I got the G2C a few years ago, and even that's a good pistol. The double strike capability makes it a heck of a good tool overall for the money.
Saw a G2c run 147 hollow points that the G3c wouldn't. The G2c had a wider feed ramp.
The G2 is better than the G3. They had to try to reinvent the wheel.
I own 6 different Taurus 9MM and one TX22. I’ve never had any issues with any of them ever after hundreds of rounds of different ammunition. As you as you keep them cleaned and lubricated, they’re reliable and accurate pistols.
True facts 😎.
I like Taurus, i'm all for companies copying each other, it's good for the consumer. Taurus usually copies successful designs of expired patents and offers them at lower prices.
Poor Broke MF…
@@RichBoyLivingthat’s wrong not everyone is blessed. But I personally wouldn’t own a Taurus after my experience with the 856 executive grade.
Thanks bro.
Taurus has really stepped it up the past 5 years or so. I wouldn't be opposed to owning and carrying one at all.
Love taurus. My first handgun g3 full size no issues what so ever
The g2c and g3c are probably some of the most sold pistols ever
No argument here
Argument here
Nothing wrong with Taurus firearms, I had 8 or 9 of them, traded/sold most off but my TX-22, never had an issue with any of them. They were my budget friendly and I kept them until I could afford to get more expensive firearms. I did carry a G2C for about 3 years and my brother carries it currently.
Better to have a Tauras than nothing. If you can't afford a Tauras get a high point 👉
@@donaldwortham2409 I still have my Hi point 45 I bought 15 years ago lol
@@janneman27 I actually was poor once and all I could afford was a Taurus starting out and those 8-9 were accumulated over a few years. I own 4 CZ's they are nice shooters and are reliable. My 3 HK's and my Staccato are way better in my opinion. But all bets aside we are gun enthusiast so people like what they like and there is no reason to degrade others for their choice of personal protection.
i bought a gx4 and already had to send it back for trigger issues.
@@coryc42 I heard they had a recall on some of them, but I haven't owned one.
The ones I owned were 3 G2C's, G3, Spectrum, Taurus Model 85 Ultralite, Tx22, and a Millenium.
I’m eager for the range review. I’m not alone in saying Taurus has come a long way and love the ones I have. I bought my pops the GX4 for his birthday and he loves it. I may have to have this one. Great video as always my friend 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
My G3c goes everywhere I go!
And I don't go anywhere without it!
Love that Taurus is keeping up with the market trends. With GX4 XL, I was getting my pinky pinched under recoil with 13r mags. I hope this model will resolve that issue.
I've seen a couple of videos on this one and from what others have said, it's a better feel and better grip all the way around. You might be able to order the grip if you have the XL and swap the internals
The GX4 replaced my G3C as my EDC, The GC3 has been failure free after 1500 rounds and is an great pistol. The GX4 is the better gun, excellent trigger, more compact with nearly the same capacity (i carry 13 plus 1) its more comfortable to carry and easily concealed. The GX4 is failure free too and easy and fun to shoot. The GC3 is a now a trusted house gun.
I didn't find the GX4 fun to shoot... It kept slipping my hand. I got rid of it and recently picked up a P365 SAS. The ported barrel helps, but I'm about to add an XL/X grip module that is aluminum with gas pedals. Surprisingly only $239 for the module.
I was definitely considering getting the GX4 Carry and still considering it.
Today's Taurus is an entirely different operation than the Taurus of 10 years ago. They keep upping their game. They sell their stuff for affordable prices and that for some reason makes many yahoos in our community think they're junk. I was one of those yahoos until i bought a few. I'm a big fan now. I have the GX4 Carry waiting on me at my FFL. Thanks for the suggestion and thumbs up Dan. Paid 308 shipped. Excited to get it out to the range. I'm topping with a 507K, but I'm anxious to try a Cyelee. Been hearing good things on them and oh boy, I love the prices
I got the G2C early on and I like it so I never tried the G3C. They're still marketing the G2C a lot. Taurus has done a good job with the G series of pistols.
Red dots are pointless in an emergency self defense situation imho. Red dots are primarily marketing exercises. Rifles? Ok but not these little guns. I have a Gx4 for edc. It doesn’t need anything that delays bringing it into play.
YES! 99% of shooters will never fire enough rounds to ever be proficient with a red dot. Red dots on micro compacts are absolutely ridiculous. Engagements under 10 yards, a red dot is completely worthless. This is all marketing, with the help of RUclips influencers, to create a market that’s completely unnecessary. Thanks for your clarity!
Agree. Red dots were first introduced as an aid on rifles for hunting purposes. They have their place on the range, but in a defensive situation, if you are depending on that dot sight then you're not confident enough in point and shoot to defend yourself. 10 yards or less and you need that dot sight on your pistol? I guess I won't ever understand that.
