Manufacturer announcement: 2026-08-14.
A Taurus-issued release distributed August 14 announced a GX4 Carry model chambered in .380 Auto. The company described it as an additional chambering for the existing GX4 Carry platform, with dealer availability beginning August 13.
The release identifies three interchangeable backstraps, an accessory rail, optics-ready capability and a 15-round magazine capacity. Taurus attributes a more manageable shooting experience to the new chambering.
That claimed experience has not been independently evaluated by Gunfire. A chambering announcement also should not be treated as evidence that parts or magazines interchange with another version of the same product family.
This update reports the August release and preserves its announced availability date. The official Taurus website now features .380 Auto GX4 Carry configurations, but availability and specifications can vary by exact model. The manufacturer announcement below remains the source for the launch details.
