The more the merrier especially in this price range and category. Just wish they followed rugers lead and added better sights and an optics cut out of the box.
@@finck2208 They are offering the basic pistol first at an affordable price. I am confident a TORO or optics version will be next. Taurus will give versions instead of just one pistol with a higher cost. The more affordable basic pistol comes first.
Sharp looking Pew Pew, 11 rounds in that small package is great. I'm happy manufacturers are focusing on larger capacity magazines on their sub compacts!
Just bought this for my wife. I looked at the Hellcat. It was 589.00. The Taurus was 359.00. Wifey put a box of ammo through it and it ran flawlessly. Good little gun, so far.
The newish CEO of Taurus (former high up in Beretta) completely turned the company around in the past several years! I’m stoked that this doesn’t have an external safety, and a much better flat face trigger. I can’t believe I’m actually going to say this about a Taurus, but I would probably consider this as a new carry gun. (Although, in reality, I’m just eagerly awaiting Walther’s entry into the micro double stack market...)
I was waiting for them too, but I reached out to them for a possible review copy. I received an email from walther and they are currently not making one. They said the only thing they have for now that’s new is the compact pdp.
@@CagedSUPERMAN what?!?!? No way!!!! If that’s true, that sucks! I know I’ve gotten some answers from different gun companies saying that they are a publicly traded company and cannot disclose any projects they may or may not be working on, let’s hope that is the case here....
I'm glad Taurus is making a lot of good products lately! I mean, I've seen a Taurus 40 cal pistol go full auto on the street, but the company has improved the quality of its products by a huge margin, compared to back then.
Great review. As a novices shooter I’m learning to appreciate well edited direct short information packed videos. Well done And much appreciated as I’ve seen curious about this one.
Just purchased my gx4. First trip to range made me glad I added to collection. No issues at all. Also have the g3c and g3. Have had no problems with these either. Completely satisfied with Taurus purchases.
I just bought my GX4 ($345) and3 I can not be any happier with my purchase! Straight out of the box and it grouped flawlessly! Sootch is right tho...it does favor low left but a tight grouping. A lil adjusting and it should be just fine! Very lil snap in the recoil. This is my 3rd Taurus...PT 24/7 G2, G2C, and GX4! I may be a lil biased tho...I am a Taurus so...😀
I ain't mad about this. Perfect little "on person carry pew" for EDC, especially in the summer. I'll be able to rock my shmedium's again. 🤣 This is why I have been holding out. I didn't want to spend 599 on a hellcat or even more on a p365 $329 seems like a great price, and what I plan to pay for the GX4. Even the $200 taurus G2's I purchased a while back have been running little girls. Not afraid to carry a taurus whatsoever. GOD forbid I have to use this pea shooter on an assailant to protect my family or myself. However...... The Damage on the wallet wouldn't be so bad vs if my G19 was confiscated. Though self preservation is priceless, and price doesn't matter when it comes down to it, I do think of that now. As far as the mag goes..... We know the extension is already in the works. If I were a betting man......This may just be perhaps the most popular micro on the market. Maybe even among Carry guns under 500. If not, it will be top 5 for sure. Anyhow.....Thanks @Johnny B @Pew Pew Tactical I appreciate your review! See y'all and drama llama tomorrow! From MY COLD, DEAD, HANDS! GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I like your thought process. I have a g19 and g43x, love them both, but the gx4 definitely can serve a purpose, especially in the summer or as a backup.
6 months after its release the GX4 began to enter the sub $300 price range at some local gun shops. I picked 2 at $271 ea out the door during a black friday sale. Replaced the sights with Truglo Pro TG231G1W for Glock 17/19 from Amazon ($55/set). So for just around $325 I was able to get a GX4 with tritium night sights. I have difficulty in installing the large grip backstrap. The plastic piece has some deformities from improper molding process. So it does not fit the frame as tightly as it should causing the pin holes to be misaligned with the pin holes on the frame. Called Taurus and sent them pictures of the problem grip module. No action taken by Taurus so far.
Same. Nothing in particular jumps out at me compared to the G3C. In practical terms, it's only a half inch smaller, 3 ozs. lighter, one less round, and a two-finger vs. full grip.
I own a number of the Micro 9mm's. I have to say the Gx4 has made it to the top of the list. Just a terrific package in every respect. I invested 1,000 rds to try this gun out and it performed like a Champion, not one single failure with all kinds of ammo. Just love this gun. Later bought a Toro Slide to go with it. Cost only $149.00. Mec Ger magazines are top of the line quality. Bravo to Taurus, they obviously wanted and winner and they did just that.
I'll wait for the GX4 T.O.R.O. They probably did this by design, they sell as many as they can with out the T.O.R.O. system then get the same people to buy with it.
It only took them thirty years to get rid of the thumb safety :P a full-size T.O.R.O version with included suppressor-height sights and a pic rail would absolutely *murder* the competition.
Bought a smith and Wesson shield plus performance center and got a great cardboard box. Could have bought two or three Taurus for that price and would have got a nice box.
I like the cardboard box. I throw em away. Less clutter. I have 79 plastic boxes which take up space in one closet. I have a shelving racks in my gun safe which allows 20 pistols in a row. That allows for a quick view and access. Plus cardboard boxes help keep the price down. Maybe they should give an option.
I know what you mean. My edc is the pt111, and has been flawless. However, there's just something about this one. 8oz lighter, smaller, and looks a lot like my TX22, with the same texturing, and which is phenomenal! But, this one screams EDC!
I really want one of these. I have a Sig p365xl as my EDC today but this looks like a great one to swap change it up with and I'm looking to justify a purchase! :)
The G3C, when it came out had all that empty real-estate on the top of the slide just Screaming for a optics cut. Took a Year to release the TORO. This GX4 is exactly the same way, vacant space on the slide! Why Taurus didn't go TORO out of the gate, is beyond me. Same with a Pinky Rest, why wait to get what should have been in the box from Jump Street!
My EDC rotation is the Canik TP9 SC Elite, S&W MP 2.0 Compact and the Taurus G3c. I like the look of the GX4 but don't understand why it didn't come optics ready like many of the Micro's (like the Ruger Max-9 and S&W Plus) especially since they already came out with the new Toro series. 🙄
R. Parker If you follow Taurus marketing methods then like the G3c and later the G3c TORO, it is safe to assume a GX4 TORO later. They want to offer the standard pistol first and then the options pistol after. Its a cost decision. The GX4 basic price followed by a GX4 TORO increased price.
I'd expect a extra optics cut to cost more than 392. The new shield plus is asking 500. I bought my shield 3 years ago for 320. If m&p is jacking up their prices I'd expect them to do the same.
