        Editor’s Note: "The Toro is Taurus red dot ready version of the GX4. Not only does it run a red dot, but it has a mag extender giving a total capacity of 13+1. Its magazine release was a little shallow, but it’s billed as a carry gun, and carry guns typically include smaller controls. With practice we got used to it and the mags cleared freely when dropped. The magazine extension adds round and also makes the gun easier to handle. As far as shooting, it feels <strong>way less snappy</strong> than we anticipated. Overall, we liked it!" - Sean Curtis

        FINAL VERDICT

        "The overall experience with the GX4 Toro was pleasant and we found ourselves admiring the little gun. During a test of around 200 rounds, it didn’t have any malfunctions. In some ways, the Toro version hits that Goldilocks spot of not too big, and not too small. The GX4 also occupies a wallet-friendly space for budget-minded consumers." - Sean Curtis

        For what it is, it’s not bad at all. Grip feels good. Slide is easy to get ahold of. Not bad.
