    XD has no second strike capability and no hammer. That's 2 thumbs down on the XD for a defense pistol. Having had both Taurus and RIA in pieces, I'd go with the RIA.

    Taurus, in my opinion, makes good stuff. There guns are also lower priced.

    Yes, there are better 1911's out there like Kimber, etc, but you have to pay more to get them.

    So yes, I'd say Taurus makes good pistols

    This is going to be a long answer ........ No!

    (Me? I'd go with the Rock Island.)
