round. The failures occurred with jacketed ammo.
@@Preacher357 then more then likely it’s the magazine. I’ve had mine for over a year&half not even one failure to feed.
@@starletsmokey3508 Maybe, but if it were the magazine then I would not expect a cleaning of the gun to apparently fix the problem. The failures occurred suddenly, all at one time, and then never happened again after I cleaned the gun.
You shot much better with original sights.Readjust the sights!!
I had actually already adjusted them once, but this ammo had a different point of impact than what I was using before. The biggest problem wasn't the windage though. It was the elevation, which I could not adjust. If I still had the gun I would have tried some other sights on it until I found ones that were on. As it was, I decided to let it go. I had done all of the testing that I needed to do and had decided that I was going to stick with my P365. It was a great little gun, though.
Sig has bad triggers
I don't necessarily disagree with that. The P365 I have had a spongy trigger. However, it still seems to shoot it well, which is the most important thing to me.
You are trying to make it a range gun when it is a self defence gun made for 10 yards or less where most self defence situations occur. Quit shooting crappy reloads and your reliability problems will go away!
As far as I am concerned every gun is a range gun. Even if it is for self defense you have to still practice with it at the range. I shoot all of my guns at these same distances, so my opinions of each gun are based on essentially identical shooting conditions. If I can shoot one gun of the same size very well but not another then that is basically an apples to apples comparison. Also, if a gun can be shot accurately at 20 or 35 yards then it most certainly can be at 7. I don't usually use reloads for my videos, but I do use them some for extended testing just for the sake of cost. I have reloaded for years and I can guarantee you I don't produce "crappy reloads". I tend to be fairly meticulous. However, with all that said, I think you missed the fact that I gave this gun rave reviews. The only issue I had was once the gun was very dirty, and once I cleaned it it started running flawlessly again. This was one of the most accurate small guns that I have fired. The only reason I struggled in this video was because of the aftermarket sights that I had just put on it that were not shooting anywhere close to point of aim.
Try heavier ammo.
That would help I'm sure, but these sights were so far off, that I am not sure it would have been enough. I just ended up changing the sights back...and then sold the gun to a friend.
Very inexperienced shooter
Hey, we can't all be the world renowned PewPewNomNom. I have been waiting 11 years now for another amazing video of you shooting 1 shot at a target we can't see. I am hoping to be just like you one day when I grow up.
Mine didn't get through 20 rounds before I had trigger problems.
What was the issue?
@@Preacher357 just sent it off today, so I'm not sure yet. I've seen other people having the same problems; pull the trigger and nothing happens. I hope they can fix it, I love the gun.
@@diamonds420 If you would, let me know when you find out. I am curious to see what the problem was.
@@Preacher357 if I can remember, they said the wait time was about 4 weeks😂.
@@diamonds420 👍
its the shooter not the weapon
In this case it was the aftermarket sights. However, I had already demonstrated the accuracy of the gun in the first video when it still had the factory sights. The point of this video was the durability and reliability of the gun over 1000 rounds. Accuracy was irrelevant.
