I started to buy a few of them and I really like them. Guns don't have to cost a lot of money to be a good Pistol. My first Taurus was a G3C and I added a Olight and a night sight and have four 17 round magazines and a GX4 was next and I added a night sight and have three 13 round magazines and my last is a TX22 for my wife and I am totally happy with all three and I will most likely purchase another Taurus and the GX4 CARRY will probably be it. Thank you for the good review.
I have owned the P365xl and the hellcat pro, and more recently picked up the GX4 for an amazing deal and was so impressed I got the GX4XL just to see if it shot any differently, also on a great deal. Honestly I can shoot both GX4’s so much more consistently than both the sig and WAY better than the hellcat. Everyone is saying they’re budget and I guess that’s true but they are truly excellent in my experience. Haven’t had any failures of any kind with either and have shot several hundred rounds through each. Slightly interested in this new variant, but I can get 13+1 in the others with the extended mags, so not a huge benefit to upgrading… maybe they’ll offer the 15 round mags in a variant that will fit the original models.
Nice that it actually has a real 1913 rail now. The original GX4 was limited at rollout with WMLs because they pretty much depended on streamlight to make one for it. Now you can run a TLR7 or whatever floats your boat.
Just got 3 rds through mine ..head and shoulders better the basic gx4 ..triggers great and its really hi joke a tack driver ..not one issue at 3-350 rds so far ..I love this
To add to your comments, my gx4 has not only been extremely reliable. The build equality feels better than my walthers. And none of the recall issues I've noticed that with the sig 320 and other guns of that ilk. I know that Taurus did have a couple of recalls but mine was not affected by it the recall. And other than being selective on ammunition, no reloads. The gun has not failed going into battery or in reliability. I think I saw more teething issues with the p365 and I purchased this as a throwaway weapon, this has become my EDC
Idk who they hired at Taurus but whoever is behind the entire G series brought the life back to Taurus. Used to be only the revolvers that were worth a shit. Not the case anymore!
Kind of wanting to see how the GX4 sits in the hand. I went with the Sig P365 Macro because all the micros were to small to get a good grip on but I was needing something lighter than my M&P 40c (it needs an extended mag too to get a full grip on) because I was having hip problems. It was a nice pistol for the most part, best of the micros I shot, but for what it cost I was a little under whelmed after a while. When my hip got better I went back to the M&P but will take a look at the GX4 if I have problems again.
THANK YOU for mentioning the Glock sight non compatibility. Bought a set of tru glos that don't fit so that's $100 wasted. No one really talks about that. Have the XL version, smoother and softer shooting than my shadow system...
@@actraveler8309 I believe the gx4 is, but the XL model is not, there is a shallow recess in the top of the inside of thr slide, and there is not enough room between the edge of that recess and the edge of the hex head Glock front sight screw for a Glock front sight tool to fit and fasten the screw. So if this GX4 carry has a slide recess like the XL model I would worry about sight compatibility, because again, $100 sights that won't screw in, big bummer
@@piela650 you are correct regarding the difficulty getting a nut driver in however that is common to the GX4 base model as well. I had to utilize a needle nose plier for the front sight. I did apply loctite and it’s held better than the stock sight (which flew off) when firing.
@@piela650I ordered a factory sight that came with the screw needed to be able to use the Allen wrench and not the Glock tool. Sucks they could of moved the sight hole back 1 mm and the Glock tool would probably work. Taurus sells just the screws but they were sold out and I had to pay ten bucks for the whole front sight just to use the screw. When I ordered the front night sight from Taurus the Ameriglo I expected it to have the Allen screw but it has the plain Glock style screw and I had to order the factory gx4 screw that's Allen in the middle and normal Glock size on the outside. I thought I was gonna be able to use the one that was in the front sight. It mine was so tight I had to drill it out with a super small bit and my Dremel.
This is basically the GX4XL slide right? Sucks I have GX4, GX4XL and now will get the GX4 Carry unless they let you buy the grip module separately. I love my P365 Xmacro, but find myself carrying the GX4 more especially during the summer. Man, I hope they sell the grip module separately... 🤣😂😅
The standard GX4 with the optional 13rd magazine, which has the built in extended mag grip, is a better carry gun. Smaller, lighter, and just 2 less rounds for less than the cost of this version by about $100.
Correction, not all gx4 carry are optics cut. I actually bought one online at a big store and when i went to pick it up, no optics cut. Had to exchange for a toro version.
I have the gx4 but was considering to get the conversion kit (toro) just curious if I can just use my recoil spring and barrel? Taurus website for the conversion kit states for slide only...a little confusing
I have shot semi auto pistols for 46 years.. never had to strip a mag 🤣 Another review….. of the GX4 Carry and the 15rd mags are not tried in the GX4 😂😂😂
Not much specs: is it single or double action? Fully cocked when racked or partially cocked when racked? Double-strike capable? Manual safety? How many mags? WHO says that parts are Teflon coated? Not so much here to stimulate interest...........................elsullo
I gave the G3 and the 856. Taurus makes great stuff. Glad to see they are continuing to innovate their brand.

