I purchased the GX4 TORO (optics ready),for $329 and fully expected to hate it. What I got was the opposite, in fact it has become my carry gun.
It’s remarkably ergonomic, has a damn good trigger (better than a Glock trigger, which is what I mainly have experience with) and I threw a Holosun on it.
Taurus has a bad reputation, and some of it is justified. When it comes to the GX4, I’ve shot close to a 1000 rounds with this gun - anything from mixed hollowpoints to cheap FMJ, I’ve had exactly ZERO malfunctions, which is almost hard to believe. I understand people are concerned about the recall (my serial was not affected), I have two things to say about this. 1. Every major firearms manufacturer has had safety recalls, and 2. This specific recall only affects GX4s built in the US, not Brazil.
Here’s a list of recent recalls that I can think of:
Ruger 5.7 - safety issue
Sig p320 - similar drop when fired issue (mine was recalled, I’ve literally thrown this gun when chambered and never had an issue).
Smith and Wesson EZ - cracked hammers
Glock 42 - cracking slides
Early Springfield XDs - some kinda trigger issue too
The point is recalls happen all the time, and the GX4 is a remarkable value for money and a great handgun.
