    There is a 13 round mag and extended mag bases available on the Taurus web site store. I would like to see a manual safety version. I would almost bet that an optic cut version is coming later for those who want it. Being the lowest priced micro 9 on the market these will sell like crazy. Thanks for sharing.

      @rbm6184 3 роки тому

      @@mathattered1884 Consider the tiny size of the pistol and the amount of room on the tiny frame dust cover. But yes they could have added a small accessory rail on the dust cover if they had enough room. I tend to think there was not enough room for a standard rail. It is one of the smallest dust covers I have ever seen. I have already seen a clip on laser sight on the trigger guard. Maybe they will have a clip on light or other accessories for the trigger guard. However the 365 dust cover is also tiny and they put one on theirs but its proprietary. If the rail is a deal breaker for you then don't buy the GX4. Or wait and see if a different frame with a rail comes out for the stainless steel chassis/fire control unit.

    Not a bad gun I'm definitely impressed that Taurus is stepping up their game. The GX4 has the potential to be one of the best micro compact pistol for under 550 dollars. That being said do I plan on getting one. Unfortunately not as much as I like the gun it's way too small for my large hands even with the extended magazines plus it did feel as comfortable as the M&P shield plus did. So at the end of the day I'm going with the new M&P shield plus.

    A held one that the day and it felt awesome in my hand, I love that it’s holds so many rounds yet is so tiny with a flush magazine…love tthe finishing on the barrel versus The rough looking unfinished cement looking barrels on their G2 & G3C models..I just wish they had made it look less like a futurist mini Taser & more like a gun. The went a bit overboard trying to make it look different than any other gun and that by itself is the problem with this design..g you want your gun to look like a gun to a perpetrator that you need to take you serious. A bad person that wants to do you harm acknowledging that you have a real gun and fleeing happens more than people have to shoot an attacker. The last thing you want them to think is that you’re holding a taser or a toy and then you end up having to shoot them for most likely ruin your life forever.

However, the clerk was pretty quick to diss this model and the G3C especially as not being suitable for anyone who would put any serious wear on a gun, and seemed pretty confident that they wouldn’t last more than 2000 rounds, But did acknowledge that it would be likely to run fine.. What is your sense about its durability?

    Taurus copies another popular pistol 🔫 (PT92, their revolvers for example). The Taurus PX4 has lots of Glock 43 DNA in it.
    This is good 👍for the buyer because from Glock's expired patents you get a better Taurus albeit a lower quality copy. Now the folks who have little to no money can defend themselves too.
