My G3C was the same way, low and left! But after a few hundred rounds it got better. I did replace my front sight with a HiViz fiber optic that is a little lower and also is longer so it comes back up the slide further which also shortens the front sight view. I had to take it off and on a few times and do some file work to make it tighten up nice but man its so much nicer! Filed the screw shorter and filed the new sight base lower profile so the screw would tighten it to the slide. Anyway lol I do think you're right on the pinky extension will help accuracy! Sweeet though, just have to get used to it like any new handgun.

I haven't shot a CSX so can't really say a whole lot, but it does feel nice to hold. I don't know if you heard, but Taurus has actually issued a recall on some of the GX4's because of firing when dropped. Mine wasn't on the list but just a heads up.

Good review...thanks. I bought my GX4 for my NEW EDC. Wasn't looking for a firearm that was Red Dot Optics ready or had a 'rail'. I wanted a small 9mm that would be the best for self defense, concealment, yet have quality and be dependable. I wasn't going to be in any shooting competition with the GX4 as I have other firearms for that. Purchased the GX4 at my local Scheels and got the last one in stock at that time. 329.00 Put the Amerigo Glow Dot front sight on and a big+ over the white factory front sight. 29.95 Received the pinky extensions (2) for the two 11 rd mags that were included and that completed the grip for me....good to go with my pinky on board. 9.98 Of course my 13 rd mag has the extension. Got my Taurus GX4 IWB Holster from CYA Supply Co. Liked it so much got another for my Sig P238. That's all I needed to do to get the GX4 the way I wanted it on my hip.

Very nice. sounds like you got it setup right! That's a great price on it too. I got the pinky extensions and 13 round mags in for this one but haven't had a chance to get out and run some more rounds through it just yet.

I think you did it well considering it was right out of the box.. I don't like that it takes a tool or bullet to break down while no big deal I just don't like it. Seems like a step backwards in that regard and on the heels of the G3C with 3. 12 round magazines and $75. Less money unless I am missing something I don't see the attraction. But good shooting and good video Tools! I'm really not a fan of any of these micro nines just since you asked. But I know you like the 365.

@@ToolsandTargets I know these guns are extremely popular now and everybody is making them but what led you to GX4 over the G3C? Or do you have one too? The companies can't hardly get new models out fast enough. That's how it seems to me. You know from Taurus to RUGER to S & W even Sig(how many different 365 models?) to Springfield and everybody else. Again I think you shot well! Better than me for sure! Right out of the box!
@ToolsandTargets3 жыл бұрын
@@buzsalmon The size alone is why I would go with this over the G3C. I'm the type who wants ultimate concealability if I'm going concealed. If I wanted to go up a size, I'd just carry a Glock 19 to be honest. That's why I also think it defeats the whole purpose when I see people take these micro carry guns and stick optics on em. Sure you can still conceal them, I can conceal a 1911 if I need to but there's no comparison to how easily concealed these new small guns are.

its tough to find a micro compact that you can get a full grip on, I know for me that's true, My son has the p365 and I cant get my pinky on even with the extended mag, my max-9 i can but just barely, then my lcp-max no go but I pretty much expect that in a micro compact. they give you just enough to have a defense gun.
