Over the years, Taurus has had a good/bad reputation with it's semi autos and it looks like something new has come up. I don't personally own a Taurus, but some of you out there might, so just a quick heads up to a potential hazard.

Keep your head on a swivel and practice, practice, practice.

www.shootingillustrated.com...#:~:text=Taurus%20has%20learned%20that%20some,stop%20using%20their%20GX4% 20immediately.



Taurus has learned that some of its GX4 pistols assembled and sold in the United States may, under certain circumstances, discharge when dropped. For that reason, the company has issued a safety notice urging owners to safely unload and stop using their GX4 immediately. They should then visit GX4SafetyNotice.com.

thanks for this. I have a GX4. It's a cool little "glockish" 9mm that fits in your pocket. I'll try to update what resolution they offer.

Discharged when dropped?

Just more confirmation why I don't buy Taurus. You're better off spending the extra money on a Glock, Beretta, or Springfield.

Mine is not part of the recall. It may be earlier one's that are affected.

I just got rid of 1,....would jam constantly. Now daily carry is Ruger SP 101 357 Mag revolver. Honestly the rev is more dependable than my autos Glock, Ruger, Taurus.

I have only put about 300 rounds through mine, but I have had no issues, and it's not hard to shoot. The compact nature of it, along with 11 shots makes it an interesting weapon. I am impressed with Taurus as of late. I really like the TX22. So much so, that I bought the wife a purple one.

My G3c ha seen hundreds of rounds through it, not a single jam or malfunction. It’s actually got my favorite trigger for a pistol, smooth all the way through.

Is it the nicest pistol ever? No. But it’s a nice plinker, and an ideal candidate for a piece you can leave in your vehicle and not be out a lot of money if it got stolen.

I like the reliability of Glock, but the no safety aspect runs me the wrong way. For the nicer pistols, I like some of the other brands for composites.

I bought my wife a pink G2s back in 2020 and haven't had issues out of it. I carry a Stoeger STR-9.

I've been carrying a G19 Gen 4 since they came out and have never had an issue, even though I've ran some of the crappiest ammo I could find. How does the STR-9 compare ?
Trigger, recoil, etc...
Been looking at them, but haven't made up my mind yet.

Thanks for the heads up.

I own a G2C and a G3C, they're my conceal carry compacts. Never had any issues.

I carry a SigP229. Just something about being able to decock the hammer. I'm not too fond of striker-fired pistols for this very fact.
