Excellent review! A lot of reviewers make no mention of the back straps that are included with some guns, but you started right out by giving all the necessary info on the back straps. In my own opinion, all of the GX4 pistols have a great CCW trigger, short take-up with a short travel clean crisp 5 - 5.5 pound break. Keep the videos coming! New sub.

Dude! Best honest video out there for a review of a gun period!! For being someone new to gun ownership you and the wife are on a great start. Close up views you provided helped you stand out from the rest. The “hobby” comment made, “all good”. Every passion starts out as a hobby. Definitely looking forward to the other videos you have posted as well as those in the future. ❤

Thanks for the feedback and for watching! Yes I also carry the GX4!

Looks like what Glock should’ve done with their g43x/g48. The bump on the front of the grip is nice - my gx4 an obviously didn’t have one from the factory, but the Hogue grip I added made all the difference with grip for me. As for aiming your pistol, I’ve found that front sight focus (I know, a lot of shooters mention this, but not clearly explaining) and firm pressure with off hand keeps rounds on target for me. From what I saw in this video, you know and practice this. Your wife might benefit from slightly altering her grip with off hand and hooking her index finger on the flat front face of the trigger guard. I’ve found it helps me mitigate muzzle flip, and with practice I’ve improved speed and accuracy. Overall, great review.

Great format and production! Plus, really good shooting for a new person to the conceal carry/defensive shooting game! Glad you wife made those comments. I wonder if she rented a GX4 (regular or XL version)? That is why I have the original GX4, as it feels great while holding in hand, carrying on myself and shooting. I do wish Taurus made a 380 acp or 30 super carry version of any of its GX4 series though.

after 2 months its hovering around 400 now.

Dimensions near identical to Hellcat Pro I bought same day I also bought an original GX4. Was later surprised the smaller GX4 shot slightly more accurately in rapid fire. I'm thinking due to superior trigger, more defined sights, and a more swept back grip angle (much more like Glocks I've been used to shooting for years. )

It’s a little bigger but still carry capable

The finish hold up for you at all? Have heard a couple say that theirs is good, but it seems like the vast majority of people that carry them say they wear really bad really fast. I usually recommend that people consider the cost of Cerakote as part of the guns cost when they buy one, because they'll probably end up refinishing it in a couple months anyways when the gun looks really beat up from just a couple months of casual carry (not with any abuse of hard training or anything like that either). I wish the Graphene Cerakote could be purchased, so people could refinish their own guns with it. I'm not certain that it's as durable as they claim... but both Cerakote and Graphene are extremely tough materials. (I just hope it don't sparkle or shimmer like some of the pictures online. In videos I've seen it looks good/normal though, so I think it looks good and it's a nice dark gray color).

@PhatTactical