Good video 👍 . . . . The price has come down a little, I just bought one at Sportsman’s Warehouse (a chain of stores out west) for $330.00 . . . Good gun I like it very much
More gun makers competing in the market is GOOD, for all of us. If these small guns get the hesitant out there to start carrying then, hey, good deal. I do still know some good folks that do not carry. Their excuses? Got take a class and pay for a license. I live in a safe neighborhood. Yeah, but... You know these folks too. Just my opinion. More choices is always a +.
Am I the only one who gets a Ruger Max 9 vib from this gun? Similar size, shape, and take down, I have the TX22 and the MAX 9, and like them both, when I first got the TX22 thought it would be great in 9mm or .40, let's hope that's where Taurus is headed
Very good video! Informative. Not a Glock or sig fan and Taurus has kept me happily armed for better than 20 years now. Bought first gen millennium still wondering where this bad reputation came from. Before that it was Colt or Smith& Wesson Browning. I just purchased my first 2 Rugers. They are so similar to Taurus early models yet they are loved. Hmmmm Anyhow just got the firearm you are speaking of. I’ve looked at and appreciated all available new products in this tinynine genre I like Taurus the best. It did what everyone else was trying to do! I might be the person who coined the name TINYNINE! Hope I’m first thus far Taurus is the last word in the TINYNINE GENRE.
Actually Taurus didn’t copy Sg because Sig recognized their shortcomings and extended the grip and slide as well as adding an optics cut and produced their own optics with the remakes of the P365 XL.
That's a good question but that little dot is a little expensive for what you get to me may have a different outlook once I get some time on one though
I'd bet Brazilian Real to Swiss Francs that the Taurus doesn't have anywhere near the reliability or durability issues the early P365 had, and people will STILL say they prefer to take the "more reliable" P365.
The P365 should be flattered. That slide looks like a sibling to it. EDIT: The GX4 is selling as low as $389 online without night sights. The P365 sells for $499 online with night sights. There is no cost advantage to buy the GX4 if you want night sights. Winner: P365
That’s just scummy FFLs you’re looking at. I’ve never even came close to paying full msrp for a Taurus even with ammo shortages. I paid $210 for my tx22 and $220 for my g2c
After 200 rds I am not impressed. Its marketed to rally against the p365. They're Fing dreaming. Its Brazilian quality thus $100 over priced. It's my 4th Taurus in 6months. They should all run under $300 until they improve their quality. I can purchase G43x & Caniks for less than $400. Have you heard anything about Canks micro release date?
The micro-9 is not a good concept. This sized gun should be chambered in .380, .32ACP, OR .45ACP. The marketing gimmick is to convince people that 9mm is the bare minimum for self defense and sell new people guns that have prohibitive recoil. Most new shooters who buy this gun will either A.) not shoot it enough because it is unenjoyable, and therefore they will never have to send it in to get repaired. OR B.) buy something else. Either a different gun entirely or the lego piece magazine that actually gives the gun an adequate grip. You shouldn't have to buy a special magazine to make the gun shootable. That is such an obvious marketing strategy. If this gun was chambered in .380, it would be perfect for all novice to intermediate shooters. If this gun was chambered in .45ACP, it would be a one-hitter quitter so the recoil wouldn't matter as much. I'm thinking a Kahr PM45 style gun. 9mm micros look excellent on paper, especially if you have convinced everyone that 9mm is the bare minimum for adequate self defense. But, these arguments about 'muh spec sheet' and 'muh total package in a micro' are mere abstractions. Real life with a gun that small, you want .380 or even .32 ACP. As for the reliability, it will be interesting to see if it runs non-premium hollow points and interesting to see how those hollow points perform coming from a 3 inch barrel. If the gun is finicky with certain common nose profiles, and/or needs a heavy 'micro carry' hollow point (147-150gr) to give adequate performance, I'm gonna go ahead and say this gun is a total no-go.
This is big loser as this is a big misstep for Taurus with a short grip and a non optics ready slide. Sig retrofitted their P365 with P365 XL with an extended optics ready slide and grip. I guess that Taurus was focused on making a cheap good pistol instead of something better in the market. Good is the enemy of better.
AN EXAMPLE - comparison between *_Taurus & SIG_* by Logic: A wash - Round count is irreverent pass 6 or 7 bullets as the average shots fired in all self-defense is 2 to 4 shots (FBI data) SIG P365 is better - higher quality, known reputation of being reliable & accurate pistol. SIG P365 is worse - being higher end = higher price so poorer folks & low income individuals can not afford it. Taurus GX4 is better - low price is great for the poor so now they can defend themselves too like the general public. Also, should Glock sue? being a copy of the Glock 43 (by ---stealing--- _borrowing_ Glock R&D) it should be more reliable than most Taurus'. Taurus GX4 is worse - Taurus has a bad reputation for unreliability & very, very poor customer service. The Taurus GX4 is lower quality than the SIG (point one). The Taurus will have *lower re-sell value* than the SIG. The Taurus copies Glocks R&D as said so it should work. _But_ why not just get the original (G43) instead of a copy cat (point two). *NOTE:* (opinion) This emphasis on the trigger of CCW guns & non-competition handguns is _ridiculous._ Will the very small difference in how a striker fired trigger works make a difference is the high stress event of a self-defense shooting. Will it even matter for anything if you actually use the gun, practicing to *_learn_* the gun. There are no good or bad triggers in CCW or self-defense. There are triggers that need to be _learned._ And that learning should take a week if that. Happy Father's Day
I bought one and the trigger safety broke the first day. I sent it in to Taurus and called them a week and a half after they received it. They only checked it into their system the day I called for a status update..... a week and a half after they received it. They told me the repair could take up to 4 weeks. Really??? A month and a half to repair a broken trigger safety??? I only shot one mag out of the stupid gun. This is the last Taurus I will ever buy!
What are your thoughts on all of these new subcompact releases of late? If you carry, what's your go-to? Screech below 😎
Micro 9 SIG P365 main carry. Sub compacts Bersa TPR9C & Taurus G2c. If Taurus comes out with a manual safety GX4 then I might consider it.
The more the merrier especially in this price range and category. Just wish they followed rugers lead and added better sights and an optics cut out of the box.
I hate sub-compacts
@@finck2208 They are offering the basic pistol first at an affordable price. I am confident a TORO or optics version will be next. Taurus will give versions instead of just one pistol with a higher cost. The more affordable basic pistol comes first.
Glock 19 for me. Altho im looking to switch it up and get away from glock no specific reason on it.i guess im just bored with glocks lol

