Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GX4 XL compatible with standard GX4 holsters?
Due to the longer slide and grip, the GX4 XL typically requires a holster specifically molded for the XL model. Some holsters designed for the standard GX4 may not accommodate the extra length.
Does it have a manual safety?
This model features Taurus’s standard striker deactivation system but does not include a manual thumb safety. It utilizes internal safeties including a trigger safety and a striker block.
Are there any known compatibility issues?
We’ve found it runs flawlessly with OEM components. One return was due to a perceived issue that was traced to an aftermarket frame. For optimal reliability, we recommend using factory-original parts.