Agreed
Taurus rocks in my opinion
They certainly have stepped up and have been doing a great job the last 8 years
Gotta love that TX22 grip module very ergonomic, just feels right in my hand. Can't wait for your follow up video!
I don't know if you knew but the keychan has a tab on the bottom which is designed for the take down slot.
I didn't know. Look like just the keychain to me. Thanks for the information
Have the Tx22 compact. It's my main CC gun. Waiting to see if Scheel's has a black Friday sale? There $420 now.
These shoot better than my sig! And it’s under budget! I’m definitely going to pickup this one!
Very cool man! Hope you enjoy it
I did like the trigger on the GX4. I've already made my P365 trigger better than stock and it shoots a lot better
The Carry model seems like a solid choice for sure!
Much thanks for the update. Moving some of their facilities to the US seems to have improved the Taurus QC. Hope this one is a keeper.
Owned a Taurus over 20 years ago and sold it because it constantly had malfunctions, and it needed a bunch of oil to keep it running. But after seeing this video I just might consider this pistol. Been waiting for HK to come out with their micro 9 carry, but alas no pistol as of yet.
Taurus hg has come a long way... I've owned 5 and didn't have any malfunctions with them. I wasn't very fond of the original slim model and the original GX4 kept slapping my hand... I definitely wouldn't mind owning the Carry model
Need a review on Taurus’s real pistol
TS9
Please
Tx22, G2c and now a TH9c, very impressed with Taurus. Don't regret buying em.
I don't change my G3C, I bought directly at Taurus 2 seventeen rounds magazine, it made it the perfect gun to carry.
I still like my G3C just fine. However, given the increased terror alert status, I've been carrying my LE Trade-in G22. Thanks for the review, I wasn't really that familiar with the newest Taurus offerings.
My G3c has never missed a beat! I run 300-400 rounds through it everytime I visit the range & she still operates perfectly! Hard to beat a Taurus G series! From the pt 111, g2, g3, g3c, G4 iterations. Taurus has been kicking but & taking names!
I've been hoping that Taurus would put the GX4 trigger in the Ģ3. I guess this is close enough 👍
Bought this two weeks ago and love it. Replacing my GX4 which replaced my Sig p365. Now if only I could find a holster IWB for it! I suppose they will be coming out eventually....
If you don’t wanna wait, it’s easier to find a holster if you use a weapon light on it. A lot of holsters for the p365 w/ a weapon light can fit GX4s. So if you run a TLR7 on your GX4 carry it may fit. Tier 1 also has the universal MSP holster for most guns that use TLR1s
You're one of my favorite GunTubers and I'm not sure if you know or gave permission to this creator named T.A.B. videos but they have this exact video on their page. Just looking out, you do great work and you should get the credit you deserve.
Thanks for the info. TAB has been my friend for years
Great review, thanks for sharing. I drifted away from Taurus (and into Colt) 15 years ago with my wife's dissatisfaction with the PT-22 (during the first box of bullets). What a pick of junk!! So, it's interesting to watch your reviews for a product which I am unlikely to ever own. Keep'm coming!
The G3 series and the like are great.
I’ve had a g2c for years and that thing just runs. I might have to snag one of these eventually.
In 2015 I bought a Taurus PT111 G2, basically the same as the G2C. It hasn't malfunctioned once. I shoot about 90% 122gr. cast lead round nose and the rest is 115gr. FMJ and Federal 150gr. HST "Micro" (my 9mm "carry load") which is what I keep it loaded with.
I don't carry striker fired guns, but it is in my nightstand drawer.
Nice job again- it's basically like Sig's P365, P365XL and P365 Macro. Love my P365 & P365XL w/ Macro grip- if I didn't already have them, I would consider the GX4s for sure.
You should do a video on the Taurus TS9 (version of the BB-Tech BB6- I have one) that has quietly become available here in the USA.
Taurus seems to be a great value.
I wish you would've put the 15 round GX4 Carry Magazine into the GX4XL to show how it looked. Great Video
Great video Dan. I'm a fan of the GX4 line.
They almost got it. Make that exact gun with a walther p99 style decocker and double action striker fire with a 9 lb trigger and it's there.
Great vids, thanks.
I would wait in 2 hours in line for that
@@TheFirearmGuy same here.
I struggle to embrace Taurus after all their handgun sins through the years but that looks solid. If you're on a tight budget seems like a place to start
The past has NOTHING to do with the Future... these guns are UPGRADED...IMPROVED.. & LIGIT IMO.. Yeah under different Management & POOR QUALITY years ago they were not worth buying
How many yrs ago was that???? People act like no other firearms company had a rough start or even today “other” companies have no issues. Why don’t these perfect companies have lifetime or better warranties? Taurus stand by there firearms. Only thing I have neg to say about Taurus is that they don’t have enough CSR’s to answer the phone.
