Besides the opinions of my buddies I'm also turning to different forums that I lurk in for opinions for a daily carry.
Right now the only handgun I have is an RIA 1911 Tactical .45ACP. I just got my CPL and now I'm looking for another handgun that can be used as a daily carry. So far I've narrowed it down to 4 guns: Taurus 740 Slim, SA XD40 subcompact, S&W M&P40c, and a Glock 27.
Of the 4 guns, I've recently handled and fired a few XD series guns and really like them. They feel and fire very good, and are accurate.
As for the Glock 27, I've only put that on my list to keep my options open. Of the Glocks I've handled in the past I didn't like the feel of the grip, but the big thing is a lack of a safety other than the trigger safety system. This is a concern for me because I've heard/read of an above average number of accidental discharges with Glocks...yes, I know a gun is only as safe as the shooter, but it's still a concern.
I have no experience with the S&W M&P40c or the Taurus 740 Slim. But I've heard and read nothing but good things about both.
Thanks in advanced...Vince
