Making the Taurus GX4 Better Part 2: With Accessories from Lakeline LLC and CYA Supply Co.

[@kirklewit]

I ordered the ported barrel from Lakeline for my GX4. I was not prompted for insurance, hence I did not take insurance on shipping. I did receive my barrel within about seven business days. I am extremely happy with their product. I am also very happy with your product reviews. Please continue to inform us with the latest products, God bless.

I purchased the UM holster awhile back for my GX4 and was happy carrying with it. Always looking for improvements, in anything, I ordered and now have the GX4 holster from CYA Supply. Everything you mentioned I agree with and it is a definate 'improvement' from the UM. It is not only more comfortable but it does cover more weapon including the mag release, prints less and I really like the forward cant. Thanks for what you do whether one agrees with you or not it is very good info.

[@krashdude1]

Great videos on the GX4. I bought this little guy specifically for pocket carry in a Remora holster. It works great, just like the Hellcat. Once you get into a bigger footprint than the GX4, Hellcat and regular P365, you basically have a belt gun or waist line gun. There are lots of options for that. Pocket carry works for my every day routine at 5'8" and 158 pounds. Plus on two occasions these last few years, it looked as though something bad was about to unfold and I just calmly put my hand in my pocket, and observed without calling ANY attention to the situation. Both situations sort of dissolved luckily, but nobody was the wiser. These pocket nines provide us with excellent options. My 2 cents.

You should be happy with the gx4. Had mine 8 days after its release and absolutely love it. I no longer want for the 365. Also it has yet to fail with 300 rounds of various ammo including steel cased

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Somehow I missed this one Lenny

[@brentobert6777]

Thanks for sharing this. The Taurus mag extension works fine for me... But, I completely agree with you about the holster on the Taurus site. For me, it's basically unusable because it carries too high. I use a sticky holster. Very comfortable... I basically forget I'm carrying... Love my GX4.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

At first I was thinking perhaps mount the UM TACTICAL holster in the car somehow or to the bed frame, but then I decided I'll give mine away.

[@timmorgan7482]

Which Sticky holster do you have? I just purchased a GX4 and the SM-5 that my wife carries her P365 in seems to be a good fit.

[@brentobert6777]

I got my sticky holster for my gx4 almost a year ago. The recommended size was too tight IMO... so I exchanged it for one size up which I'm happy with. It has loosened a bit over time... so, the recommended size will probably also work after some break in. Personally, I like to be able to get the gun out easily... and I've never felt like the gun isn't secure in the +1 size. You can find size charts online.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

I think it's awesome when viewers use this platform for sharing and dialog with each other. Thanks for keeping the ball rolling!

[@billvann8193]

Thanks for the video- I just purchased a gx4 and was thinking about buying the pinky extenders since I have bigger hands- after seeing this I purchased the 13 round mag and will have to do more homework when it comes to purchasing the mag extenders. I also purchased a cya holster before watching this video which makes me feel better about my decision - thanks for the content !

I purchased my GX4 online. It was still in transit when watched your video. I ordered the magazine extension from lakeline LLC and received it before the gun made it to the FFL. Picked it up today and installed the extension. I like it. One thing I noticed was the play you mentioned was present in the stock magazine also. The lakeline llc extension was almost too tight. Trying to decide on a concealed holster now. Thank you for the reviews.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

I hope it works out for you. The GX4 is a good platform, hopefully Lakeline has gotten the bugs worked out.

[@timmorgan7482]

@@JayLewisFarmStyle Thanks. They do need to refine the extension. But not much. It locks a bit tighter fully loaded than the stock mag does. But the base plate has more side to side play as you noted in your review.

[@MrBuckeye63]

Waiting on the arrival of my GX4 .. instead of going with pinky extension.. I ordered two 13rd magazines from KYGUNCO… ( same place I ordered my GX4) I also see Taurus offers a +2 extension and spring for the 11rd mag I most likely will order a the +2 extension and front NS from Taurus… Thanks for the information on the holster…

[@rotadyma]

Bill, that’s what I did. I ordered two 13 round mags and two of the +2 and springs for my stock mags that came with the gun. So I’ve got 4 - 13 round mags with full grip. Also did the same and got the front sight from Taurus. Also my holster is simply a Sticky holster. Fits perfect and very comfortable.

Was a very informative video as I just got a gx4 and am looking for a holster. A guy makes them about 20 miles away to what ever gun you have as he needs to keep said gun till he's done. However I've been other than satisfied with his before

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

One thing to consider with striker fired handguns; while not a hard and fast rule, I adhere to it. That is to stick with hard sided holsters, preferably kydex. Soft nylon or leather doesn't isolate the trigger guard like a rigid holster does. Thanks for watching!

I have had a bunch of iwb holsters for several different carry guns and I always hate the ones that don't ride deep enough. I have sold great guns in the past because of the issue and hadn't caught on to the real issue. Now days I make sure the belt line is behind the trigger guard so it rides low enough for my liking. Etsy usually has someone that makes one like I like.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Agreed indeed! If it doesn't fit right, or is uncomfortable most folks won't carry it.