Lifetime warranties are junk if that cant fix it 4 times in a row...
Waiting to pick mine up in a few days. Perfect timing. With the rebate, it was a no brainer.
Great to hear 24! Hope you love it
I don’t think the rebate is applicable to GX4 Carry.
Bought a gx4 loved the feel in store.This thing jams more than a rock band.Shoots great when it fired but used 4 different ammos and on range 4 different times and jammed every time out.Back to taurus it goes hope they can fix the issues.Also i fired about 700-800 rds
I have several Taurus hand guns and love them. My G3c is my every day carry.
I bought my Taurus GX4 Carry optics ready on 4/16 from KY Gun just under $309. I also have a Glock 43X, they are practically the same gun only the Glock cost $460.
If Taurus would apply a durable finish, I would be so happy, but I still dig the hell out of a G3
I owned a Taurus PT-111 in 9mm. Once or twice per 100 rounds I would have a failure to extract. So fired case in chamber with the next round stripped half out of the magazine and jammed by the slide up against the empty. Not a quick failure to clear.
Besides that it was great.
I used to own a G2C and a G3C. Both were awesome handguns and I never had an issue with either of them. The GX series are reliable and also great looking guns. I appreciate a good looking firearm.
My wife absolutely loves her G3X. Had it 2 years i guess and never a misfire.
Great review and I also have a G3C with a night sight and four 17 round mags and a Olight and a WERKZ holster and a GX4 w/night sight and three round mags and I love them both and I will get a GX4 CARRY when my local Sportsman Warehouse gets one. Thank you
Great to hear James! Thanks for checking it out man
i dig my full size g3 switched from the g2c and kept the extra full size mags
Taurus has really done a great job recently with creating really reputable firearms at very reasonable costs. 👏
Good to see you, because I have not seen you in a while.
2 years ago I bought the original GX4 and Hellcat Pro on the same day. Was surprised the GX4 actually shot more accurately in rapid fire. I think despite the Pro's reliability and build quality, it's trigger's too stiff, grip is too vertical, and U-notch sights are harder for me to acquire. So I may trade it for a Gx4 Carry.
Ive had 2 G2cs and G3c and few revolvers, all fine dependable guns. You wont get quite the fit and finish of other higher echelon manufacterers but a dependable gun for working man.
Thanks for the video. I'm going to have to check this little Taurus out
I love them. Got the g2s and G3c
If you haven't done it already, please review the Taurus TS9. THANK YOU.
Thanks Dan great review..i have the G2c,G3c,GX4....No issues with any of them i have GX4 its my EDC!!
carrying an exspensive EDC is crazy. In the event if you're ever in a shoot situation your gun can be taken away until all cases are settled. Can take years before get it back.
I still have PTSD from owning Taurus Pistols made in the early part of this century. As much as these look pretty good, my therapist says I don't need another pistol catastrophic failure or 9 month turnaround customer service in my life. I'll pass. Soooooooo many better options that won't get you killed.
I have several of those Ceiley cat OPTICS and I really like them they’ve been really good for me and the price is so reasonable. I know it’s spelled Seiley wrong
What i like about the GX4 Carry, is that it akes styling Ques from the TX22, which i believe is ergonomically superior to many... If they get their triggers to match those TX22 triggers, Taurus will be "balling".
Taurus is making reliable affordable pistols. 7:12 Transformation is possible, and Taurus is a nicely priced.
I have three Taurus pistols two have been great the third works good now but it took Taurus three times to fix. But they did fix it. ✝️🇺🇸✝️
So many (too many?) options! I understand there are differences between these offerings, it is just surprising to me that a company can or would bring to market options that really aren't that much different from one another. I feel the same way about certain cars as well. Does Ford really need to offer the Escape, Edge, Explorer, AND the Expedition? Plus there are three trim offerings within each vehicle! Again, I understand there are size differences, but is it really necessary? (I believe actually the Escape is being retired, so maybe that says something to this point) I guess it's really just a consumer driven market.
Thank you.
Thanks, Walker
Excellent review and looking forward to the Range Report! Very Interested in this Pistol!
It's kind of between this and a Canik TP9 Elite for a new Carry Pistol for myself.
I just got an 856 Ultra Lite. Ordered a Houge grip for it.
great video! Respect
So, the Taurus version of a Hellcat Pro. That is cool
I sure you know but on the bottom of the keychain is a flat blade for disassembly. Have three Taurus firearms and will probably end up with more!
