How many rounds does the GX4 Carry .380 hold?

15+1 in .380 ACP — high capacity for a micro-compact carry pistol.

Is the GX4 Carry good for concealed carry?

Yes. The slim micro-compact frame conceals easily while still giving you real capacity and an optic option.

What barrel length does it have?

The GX4 Carry uses a 3.70-inch barrel.

Is the Taurus GX4 Carry optics-ready?

Yes. The T.O.R.O. slide is cut for Holosun K-series red dots, so you can mount an optic without machining the slide.

Yes. It is a complete firearm and ships to your local licensed FFL dealer for pickup and background check.

About this product

The Taurus GX4 Carry .380 answers a simple question: how do you get real capacity and a red dot in a pistol small enough to carry every day? What sets the GX4 Carry apart is the combination: a 3.70-inch barrel, a 15+1 magazine, and an out-of-the-box optics cut in a frame that still hides under a t-shirt.

Expert review

What sets the GX4 Carry apart is the combination: a 3.70-inch barrel, a 15+1 magazine, and an out-of-the-box optics cut in a frame that still hides under a t-shirt.

The soft-shooting .380 chambering keeps follow-up shots fast and controllable, so range time is productive rather than punishing.

For a first optics-ready carry gun, or a lightweight backup to a 9mm, it hits a sweet spot most micro-compacts miss.