I thought he was going to say the slide is slidey after saying the grip is grippy. 😂
Yay, a new gun that is out of stock EVERYWHERE!
Rkguns still has it in stock.
I've seen a couple other channel reviews with an optional 13 round magazine that makes it a three finger grip.
Great review on a great reliable quality gun from taurus surely will be a hit...
Looks like a sawed off TX-22 with a bigger bore.
And my TX22 has been flawless! Might have to convince myself that I need to replace my edc pt111, with this one!
Johnny, Johnny be good.
Thank you so much for the review.
God bless
Looks nice. I'll stick with my G3C.
Why not have both
Same. Nothing in particular jumps out at me compared to the G3C. In practical terms, it's only a half inch smaller, 3 ozs. lighter, one less round, and a two-finger vs. full grip.

@@scottosborn4439 Ah,ok. Good to know. I stand corrected. Thank you for clarifying that
Awesome 👍 thanks
Easy to operate slide release is a +.
BTW, stores should be selling it for 300, or at least my store will be.
I'm buying one on Saturday....thanks!
Looks like a HellCat sexy but G2C is more practical for me .
Looks a lot less snappy than the p365. Would love a comparison vid.
Well if you shoot your thumb off...... you're not gonna have to worry about ever again..💁♂️
The T.O.R.O. version of this would be right on.