[@Iceberg82]

🔥👍🏼Thanks for the great video!! Likely a dumb question here but with the LakeLine barrels I get the reason for the ported and threaded barrels for the GX4 and G3C. They also have a G3C standard barrel that does not stick out pass slide. So my question is what is point of getting a standard LakeLine barrel other then for looks? really appreciate your help and response. I asked LakeLine about a standard barrel for the GX4 and they said about 6-8 weeks as they being made now.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

While swapping to an extended and/or threaded barrel for the sake of adding a muzzle device or built in compensator makes sense, to do a barrel swap for the sake of swapping to a "speed part" in most cases for most people would be of minimal benefit. The finish on the Lakeline barrel is probably better than that of the factory part, but again how much would that help most users? Neither the G3 or G4 series would be what I would call target or match grade pistols, so adding a match grade barrel to either of those platforms would only help so much. Just my two cents.

I've noticed carrying with the holster at an angle like that makes all the difference. The G4 is so much easier to manage than my G3xl. Of course now they have the G4xl which made me want to kick the dog but then I figured I could just buy them all. It's Taurus!!! Lakeline seems to be doing a better job than not. More people like them than dislike them. When I do get my ported barrel I will probably use them. We will see.

Good morning, I may be a little late to the party .. I currently have the g2c as well as the Glock 43 and s&w bodyguard pocket pistol !! But the bodyguard is 380 nothing wrong with that just like a lil extra punch but is great for less clothes days since in fl ,, and I do love the g43 but not crazy about having to cary extra mag !! But the g2 and people may dis agree but I’ll trust my life and family with it do to never having any problems after approx 1k rounds and not one problem with various ammo .. sorry for going around my elbow to get from pinky to thumb !! ? Is i been looking at the g4 and wondering if there is enough difference between the two . To justify taking that step and spending monsoon new or doing some upgrades to the g2 ? Also as a preacher I appreciate you always adding God to your videos .. thanks for any positive feedback and may God bless you.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Pastor Carl, thanks for sharing brother! I used to carry a glock 42 (380 auto/ 7 round capacity) as a shorts and flip flops gun. I felt as you do that there were better options for practical self defense with a 9 mm over the 380. My 1st "Micro-9" was the P365. While it was significantly heavier than the Glock 42 the overall footprint wasn't much larger and I wasn't sure if the extra weight from the P365 would bother me. What I found after just a couple of months was that I liked the P365 so much that I never carried the 42 anymore. That being said I sold it at a local gun shop and used the money to purchase the Taurus GX4 as it was brand new to the market. I am not sure if you have handled or messed around with the GX4 yet, but one common misconception of folks who haven't seen 1 in real life is they think it is a newer edition of the G2C/G3C platform. The GX4 being its own platform is incredibly similar in size and weight and feel to the Sig P365. I carry the GX4 just as often as I carry the P365. While the Sig has a slight edge in overall fit and finish it also has a $200 premium over the GX4. In my opinion the GX4 is a very nice pistol and is arguably the most refined pistol Taurus has ever come out with. I hope you get the chance to handle/shoot one and I believe it will convince you to buy 1.

[@carltickle561]

Mr. Lewis , thanks for the reply will be going by my local store and checking out !! I had heard mixed reviews but seining them side by side made a world of difference . Taurus has come a long way and knock on wood I personally have only ever had one bad one witch was the I believe the tcp 380 the ruger copy the safest place was in front of that gun lol. Anyway as a heads up for a short and t ship day I personally found the s&w m&p bodyguard 380 for pocket cary to be very worthwhile ,,, the only two things I can say negative and definitely not deal breakers is the limited 6+1 witch I found out the hard way had wife swing by a local shop and pick up 2 extended mags with extenders on them salesman told me they were 8 round with the extenders come to find out aftermarket 6 round mag with grip extenders on them looked like you put a 30 round clip in a Glock 42 lol what I get for not going myself.. anyway the standard are fine just no place for pinky is other down side but for ccw fits great in pocket or kydex and lite as a feather anyway thanks for feedback God bless you and all the subscribers ..

I still haven't bought the GX4 since this video came out 6 months ago, but, the vid popped up and I watched it again. With either of those holsters, how do you get a full three finger master grip between the top of your belt and the front/bottom of the pistol grip for a sub 2 second draw to first shot on target? The open space looks too small to smoothly and rapidly get the fingers completely wrapped around the pistol.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

I'm trying to decide between the P365 and the Gx4 which would you recommend price aside.

I love both, and haven't had issues with either. P365 is finished off a little better, feels better in my hand, and ultimately I find myself carrying it more often. I'd say get whichever feels better in your hand.

