About This Firearm
The Taurus GX4 Carry stretches the GX4 micro-compact into a longer-grip, longer-slide carry pistol that holds 15 rounds while staying 1.08 inches wide. It is for the buyer cross-shopping the Hellcat Pro and P365 XL class who does not need an optic cut. It weighs 21.51 oz with a 3.7-inch barrel.
Taurus adds a Picatinny rail, three backstrap options and what it calls a Recoil Management Pad. The trigger is a flat-faced, serrated single-action design, and there is no manual safety. The Taurus GX4 is the shorter original, with four fewer rounds and a 3.06-inch barrel, at $360. The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro OSP matches the GX4 Carry's capacity and barrel, weighs 0.51 oz less and comes optic ready at $670. The Sig Sauer P365 XL holds 12, weighs 0.81 oz less and is optic ready.
Buy the GX4 Carry if you want Hellcat Pro capacity in a slim, iron-sighted carry gun with a rail and adjustable grip. Skip it if you plan to run a red dot; buy the Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro OSP instead.

Strengths & Limitations
- Hellcat Pro capacity in a slim, iron-sighted pistol.
- Taurus lists three backstrap options, so the grip fits a wider range of hands than a fixed grip.
- The Picatinny rail takes standard weapon lights, which the original GX4 frame does not.
- No optic cut on this SKU, while the Hellcat Pro OSP and P365 XL both come cut for a dot.
- Taurus has a safety notice for some U.S.-assembled GX4 pistols that may discharge if dropped. Run the serial number at gx4safetynotice.com before you carry any GX4, new or used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GX4 Carry affected by the GX4 safety notice?
Check your serial number. Taurus says some GX4 pistols assembled and sold only in the United States may discharge when dropped, tells owners of affected guns to stop using them, and will inspect and repair them free of charge. The notice does not list models by name, so the serial check is the way to know.
How is the GX4 Carry different from the regular GX4?
It has a longer grip and slide, holds more rounds, and adds a Picatinny rail. The standard GX4 is the smaller micro-compact.
Does the GX4 Carry have a manual safety?
No. It uses a striker block, a trigger safety and a visual loaded chamber indicator.
Can I mount a red dot on this GX4 Carry?
No. This SKU's slide is not cut for an optic, and the sights are a fixed front with a drift-adjustable rear.
What comes in the box?
Taurus lists two 15-round magazines. It also lists three backstrap options but does not say all three ship with the gun, so ask the dealer.
