    Always appreciate your vids. You leave all the fluff out and the minimal amount of talking you do is a refresher from either a last video or to remind of issues going on. Some of these channels wear me out, sound like doing a campaign speech. Like get to the point and shoot the thing already. So yes thank you for the way you do your vids man!

    I'm still glad you brought it on the channel. This sample of one did not fare as well as had hoped. I had been thinking about adding
    one to my collection but maybe not now. Might add the XD Mod 3

      I had very high hopes for it. Out of the box it was running well.

    I would try the warranty route, if nothing else, for simple content. A lot of folks like to know what a first-hand experience working with their customer service is like. Especially if you are just going to mothball it anyway.

      I think that's a good idea. In my opinion, upgrading the firing pin assembly may be a better option though.

    Hi Nick , I was disappointed you didn’t run all 100 rounds of the defensive ammo . What I did see was zero failures with the better ammo . I just ran another 100 rounds thru my GX2 and have had zero failures , but I didn’t use that crappy Fioochi ammo either and I won’t use it . I have had too many light primer strikes with other pistols . One comment was another shooter has over 2000 rounds thru his GX2 zero failures . He didn’t use any of the Fioochi ammo either .
    Anyway hope Taurus sends you a replacement gun …
    Talk to you later buddy …

      If 9 out of 10 guns run the ammo fine, the problem is the gun, not the ammo. We have easily shot 10,000 rounds of Fiocchi through ten different guns recently - only one of the guns had issues with light primer strikes...

    The fact that this gun was produced in Brazil and not in Georgia like some of their other pistols is probably why you had the light primer strike issues.

    @ericborden281 2 дні тому +1

    Thanks for the honesty in your reviews. I was hoping the GX2 would perform as well as the Taurus TX22 but I see that it falls short. I have two Taurus pistols one is the TX22 gen 2 and the other is a Taurus 22 revolver. Both have more than 800 rounds through them and they are both solid on reliability. The only problem I’ve had was the typical 22 round hang fire. I like Taurus but I agree with you on gun reliability. If it doesn’t go bang every time you use it then it’s not worth trusting your wellbeing with.

    I really liked your one thousand round test. Thanks. Were all of the light primer strikes on the same make and type of ammo? I'd like to see you send the gun off to Taurus, and see what they say. The one thing I'd prefer you did differently,on these new gun tests, is thoroughly clean and lube them before firing. That way every gun starts from a known point. Otherwise you just don't know. Thanks again.