[@wahivalleys3011]

I'm curious about the Lakeline Extension, and you did show it briefly, and talk about it extensively with regards to "purchase," but I would have really like to "see" more of the pistol with the angled extension.

Sorry I forgot to mention a must for me when it comes to my belts..a steel core is a must. No steel no sale.

I jus bought the new gx4 and I really like it, but why is it so hard to rack?

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Here's the short answer in my opinion, based on my observation. It's tiny, and handles quite a bit of energy for something that small. That energy is mitigated by the spring technology. While it is somewhat necessarily stiff, I find it no worse than the Sig P365, and easier to rack than the Ruger Max-9. This is what absorbs the recoil and therefore keeps it from being snappy, and painful to shoot. I think you will find does get easier with practice and is worth the effort! Congrats on your purchase and thanks for watching!

I just bought the gx4 looking for a holster since the gun sits lower in the cya when drawing the gun can you still get a good grip sitting that low

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Short answer: Yes you can. Longer answer: Understand however that carrying, drawing, and shooting a micro compact pistol cannot be compared directly to carrying, drawing, and shooting a larger platform. There is a trade off. Micros are easier to carry, but require more attention when it comes to carrying, drawing, and shooting. It's simple really but seems to be overlooked by some. If you choose to acquire a micro compact for carry purposes you need to decide on how it will be carried then train for proficiency. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

I watched your previous video, along with some other people's videos, which described the Taurus brand pinky extension as being a bit anemic. For me, I could get half my pinky on the stock baseplate, so I figured it the extension would work for me. I picked it up and it's perfect. It barely adds any length, just enough to get a full grip with my pinky. Good video, just wanted to get my experiences out there for people who may be deciding what to get! Edit I also just ordered the CYA holster, I've used them in the past and had good luck, thanks for the recommendation on it for this firearm!

Thanks for watching brother!

[@traumajock]

I don't care for IWB. I find it uncomfortable, and I can easily conceal a full size, let alone micro, under an untucked shirt. I found a Tagua 1836 leather paddleback that works with my P365XL Romeo and my GX4. As far as pinky extensions..I like the GX4 for its capacity and concealability. I have to conceal at work and it fits great in a cargo pocket. A pinky extension might make it harder to close the pocket flap. I'd need to see the Lakeline extension on it and next to a P365XL to know. I'd like to try one to see if it affects my accuracy. At the range, I found I was adequately accurate at common self-defense distances with an unmodified GX4. I still plan to put an Ameriglo on the front.

I'm at a crossroads with what to do about the GX4, because not having a pinky extension bothers me. About to watch your part 3 video, but I'm glad you made this one to illustrate how the one from Taurus doesn't work well.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Thanks for watching! As an update to this video: I'm not impressed with the Lakeline LLC 3D printed parts either. One of the last videos I did shows the 15 round extension failure. I wish they were better quality.

How is the lakeline front sight working out?

I've got the Ameriglo Night Sight installed. It's great. The only Lakeline part I've purchased was the magazine extension.

Just found your channel great job. I think the way you say "simuler" is similar to the way I say say it.lol. Thinking about buying a Gx4 thanks for the info.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Thanks for watching! I think the GX4 is the best deal out there in terms of value:quality. Mine is an early one and still working as it should. Here's a link to the end of year review video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ3Jo5l8fpmoptU

[@nathanielhart2846]

As we know, no one solution works for everyone. The GX4 fits nicely in a ComfortTac belly band holster. If you’re experiencing much printing, an inexpensive elastic belt seems to be the trick. Not only does it seem to avoid pushing the holster up the waste/torso, but it makes tucking everything back in where it fits properly, exponentially easier. As a plus, the belt can provide just enough stretch to eliminate a substantial amount of being poked. Combined, you can have a fairly comfortable EDC setup (none are perfect), that’s tightly concealed with almost zero printing for $35-55. For whatever that’s worth…

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

Thanks for sharing 👍

How's the front night sight working out for you?

got the gx4 was looking for a good holster buy ill check out cya

I doubt you'll be disappointed!

[@joeflowers9084]

Have you tried to induce the trigger issue where the striker only gets released late (or not at all)? So many people have been able to recreate the issue (or almost been injured by the problem) that it makes me think there's a design issue.

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

I have. I'll be doing an update video on that subject very soon. I'll post the link here for you when it's ready.

Do you think the g x four is pocket carry size

[@JayLewisFarmStyle]

It depends on the size of your pockets but yes I do. I carry it that way easily. I recommend Alabama pocket holsters.

Good stuff man, your videos are always so informative. Wish I could find a GX4 for up here in Alaska

[@PaulDo22]

Why can't you ship one?

[@jeffs6272]

The holster from shop taurus can be adjusted to have a 15° cant. also. It does sit a little high but it helps conceal it a little better. But, I think I would like to try the holster you mentioned. Also, for me, the Taurus pinky extender works great. I do, however have a slightly skinnier hand than you. Other than that, I'm starting to love this micro.