Canik and Taurus are making a mockery of price versus quality
Don’t forget CZ with the p10 series
@@notagunchannelYup and Beretta with the Apx/A1 series
How many mags come with it?
@@Thomas-yw9eo 2 magazines. And a mail in rebate card for 3 free magazines. So, 5 magazines. And the whole package cost less than $300
The GX4 was stupid small, and that was why it is so great. Hope they offer the extended magazine with sleeve to those with the GX4

I’ll keep my Gx4 toro. Small is what makes it so great.
Throw the word budget out. They provide QUALITY pistols for Reasonable prices
The gx4 is super small. Was hoping for a more tactical style gx4 and they delivered. Now I hope it’s reliable…

Awesome review I have a g2c@g3 love them both will look in to the gx4 regular size not the xl

You misheard. GX4s ARE compatible with Glock sights
@@actraveler8309 I believe the gx4 is, but the XL model is not, there is a shallow recess in the top of the inside of thr slide, and there is not enough room between the edge of that recess and the edge of the hex head Glock front sight screw for a Glock front sight tool to fit and fasten the screw.

Someone could maybe grind 1 side of a Glock tool flat and do quarter turns and that may work,don't know.
Good job on this video!

That would be nice… but I’m doubtful that will happen.
"Lubrosity" - nice word. How about the drop / safety / recall issues?
Uuuuuhhhhhh can we have MORE? Please..
I just ordered mine
I would argue the taurus gx4 is better than the ruger max 9 and the g3 better than rhe security 9. I have all i mentioned.
Have you received any recall on yours? Or did Taurus fix it? Can you drop test it please.
Have a gx4, th40,th9, and the th9c...I cant seem to purchase a G2 or G3...Already put this one on layaway...
great review. thank you very much.
What’s better the XL or carry? Also main differences?
same gun, same barrel size, XL has smaller grip (with less ammo capacity)
Is there any safety recall so far?
The standard GX4 with the optional 13rd magazine, which has the built in extended mag grip, is a better carry gun. Smaller, lighter, and just 2 less rounds for less than the cost of this version by about $100.
Dope content. Keep it up brother.
GX4 is great….if you want to shoot far away get something else….in real life self defense your not going to shoot very far…
If you wanna shoot far away… get an AR15 or a bolt sniper rifle.
Looks good.
Whats the release date ??? Funny i just got gx4xl a few days ago😅
It's today lol
Great Video 💯 Thank you 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

ok
@OldeEnglishOutfitters I think they are rare, maybe early releases, but it shocked me.
Where can we get one of those sweaters? I didn't see them on your website.
It's funny when you upsize a very small gun and call it a "carry".
MFer what do you think I was doing with the smaller guns?
Interesting gun. 👍
I have the gx4 but was considering to get the conversion kit (toro) just curious if I can just use my recoil spring and barrel? Taurus website for the conversion kit states for slide only...a little confusing
I have bear paws for hands is this one a good fit or is it just another quick return 😢
I have shot semi auto pistols for 46 years.. never had to strip a mag 🤣
Another review….. of the GX4 Carry and the 15rd mags are not tried in the GX4 😂😂😂
I’m so happy I didn’t buy the gx4 and xl
Carry the GX4 micro as my everyday....think this is an overkill of the Micro...not a fan!😢as to Taurus being Budget guns...they are good guns period!!
I think this is the goldilocks relm. The gx4XL is almost perfect this blurs the lines imo!
Compair to the G4 XL size.
After the G3C not feeding hollows issue, ill never buy a Taurus again. Was the worst purchase.
mine feeds HP great. Polish the feed ramp, that may help you.
Same slide......little bit longer......
WHAT ?????
I like it but the magazine baseplate looks like a afterthought and not really that good of quality
What is the actual width of the firearm?
Like Tomorrow... Please..
Like today it's out already
Not much specs: is it single or double action? Fully cocked when racked or partially cocked when racked? Double-strike capable? Manual safety? How many mags? WHO says that parts are Teflon coated? Not so much here to stimulate interest...........................elsullo
Do the carry mags fit the gx4
Thanks Dean. Great job. Good info. God bless.
LETS GO BRANDON
they just went full circle and made a glock 19
Yea at half the price.
If you're paying over 300 for a pistol you over paid, a pistols place is to only get you to your rifle.
Looks great and seems to be a decent pistol but wish they would have extended the barrel length a bit
