I'm looking at getting a Taurus 24/7 in .40 S&W for home protection and also carry possible, looking at the compact model. I like the fact it has a high capacity mag and also reverts to double action if a round fails to fire allowing you to drop the firing pin on that round a second time and hopefully it goes.

I don't have a big budget so I can't spring for a kimber or glock, althought I wish I could afford a nicer gun funds just don't allow it.

I would also be carrying it when I go hunting in the fall for deer as a side arm, most dangerous thing I have to worry about where I hunt are black bears and I hardly see them around.