Those optic ready handguns sure are popular
Yes sir bro, great to see you back and making videos again
I'm waiting for a long barrel duty version of this gun. This gun will look good is a long barrel
Finally! 300,000 subs! It's about time, I think you should have had at least $500,000 by now with the quality of your content.
How awesome would that be if Taurus released the frame only!?
Agreed, but I don't think there's money in that for the company
I was at a gun store yesterday nd I over heard a clerk talking about a new Taurus 38sp revolver coming out.
That looks a winner for Taurus. I like their TORO acronym. Kind of catchy LOL.
Looks pretty nice. Glad they went with a grip to match the magazine instead of using the magazine as the grip. Does seem strange that most of the manufacturers jumped into the micro carry market and then pretty much all set about to making them bigger. Looks to be a fairly competitive option to the big dogs.
Hope it has a safety
I was hoping they were going to ditch the G series design language and go with the GX4 style. Had I not already bought a GX4 I would probably go with this.
Not sure why I haven't commented on your video's before but they are fantastic! Keep making them and I'll keep watching!
I really appreciate that Collin
the pt.111 g2 is really good also.
Awesome review 😎😎.
That's a nice gun but I'm already invested in the G3 , G3c, and TH9.
I'm try to have 4 of each and maybe then I'll buy the GX4.
Nice to see an expanding list of choices. This one of not for me, though... Something about Taurus just doesn't feel "right" and I don't know exactly what
I'm sure Taurus has upped their game in the last couple of years, but after being burned twice I'll never own another one. Good luck to you Taurus guys.
Very polite comment Max. Thanks man!
How about a GX4 slide on a GX4 carry frame with flush fitting 15 round magazines? That would have made more sense to me.
idk man. As these so called compact guns get bigger, I just carry my G19. I have an original Hellcat and a LCP for deep carry situations.
NOTE: My GX4 is not part of the recall.
I bought my GX4 for my NEW EDC in June 2021 and have had 0, No, issues to this date and have run over 2900 rounds.
Wasn't looking for a firearm that was 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.
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.
Of course my 13 rd mag comes with the extension.
That's all I needed to do to get the GX4 the way I wanted it on my hip...or wherever I carry it.
Recently upgraded to the Tru-Glow sights which is a great add-on over the factory sights.
Also have now a Viridian Red Laser which was an easy mount not having a rail.
Added this weekend the Hogue HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeve specifically for the GX4 and GX4XL.
Do some have issues, sure they do. Did some Shield Plus have issues? Did the Sig P365 have any issues? Did the Glock 42 or 43 have issues? It’s a big yes to all.

I like it Dan!! No safety, thumbs way up. Thanks for the review Brother & shoot on!!
Ive owned 2 g3c and neither of them would feed hollowpoints. The g2cs i owned had no issues but the g3 feed ramp was way too steep everything would get caught
Beretta APX A1 full size optics ready is cheaper after the mail-in rebate, decisions.....decisions.....
Thanks for the great review dan!
Been waiting for reviews from big name reviewers for a month! Can't wait to see what you do with it on the range and your comical limp wrist test
They are hopin to take some of the hellcat pro pie
I'm hoping the GX4 Series is as good as the G3 series... Because I'm onto this one
Ahh, how the world turns. Cars were big, then small was in. Now big SUVs are all the rage. Cell phones were big, but they kept getting smaller and smaller. Now cell phones are bigger than ever. Guns seem to be following the same pattern.
You just mentioned a future video of mine. Was waiting to show this before I spoke about that exact same point
Nice pistol, thank You for the review
I honestly do not see the need or nitch for it. If you already own the GX4, and a G3C and maybe the GX4 XL honestly What's the point?
It's just another offering by Taurus that many people will enjoy
@@TheFirearmGuy Yea I get it, but it's kind of a moot point. It's almost like watching the movie groundhog day. By the way nice review keep up the good work brother 👍.
If you own the ones you mention, probably not a lot.
But if not, an optic ready and pic rail is pretty cool!👍
Be safe and aware all!✌️
I need this thanks a bunch 😎
Will you be reviewing the Taurus TS9? There's a few other videos out there about it, but most are in Portuguese. No big name RUclipsr has spoken about it that I know of.
I really like some of their designs but their hit or miss quality control rules them out as an EDC pistol for me personally.
Feel safer carrying a police trade in Glock or Smith M&P for the same price.
Your mileage may vary and I don’t fault anyone who does carry a Taurus, but it’s just not worth the risk to me.
P365 XL
Would have (instead) liked to see a GX4 with the thumb-safey of the G3C, as the new model....instead of a "bigger" sub-compact that now brings us closer to the size of the G3C.
