Looking for an everyday carry pistol you’ll take with you every day?

Let’s face it: Carrying open is relatively easy, but carrying concealed can be something of a trick, especially if you’re recreating during the summertime. Lighter fabrics and smaller garments can accidentally expose your everyday carry (EDC) rig with just the wrong summer breeze. That’s why many outdoorspeople–yours truly included–often simply use the same EDC pistol in the backwoods that we carry when we’re in populated areas. It’s just easier to remember to take with us every time … and after all, the microcompact 9mm you have on you is far better than the full-size .45 you left at home. So when Taurus released its GX4 pistol earlier this year, a double-stack microcompact carry pistol that has been stripped down to its bare bones, it generated a lot of interest!
