![]() Overall, it looks and feels more like an aftermarket trigger than a factory one. The trigger shoe has a modern, nearly flat shape that suits the gun well. Part of the magic is the simplicity of the singe-action mechanism (and there’s no re-strike capability). The reset is short, positive and repeatable, too. After a short take-up, the GX4’s trigger hits a wall and then breaks with zero perceptible creep at 6 pounds - even. The first thing I noticed was the uniquely clean trigger stroke. I’m an unabashed trigger snob, and these type of guns never seem to satisfy me. So what stood out? If polymer-framed striker-fired handguns have a weakness, it is the spongy trigger pulls. After the first mag ting’d an array of steel targets at the company’s outdoor range, I turned to Vorhees with a smile and said, “You are going to sell as many of these as you can make.” Effective, non-abrasive, full-diameter texturing offers sure grip, and forward finger rests also received thoughtful treatment. Vorhees and I put hundreds of rounds through a pair of GX4s on a chilly south-Georgia morning, and I quickly became impressed. It wasn’t until I shot the GX4 that I really came to appreciate its virtues. I could find no fault with it but it didn’t blow me away. ![]() It was compact, the controls made sense and the grip felt comfortable. On most days, I carry a subcompact in the same product category as the new Taurus, so the basics of the design were already familiar to me. My first look at the GX4 took place at Taurus USA’s impressive new facility in Bainbridge, Georgia - several months before its public release. As Vorhees put it, “This is not a competition gun or a duty gun, it is a concealed carry gun and was designed as such.” With 30 fewer parts than a G3C, it is an entirely new handgun altogether, one built for a specific purpose. The GX4 was engineered from the ground up to be different. It would have been easy for Taurus to make a few tweaks to its subcompact G3C 9mm and release it in 2021, but that’s not the route the company took. Most “new” guns are natural evolutions of existing designs new caliber, new barrel length, new look, for example. The new flat-face unit is noticeably less “squishy” than the current standard for polymer-framed pistols, and bests previous Taurus designs. × A standout feature of the GX4 is its 6-pound trigger. Out of that mindset came the GX4, a subcompact double-stack 9mm that rivals the P365, Hellcat and Max-9. Under Vorhees, the company no longer seeks to build the best gun at a given price point, but the best gun that it can. Taurus has always been a brand that was considered a great value among its peers. There were other more fundamental changes. For the GX4, that means 11 rounds in its flush-fit magazine. The appeal of the trending 9mm micro-compacts is the minimal profile, which facilitates concealed carry and ample magazine capacity. ![]() When Vorhees took the helm, the average turnaround time for a warranty repair was 22 weeks it’s now just four days. There’s a priority in honoring the company’s lifetime warranty. Among the more tangible examples is a revamping of the customer service department. Vorhees came on board from Walther in January 2020, and made changes throughout the organization. Under the leadership of CEO Bret Vorhees, the pace of change at Taurus USA has increased dramatically. For one, it represents a change in Taurus’ identity. You can find the handy, versatile G2C at C-A-L Ranch Stores while supplies last.The GX4 is significant for several reasons. Trust the professionals at Taurus to meet all of your compact pistol needs. Featuring an accessory rail, re-strike capability, an adjustable rear sight and a fixed front sight. Safety features include a loaded chamber indicator, manual safety, striker block and trigger safety. The magazine capacity is an impressive 12 rounds. The streamlined, ergonomic engineering coupled with the sleek polymer frame offer you the perfect balance between convenience and performance. The barrel length is only 3.2", making this firearm ideal for small holsters and concealed carry. ![]() It is also ideal for home protection, target practice, training and more. This handgun was designed specifically for everyday carry. The Taurus G2c 9mm Luger is an outstanding micro-compact pistol available at an affordable price. ![]()
