Kahr?

Other than that?

I want to stick with a striker fired weapon just because I like the style better, and also don't want to have an external safety. I like any combination of trigger + grip safety. Besides the Glocks and XD 45 subcompact, are there any other makes and models out there that meet these specifications that I am unaware of?

Taurus 24/7 Compact DS. Have them in 9mm, .40 and .45 for $299.99 at CDNN. Great shooters!

I have a Kahr P45 if you are interested. And excellent striker fired 45 that is as flat as a pancake!

I sure wish I could find this model on Taurus' website but they aren't making it easy. Is there another model number it goes by?

here is one at Buds for example. But again, CDNN has them in stainless for $299.99.

That is the full-sized version. great gun though, I have that one as well for home defense.

You have a couple Tauri to choose from.

24/7 Pro DS/C http://www.taurususa.com/product-detail ... series=247
Millenium Pro http://www.taurususa.com/product-detail ... umbseries=

I have a Milpro in .40 and it's run like a champ since day 1. The single stack slims are only up to .40. I thought they had a .45 also.

Millenium has had numerous issues. The compact almost none. It comes with a pic rail so you can mount a streamlight and/or laser. The compact from CDNN has the comfortable ribber grips, the Millenium does not.

I've got the Taurus and I absolutely love it. The other gun I compared when I was shopping was the Glock 36. The Glock cost more, holds fewer rounds and does not have second strike capability. The Taurus won hands down. I am very happy with my choice of the Taurus PT 24/7 Pro C DS.

I actually rented a Glock 26 the other day at the range, and shot it right after my Taurus and though I thought I would like the 26 (9mm vs of the 36) I did not like it at all. Not Glock bashing, I know many love it...just wasn't for me. Hurt my hand, but I shot 800 rounds in the Taurus in 8 hours, no problems. Well, barrel was hot, but yeah :))

M&P or G30sf or G36. I like the Kahrs as well.

I guess with any gun you can get a lemon. Some people swear by them but I had a Millinium Pro PT145 and it was a piece of junk. One of the magazines that came with it was faulty and Taurus replaced it with no problem - they have excellant customer service. It would have a failure to feed at least one per magazine when I first got it and only improved to maybe every other mag after about 500 rounds. The mag release was positioned in a way where I would inadvertantly push the release and drop the mag while firing. I may consider a Taurus revolver someday but I will personally stay away from Taurus semi-auto's in the future.
