Good choice, still have the XD on my short list, haven't any problems with the
taurus 24/7 in 40. I do worry about long term ware on those oh so comfortable grips.
But I love the trigger feel myself. Big long fingers don't mind a long pull I guess.
The idea of a child safety that can't be enabled till after you pull the trigger
I don't find very useful. But I don't plan on ever using that feature anyways.
Don't dry fire manual says, but you can't use child safety unless you dry fire it.
I guess you could put the gun in a vice to keep it from cycling and fire a round
to use it, but to much trouble for me. Teaching child proper gun safety is much
easier, safer, and deters the bad elements of society more than having a paper
weight in the house.
But lots more choices for holsters with the XD, have yet to find an active retention
for taurus, also never got my 1 year NRA free membership (what a loss that is).
But I bought it to have a hammerless, and a 40 cal size. for that it does both.
Plus to show the wife my criminal background doesn't prohibit me.