Awesome as always Johnny , but where's Uncle Ricky?
Ohhhh he’s around. Planted the tomatoes last week.
I love my Sig P938. This looks like a good one as well, but it does look a bit small. And pinky mags for sure!!!
I have 3 Taurus' ,..no real complaints.
Bought a smith and Wesson shield plus performance center and got a great cardboard box. Could have bought two or three Taurus for that price and would have got a nice box.

Agree, especially for a compact carry gun, dont need a box for edc but a holster.
I want to see you guys do a video of the full size G3. Maybe you have, but I couldn't find it if you did.
Thanks. Great video. ♥️🤘
I haven't had a chance to fire any of these micro 9s. I can't imagine they're very comfortable to shoot. But I guess that isn't the point.
If it can't run steel it doesn't deserve the brass- Kalash Jesus
Yeah man. If you can't eat McDonalds, you don't deserve Whole Foods. What? Your diarrhea? Stomach cancer? Pfft. Whatever man. YOLO
Only if it came with the 32 rnd mag like my G2C It doesn't matter I'm still getting the gx4 it will be my edc
I know what you mean. My edc is the pt111, and has been flawless. However, there's just something about this one. 8oz lighter, smaller, and looks a lot like my TX22, with the same texturing, and which is phenomenal! But, this one screams EDC!
Needs an rds cut to be truly competitive to me... I'm spoilt and addicted to my slide riders!
I love them too but at a certain point it seems to me it deviates from the pocket gun concept.
I love Taurus, but I will stick to my P365! At least until they have a 12 rd with a pinky extension and upgraded sights.
I just got a notification just selling the 13 round magazine now.

u just got one the TORO version with a holosun 507k on it, nice trigger havent shot it yet though.,
They have the pinky extension mag floor plate on their website for ~$6 ...so why not include one or two in the box?? SCCY does...
Am I the only one who gets a Ruger Max 9 vib from this gun? Similar size, shape, and take down, I have the TX22 and the MAX 9, and like them both, when I first got the TX22 thought it would be great in 9mm or .40, let's hope that's where Taurus is headed
May still get the G3C when I get my CCW next month, but this beauty is really tempting.
You can have both compared to the price of some competitors products.
Nice looking gun except for the takedown and barrel

cant beat the price!!! but i think its 95% like sig p369.
thank you sir great review
Thanks, Les!
Yay.
Taurus: “Can I copy your work?”
Sig: “Yeah just change it up a bit.”

the taurus P365?

