Taurus GX4 Carry: Contender or Pretender?

Описание: Taurus GX4 Carry: Compact Firepower Meets Everyday Convenience

This Video was filmed before the GX2 video. Somethings like aftermarket have changed.

The Taurus GX4 Carry takes everything we love about the original GX4 and dials it up a notch. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense firearm that balances size, capacity, and performance. Whether you’re looking for a new everyday carry (EDC) or just curious how it holds up against others like the Hellcat Pro and SIG P365, we’ve got you covered in this video. From the 15+1 capacity to its slim design and smooth shooting experience, there’s a lot to unpack. And trust us—this gun has a lot going for it.

Here’s a taste of what we’re covering:
Capacity – With 15+1 rounds on deck, this pistol is ready to handle business. But, fair warning: that mag base design might leave you scratching your head.
Recoil Control – The GX4 Carry boasts a surprisingly low recoil impulse, even rivaling pricier models like the Hellcat Pro.
Slim Profile – Easy to carry, comfortable to shoot, and designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine.

Design Details: The Good, the Bad, and the Quirky
The GX4 Carry keeps things compact without sacrificing functionality. The tapered grip might feel a bit boxy and that mag base design is... interesting. But if you can look past these quirks, you’ll find a reliable pistol that punches above its price point.

This gun isn’t just a great carry option; it’s also a ton of fun at the range. If you’re looking for something that’s as versatile as it is practical, this might be the one.

Comparisons: How Does It Stack Up?
Let’s be real—the GX4 Carry doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s going head-to-head with heavyweights like the Hellcat Pro and SIG P365. Here’s the rundown:

Against the Hellcat Pro: The GX4 Carry offers a softer recoil impulse, making it more comfortable to shoot over extended sessions. However, the Hellcat Pro edges out in terms of mag capacity with a flush-fit 15-round mag.
Against the GX4: The GX4 Carry is essentially a scaled-up version, offering more capacity while maintaining the same slim profile.
Against the SIG P365: While the P365 has a proven track record, the GX4 Carry brings comparable performance at a much friendlier price point.

Versatility: Carry, Range, and Everything in Between
Whether you’re rocking basketball shorts, a fanny pack, or your favorite pair of jeans, the GX4 Carry adapts to your lifestyle. It’s a great choice for:

Warm weather carry: Slim and easy to conceal.
Cold weather carry: A bit bulkier, but perfect when you’ve got extra layers.
Home defense: Attach a light, and you’re ready to go.
Range fun: Its low recoil makes it enjoyable to shoot for hours.

The Taurus Factor: Addressing the Elephant in the Room
We’ve all heard the jokes about Taurus’ past, but let’s set the record straight: this isn’t the same Taurus from years ago. The GX4 Carry is part of their revamped lineup, and it shows. During our testing, we ran over 2,000 rounds without a single issue. While the track record isn’t as established as some competitors, our experience has been nothing but positive.

Do we have doubts about its reliability? Not really. Do we have the long-term data to prove it? Not yet—but based on what we’ve seen, this gun deserves a shot (pun intended).

Why Stop at Just One?
Here’s the thing: the GX4 Carry and the original GX4 complement each other perfectly. The GX4 Carry is your go-to for colder months or when you want extra capacity. The GX4 is ideal for lightweight carry in warmer weather. And the best part? They share magazines. Carry the GX4 and keep a GX4 Carry mag as your backup. It’s a win-win.

Final Thoughts: Are We Buyers?
Absolutely. Both of us walked away impressed with the GX4 Carry. For the price, you’re getting a reliable, versatile, and downright fun firearm. Sure, there are minor gripes—the mag base design and the lack of a flush-fit mag— but those are small trade-offs for what you’re getting.

At the end of the day, the GX4 Carry is a solid option for anyone looking for a dependable EDC or just a great all-around pistol.
