Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Among its strengths are commendable accuracy at close to medium ranges, making it suitable for most practical shooting scenarios. The ergonomic design facilitates a comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during use. Reliability is consistent under standard conditions, with minimal malfunctions reported during extensive testing. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper technique. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to tight tolerances, requiring more effort for disassembly and cleaning. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. Additionally, some users with larger hands might find the grip slightly cramped, which could affect long-term comfort during extended range sessions.

The Trigger A++
By X-Raycer on 03 Oct 2023
At LGS I compared this to the P365. Besides price the trigger is what really sold me on this pistol. I added the 13 round conversion for one mag and a front night sight. I have the 709 Slim and the G3c but the GX4 takes the cake. It's Top Shelf.

Have the whole line up

Excellent concealment, higher capacity than others in the same size, perfect. Never had a misfire, or failure to feed. Would highly recommend it! Great grip! A+

Great Micro 9mm!
By JediSayia on 26 Aug 2023
I carry this with all the ease of my Ruger Security 380 with nearly the same comfort and accuracy of use; 9mm v/s .380 recoil difference withstanding.

The Perfect Micro
By Pocketgunner on 24 Mar 2022
Absolutely fantastic Micro. I own most of them, including the Sig 365. Taurus entered into the high competitive world of Micro 9mm's and took the best of all features and combined them into this Gem. Very light recoil, Great trigger for EDC. Balance is perfect. Taurus saw the need for using the off hand for control and evident in this gun. Two back strap options. High quality Mec Gar magazines. Option for Glock Night Sights. Excellent quality!
