Welcome to the forum.
I am curious though.
You are looking for a compact pistol for carry.
Noticed the list of pistols you do have.
Why not go with a compact version of the pistols brands, makes, and models you already have? Specifically the XD, S&W M&P, or a S&W 990L.
Here's the reasoning. You are already familiar with the manual of arms for these guns. Or there is little difference in the manual of arms or the fit and function of said pistols mentioned here. S&W 990L is alike in many ways to the M&P
Yes, I know the XD is SA. That does not mean that a DAO version should be forgotten. You have experience with these. Adjusting to DAO trigger, since you have experience with these on other models, would not take much training to be come proficient.
Commonality means less effort and mindset change to fire the gun accurately when needed. In a adrenalin dump,fight or flight, under extreme duress, fine motor skill loss moment in a fight, one has fractions of, or seconds to draw and fire accurately to end the fight and win. Otherwise death or grave harm occur to the victim gun owner.
While I do advocate the use of Taurus pistols normally, there are enough reasons to recommend the other pistols. Especially if they fit you and your needs.
S&W and XDs come with grips that can be adjusted to fit the hand.
If the pistols have safeties these may very well be taken off safe in a totally different way on the Taurus models that have them. That would have grave consequences in a fight if off safing is done in the wrong way.
There are the PT111 series and 24/7 compact pistols to look at.
These are fine firearms and give their owners very good service. This despite "conventional wisdom" to the contrary at other gun forums. More and more actual owners are coming forward and proving that the Taurus pistols do work well.
The internet abounds with threads and posts of the troubles of fit and function of other brands. This does not mean they are all pieces of junk either. Nor does it condemn a company. Mechanical tools wear out, break, need parts replaced and tweaked,and need regular maintenance. Guns fall into this bracket.
Let it also be stated that the trigger pull on all DAO pistols are totally different even though they operate in an alike way. Trigger pull for each type,brand,make, and model vary in technique and method of trigger release and follow through.
So get as much experience with the actual guns before making a choice.
We staff and members can advise only somewhat on choices.
I do own a PT111 Millennium Pro. It has thousands of rounds through it and is giving excellent service.
Taurus products that I have (4 revolvers and 2 pistols) have been dureable, accurate, and function well. Others here will back that up with their experiences.
Whether this is a good choice for you remains to be seen.What fits us may not fit you.
Ask away.This forum has a very knowledgeable, friendly staff and members.
