[Thanks! What holster do you wear and at what position?"]Howdy! Unlike A.R. I know everything, and shoot better than anyone on this forum, maybe on the entire internet...
Just kidding!
I've never owned a Taurus auto, but I did trust their revolvers enough to protect my wife and children (she carried a Taurus 650 - a hammerless .357 revolver) until she "stole"
my Glock 27 from me a few years ago. Actually I convinced her to "study" and practice with it and it is now her daily carry.
I purchased my first Glock in the early '90s - when I worked in a small gun shop and the infamous Luby's incident went down.
Here's the deal (IMHO):
If it fits your hand comfortably, you can't go wrong with a Glock. As A.R. said, as long as the trigger is covered by the holster it's a safe as a good 'ol DAO revolver.
If I didn't feel that way my G30 (the compact doublestack .45) wouldn't spend all day being carried "inside my waistband".
The design has been around a lot longer than the Taurus and subjected to all kinds of silly "torture" tests.
(Dropped from an airplane, dragged by a truck, buried in mud...the list goes on and on - and so do the test Glocks)
I'm not knocking any other brands/makes here - just sharing what I know.
Study the mechanical workings of a Glock - notice there are actually three safetys.
When it comes down to the math remember that if you are happy with your initial purchase you'll probably have what ever you decide on for years and years (kind of like getting married - perhaps even more intimate depending on your choice of carry methods).
FYI - there are ranges that rent guns, be sure to try out your potential "mate" prior to buying.
Personally, I really like and trust Glocks. I hope you find something you can feel as comfortable with.

Waiting on my CHL but just received my PIN. I have been looking at the Taurus Millenium Pro 45ACP versus the Glock 36 (over $200 premium for the Glock). I like the idea of the separate safety on the Taurus, versus the safety in the trigger on the Glock, but have never owned either gun. I was set on the Glock but am having second thoughts. Is it worth the extra money and is the "trigger safety" a real issue? Any guidance?
