  • Summers almost here and needed a micro carry. My top 4 were: SIG 365XL, Springfield Hellcat, S&W Shield pro, Taurus GX4.
    I've taken a look at all 4 and liked how all felt. The Shield Pro felt best for me as I was going to purchase it and change my mind to wait a little. I was eying out the Taurus GX4 at my local BiMart as the price is $299 OTD. So for about a month, I went back and forth between the 2. Then I finally saw a Taurus GX4 TORO in stock. Took a good look, felt pretty good in my hands, trigger felt good, comes with 2 mags (11 rounder, 13 rounder). Saw the price of $360 vs the S&W which was going for $550 with a $50 rebate.
    I jumped on the GX4 TOROS for the price and how it felt pretty good in my hands. It's very concealable and can mount a red dot. The S&W Shield did not have a red dot MNT avail. Also there is available GX4 Taurus mags to purchase at my LGS.
    Haven't shot it yet but overall happy about the price package I set up for my GX4 TORO

    Mighty fine looking pistol, and I trust it shoots as well. Love my G3C, probably will score the G3 for good measure too.
    Thanks for sharing n' God bless

      Thanks. I finally shot it this past weekend with red dot sight in. 150 rounds no issue. A little snappy compared to my Glock19x

      @4mailekona  Год назад +1

      I had the G3C and can say the GX4 toro is a tad bit smaller/slimmer sort of like the size of a G43 or mp shield

    I have the PT111 G2 it has been prefect in operation since day one. Never a FTF or FTE. Has been a very good firearm. Trigger gets better with every box of ammo at the range, and it shoots real nice on the reset. Great gun.
    Subbing.

    I almost got that recently but seemed like it'd be a bit too snappy. I've found I'm less likely to train as much if the gun isn't enjoyable to shoot a few hundred rounds with. I ended up buying the Canik Tp9 Elite SC instead with bronze slide ($399), and a Holosun 507k green dot ($299). Glad Taurus is now making good, reliable guns for reasonable prices, though I have heard some horror stories on their Spectrum pocket pistol (which sucks because I really wanted one)

    • @4mailekona
      @4mailekona  Год назад +1

      Hey Chaplin, that canik is definitely a great carry gun. I used to have that as well and had to sell it for cash needed 🤒 I totally regret selling. It’s definitely accurate and for the time I had it was iron sight only. Love all caniks package as well. As far as the GX4 I love and it’s been dependable. It’s my summer carry and now in my safe till it gets warm again.

      @@4mailekona - No worries I'm sure you'll get it again, this time, with optics enabled so it'll be better! Fun pistol. I can't wait to try a more full sized Canik. I see your thought process on gx4=summer. I think for a summer pistol I'm just going to get a pocket 380. Just a "get off me" gun that easily conceals even in swim trunks

    The GX4 is also compatible with Glock 43 holsters. Fits even better without the need to tighten the retention like the one you showed.

      Not that I recall. I've run about 250 rounds so far. Ran a clip of HPs and ran fine. If no issues after 500 rounds brand new I would call it good. Did a clip of rapid fire and ran ok.

      @@4mailekona Nice. Mine failed around 70 rounds, right after some double-tapping drills. An FTE issue where the extractor would intermittently grab each casing. After about 10 more rounds it stopped extracting entirely and was repeatable with three different ammo types. I returned it under warranty and they deemed it a “out of spec rail” which required the firearm to be destroyed. Currently waiting on the replacement but you can imagine how I view Taurus in light of their reputation and my recent experience. They also forgot to ship the spring with my 13-round mag extension. The three different women I spoke with in customer service don’t seem to know how to rectify the issue… Lesson learned!
