    Man, all these higher capacity sub compacts just came out of the wood works right after I picked up my M&P Shield. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Shield, it shoots great! But anyone looking to pick up an awesome subcompact 9mm has a ton of choices right now.

    Hey TOOLS! I think I’ll just stick with my G2C. It’s been 100% reliable and although bigger than the P365, it’s not by much. I get a full grip, and should I ever have to defend myself with it, I won’t be crying my eyes out while it sits in an evidence locker for a year or two. It is still easy to conceal. I don’t have to have the tiniest thing on the planet to be happy.

(96 rounds) it failed at least once in every mag., and half the time it failed to lock back on the last round. I sent it back to Taurus and when I got it back, it worked fine for about 50 rounds and then started the same issues all over again. Gotta send it back again I guess. It's a shame because it is a great shooter when it works.

    Good review...thanks.
    I bought my GX4 for my NEW EDC.
    Wasn't looking for a firearm that was Red Dot Optics ready or had a 'rail'.
    I wanted a small 9mm that would be the best for self defense, concealment, yet have quality and be dependable.
    I wasn't going to be in any shooting competition with the GX4 as I have other firearms for that.
    Purchased the GX4 at my local Scheels and got the last one in stock at that time.
    329.00
    Put the Amerigo Glow Dot front sight on and a big+ over the white factory front sight.
    29.95
    Received the pinky extensions (2) for the two 11 rd mags that were included and that completed the grip for me....good to go with my pinky on board.
    9.98
    Of course my 13 rd mag has the extension.
    Got my Taurus GX4 IWB Holster from CYA Supply Co. Liked it so much got another for my Sig P238.
    That's all I needed to do to get the GX4 the way I wanted it on my hip.

    I Might buy one for my father in law. I have a Ruger EC9s that suits me well enough. I think the grip on the GX4 is too small for people with big hands, especially if you have long fingers because it makes you push the pistol to the left as you pull the trigger because you have too much finger through the trigger guard. I think a backstrap that increased the length of pull would be beneficial for people with large hands.

    My G3C was the same way, low and left! But after a few hundred rounds it got better. I did replace my front sight with a HiViz fiber optic that is a little lower and also is longer so it comes back up the slide further which also shortens the front sight view. I had to take it off and on a few times and do some file work to make it tighten up nice but man its so much nicer! Filed the screw shorter and filed the new sight base lower profile so the screw would tighten it to the slide. Anyway lol I do think you're right on the pinky extension will help accuracy! Sweeet though, just have to get used to it like any new handgun.

SO, all things being equal would you carry this for personal protection on a day to day basis? and is this rated for +P ammo? your not going to offend me in the slightest brother and i ask for your no bullshit EDC opinion on this because frankly your one of the VERY few i trust and value your no BS opinions on these tools we all love. would really appreciate your take on this since a little time has passed, thanks brother!!

    OfCourse all guns are not going to shoot to the same POI, but I guess I got lucky and the one I bought was right on the money right out of the box. The ammo makes a difference too, all brands, bullet weights and power levels don't shoot to the same place. I'd say the more you shoot it the better you'll be able to hit with it.

    For years now, I have bough S&W, Springfield, and a couple Ruger pistols in cardboard boxes.

    That Browning ammo may just be a poor shooting round from that gun. Won't know for sure until you compare with either that ammo in different guns or different ammo brands through the same gun. If you carefully scrutinized the sights you should be able to see if they are "off" or not. Also small guns like that are difficult to shoot well, plus that's your 1st time shooting it. Good work as usual! Thanks!!
