S&W, XDs are good pistols no doubt. But Taurus is not the same as it was years ago. I have a PT1911 that has about 700 rounds through it and it has never jammed, stove piped or otherwise malfunctioned. And off a rest it will dump a full magazine into a 1 1/2" ragged hole at 25 meters. But as a CC gun, it is a bit large. My personal CCs are (depending on how I am dressed) is a Bersa Thunder .380 which is tucked in my waist band behind my hip ormy Steyr M40 40 S&W in a Roy Graham Custom paddle holster. This holster holds the pistol high and tight and even under a loose fitting T shirt is unnoticable.
The .45 gets carried when I am doing some hiking or go to the camp. The Crimson Trace laser grips on it are a plus at night.
