Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > Very distinct wall you've heard me talk about that enough that you know I like that and then it breaks cleanly at that wall. > > — [hickok45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHLtSq776Xk&t=356s) > Seeing how Taurus treated me just as a you know regular customer I've lost some faith in Taurus. > > — [Hegshot87](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9qXfXVEkso&t=507s) > The the brake with my large hand of the trigger was pretty far rearward which exaggerated the problem with my hand the challenge with my big hand this one is not like that at all. > > — [hickok45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHLtSq776Xk&t=388s) > I think I probably can shoot it about as well as any of these because the trigger breaks where I need for it to break. > > — [hickok45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHLtSq776Xk&t=650s) > I think one negative I get I do get a little bit of that trigger pinch. > > — [hickok45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHLtSq776Xk&t=1023s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* Community feedback on the Taurus GX4 TORO with light covers several recurring points. Size and carry weight get consistent positive remarks. The micro-compact dimensions work well for appendix or pocket carry, and 18.5 oz. unloaded is easy to manage through a full day. The grip texture is generally well-liked, with good traction for the frame size, though shooters with larger hands sometimes find it slightly cramped. The optics-ready cut is a real draw at this price point. Owners appreciate getting a factory slide cut without paying a premium for milling, and most report that common red dot footprints fit correctly. Price is the GX4 TORO's clearest competitive advantage. It consistently comes in below comparable micro-compacts from other manufacturers, and most owners feel the feature set justifies the cost. Reliability gets mostly positive marks after break-in. Some owners report minor feeding hiccups with certain hollow-point loads in the first few hundred rounds; most report the issues resolve with round count. It is not a universal complaint, but it is common enough to be on your radar. Trigger feedback is split. The pull is described as smooth by some and mushy by others. The reset is shorter than some competitors. Whether it bothers you depends on what you're used to. The included Crimson Trace light is seen as a practical addition for home defense use, though a few owners note that the activation switch placement requires a deliberate grip to avoid accidental activation. Taurus customer service remains mixed in community discussions, consistent with the brand's broader reputation. ## Pricing **5 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Kygunco Com | $423.82 | | Classicfirearms Com | $425.54 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $428.95 | | Buds Gun Shop | $431.49 | | Gritrsports Com | $443.99 | ## Similar Products - [Taurus GX4 TORO 9mm Optics-Ready Compact Pistol - OD Green](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-gx4-toro-9mm-optics-ready-compact-pistol-od-green/UCClj86Yd) - [Taurus GX4 9mm Compact Camo Semi-Auto Pistol, 11+1 Capacity](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-gx4-9mm-compact-camo-semi-auto-pistol-11-1-capacity/UCClj879y) - [Taurus GX4 Compact 9mm Pistol - Green Slide, Black Frame](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-gx4-compact-9mm-pistol-green-slide-black-frame/UCClj86HY) - [Taurus GX4 OD Green/Black 9mm Compact Carry Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-gx4-od-green-black-9mm-compact-carry-pistol/UCClj86YM) - [Taurus GX4 TORO Optics-Ready 9mm Micro-Compact Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-gx4-toro-optics-ready-9mm-micro-compact-pistol/UCClj6m7w) - [Taurus GX4 TORO 9mm Optic-Ready Pistol - Gold Barrel, Black Finish](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-gx4-toro-9mm-optic-ready-pistol-gold-barrel-black-finish/UCClj86pJ) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
