A guy I work with is wanting to trade his Taurus TH40 with two extra magazines and magazine loader for my Springfield XD subcompact also chambered in .40 S&W. Would I be cheating myself?
To me you would come out the loser but, do you like the Taurus better for some reason? I mean it's your gun, so if for some reason you like the one better, and with this panic going on can't buy one? Why not I guess.A guy I work with is wanting to trade his Taurus TH40 with two extra magazines and magazine loader for my Springfield XD subcompact also chambered in .40 S&W.

Different model and platform altogether than what the OP is interested in... The XD line has been out for years, it's based on an older and proven design, it was at one point issued by L.E., and they're made overseas in croatia whereas I believe their 1911s are made/assembled in the U.S.... Apples and oranges...Idk the only Springfield I ran stunk. Have fired and owned several Taurus. I know that mistakes happen. Maybe they let a dud slip through QC. It was a compact 1911 can't remember model. Wouldn't make it through a mag without jamming. Stove pipe, double feed, failed to eject. Tried different mags, ammo. Same thing.
Yeah I haven't handled or fired many. That one had me swearing them off. This was 2008. Maybe it's time to give them another shot. Idk Taurus are cheaper ones I've had worked. CS is junk. That's why I love Ruger and hi point. Best CS I've found.Different model and platform altogether than what the OP is interested in...