Please taurus make this in 45acp. To compeat with Sig Sauers p320
Good stuff
Being that it takes Glock sights, with a flat slide plate, would the Leupold DeltaPoint Micro fit?
That's a good question but that little dot is a little expensive for what you get to me may have a different outlook once I get some time on one though

*Military arms channel entered into the chat*
Is this the same finish thats on the g3c? If so that finish shows all scuff marks

The P365 should be flattered. That slide looks like a sibling to it.

There is no cost advantage to buy the GX4 if you want night sights.

They should all run under $300 until they improve their quality. I can purchase G43x & Caniks for less than $400. Have you heard anything about Canks micro release date?
Cool but I’m sticking with my Glock 19
The micro-9 is not a good concept. This sized gun should be chambered in .380, .32ACP, OR .45ACP. The marketing gimmick is to convince people that 9mm is the bare minimum for self defense and sell new people guns that have prohibitive recoil. Most new shooters who buy this gun will either A.) not shoot it enough because it is unenjoyable, and therefore they will never have to send it in to get repaired. OR B.) buy something else. Either a different gun entirely or the lego piece magazine that actually gives the gun an adequate grip. You shouldn't have to buy a special magazine to make the gun shootable. That is such an obvious marketing strategy.
If this gun was chambered in .380, it would be perfect for all novice to intermediate shooters. If this gun was chambered in .45ACP, it would be a one-hitter quitter so the recoil wouldn't matter as much. I'm thinking a Kahr PM45 style gun.
9mm micros look excellent on paper, especially if you have convinced everyone that 9mm is the bare minimum for adequate self defense. But, these arguments about 'muh spec sheet' and 'muh total package in a micro' are mere abstractions. Real life with a gun that small, you want .380 or even .32 ACP.
As for the reliability, it will be interesting to see if it runs non-premium hollow points and interesting to see how those hollow points perform coming from a 3 inch barrel. If the gun is finicky with certain common nose profiles, and/or needs a heavy 'micro carry' hollow point (147-150gr) to give adequate performance, I'm gonna go ahead and say this gun is a total no-go.
Uses Glock sights
🔥👌💪💯
This is big loser as this is a big misstep for Taurus with a short grip and a non optics ready slide. Sig retrofitted their P365 with P365 XL with an extended optics ready slide and grip. I guess that Taurus was focused on making a cheap good pistol instead of something better in the market. Good is the enemy of better.
I've had some Taurus handguns. If you want a range toy, great. If you want a tool to protect your life, nooooo no noo noooo.
I own a couple of Taurus pistols and they run like clock work. Good bang for the buck
AN EXAMPLE - comparison between *_Taurus & SIG_* by Logic:
A wash - Round count is irreverent pass 6 or 7 bullets as the average shots fired in all self-defense is 2 to 4 shots (FBI data)
SIG P365 is better - higher quality, known reputation of being reliable & accurate pistol.
SIG P365 is worse - being higher end = higher price so poorer folks & low income individuals can not afford it.
Taurus GX4 is better - low price is great for the poor so now they can defend themselves too like the general public.
Also, should Glock sue? being a copy of the Glock 43 (by ---stealing--- _borrowing_ Glock R&D) it should be more reliable than most Taurus'.
Taurus GX4 is worse - Taurus has a bad reputation for unreliability & very, very poor customer service. The Taurus GX4 is lower quality than the SIG (point one). The Taurus will have *lower re-sell value* than the SIG. The Taurus copies Glocks R&D as said so it should work. _But_ why not just get the original (G43) instead of a copy cat (point two).
*NOTE:* (opinion) This emphasis on the trigger of CCW guns & non-competition handguns is _ridiculous._ Will the very small difference in how a striker fired trigger works make a difference is the high stress event of a self-defense shooting. Will it even matter for anything if you actually use the gun, practicing to *_learn_* the gun. There are no good or bad triggers in CCW or self-defense. There are triggers that need to be _learned._ And that learning should take a week if that.
Happy Father's Day
I bought one and the trigger safety broke the first day. I sent it in to Taurus and called them a week and a half after they received it. They only checked it into their system the day I called for a status update..... a week and a half after they received it. They told me the repair could take up to 4 weeks. Really??? A month and a half to repair a broken trigger safety??? I only shot one mag out of the stupid gun. This is the last Taurus I will ever buy!
