Owning duplicate handguns, particularly identical models like the Taurus GX4, offers significant advantages for training and defense. Having a primary carry firearm and a secondary for home defense, or even two identical guns, ensures familiarity with grip, trigger, and operation. This redundancy allows for dedicated training with the carry model while maintaining a consistent feel for home defense, potentially with added accessories like weapon lights.
