Taurus GX4

I haven't shot one, but I've handled a couple.
They feel solid, well made and the trigger is very nice, at least it feels nice when dry firing

I got mine a few months back. I really like it. It's very reliable and easy to shoot accurately. I had it with me today at the range. Shooting at a 3" circle I put 19 of 20 rounds in the circle at 7 yards. One thing if you get the gx4, taurus sells a nice front night sight with a really bright orange ring . The orange is really easy to see during daytime shooting.

My buddy had one a while. It shot well and was fun. It didn't offer any trouble for the two weeks he had it.

He asked the local gunsmith bout it, and he said Taurus were his bread and butter so my buddy traded it.

My problem is deciding on coyote, grey or black slide.

Since my main carry gun is a PT145, and my 1911 is a Taurus PT 1911, I wouldn't hesitate to get a G2c, G3c, or GX4. Though for a few bucks more, the PSA Dagger looks like a good buy also.

Note that they just came out with the optics ready version

Only if the governor mandates it.

A little early to tell, but if it follows the path of the TX22, G2, and G3. They have a wiiner.

Not sure what you're trying to say here.. whiner? winner? weiner?

(I'm sure whichever term will have some here who agree with it.)

A missed stroke on a keyboard and I caught a WHINER!

My personal feeling is that I like the features, feel, and reputation of several other manufacturers’ offerings better than Taurus. Won’t discount that they’re on a roll of late with successful product launches of inexpensive and serviceable pistols, but I won’t be a customer.

I do have a friend who surpassed the 3k round count with his G2c recently and he likes it. Had 1 light strike at the range this week but I believe he swapped some parts including the guide and springs with a LakeLine kit. Could have easily been a high primer considering the crap ammo, as it fired with a second strike.

I paid $20 for 5 raffle tickets for one. Drawing on the 24th. I figure it'll be worth the $20 if I win.

Good Luck sometimes we get lucky. Years back I entered a national contest Springfield was having. I won a XDS 45 which just blew me away.

Good luck, man. I've never won a raffle. But I've never paid for a TV, thanks to my gramma filling out the raffle tickets.

I'm going to win a S&W 460 xvr and a Taurus g4 this month. The 1st of January I'm going to have to get a bigger safe.

Just wondering how Tuarus will screw the customer if there are any issues, lawsuits, or recalls.

Garbage company, don't care if they offered the best gun in the world. Go with a company that won't steal from you.

I'm a customer. Don't think I've been screwed yet. Had a little trouble with my g3c to start but it's worked out ok. Same with my Beretta. Don't think Taurus is the first with lawsuits and recalls.

Only can go by my own experience….
1.5 K through mine …zero hiccups.. better stock trigger than any of my Glocks

I like these New G3 and G4 pistols. Looks like they dish out the side of the chamber. Any ideas why? Doesnt seem like it would be a weight cutting feature considering how blocky it looks.

After all the praise and complaints no aired in this thread I still rely on what I read at the Taurus forum. Many work fine some do not. That is true of Ruger pistols (my choice). The difference is if my Ruger is bad, Ruger fixes it or replaces it quickly. You can’t say that about Taurus.

Thats an outdated mentality....none of that really matters anymore. Reliability... Durability...blah, blah. What does matter is...Can you mount a TV on the slide? also.... Is there a flat faced 2 pound trigger available?

I am interested in the G4 but it needs a little more time to be vetted. So does the Ruger for that matter. I am tired of being a betta tester for these major companies. Small startups I can understand and support anyways (sccy, FMK, diamonback etc. etc. .) When these mega manufacturers dont properly test before a new release its really irritating. Taurus also has a nasty habit of discontinueing models even once they are perfected. I still trust Beretta and HK to test fully before release but thats about it.

I do trust the G2 and G3 though. I have probably recommened those models more than any other the last couple years for a nice shooter or carry gun that will run out of the box (s&w SD series is up there as well) If the G4 live up to those I will buy a couple.

be nice if all these new subcompacts on the market were offered with 380 conversions. Its not that hard.

gotta say... I really like the looks of most of the new Taurus. G4 looks like a hybrid of the grendel p12 and a Sardius Sd9. Not really pretty but kind of cool looking. Thats just looks though. 1,500 rounds out of the box without a major or minor component failure is a good sign for a subcompact in a pretty powerful round.
