Just picked up a Springfield XD40 myself to go with my Sig.
I am still contemplating a purchasing a full size in the near future.

I have a 9mm Taurus that i LOVE. it is easy to shoot and accurate. Price was awesome too. I think they make some great quality stuff.

I have the Taurus PT24/7 Pro in 9mm. I really like it. Easy trigger pull, easy to clean. Mine has a little bit of slack in the trigger that could probably be adjusted. I am used to it and you can feel when you hit the "sweet spot" in the trigger pull so it is easy to adjust your aim. I will definitely be looking at other Taurus's in the future.

The more I read about the Taurus stuff the less I wanted to buy them.

Different strokes I guess. I dislike glocks and sigmas. The trigger pull is to stiff. I'm much more accurate with the taurus.

Fair enoug. I've never fired a Taurus so I have no first hand knowledge. What I've read is split down the middle. A lot of love but a lot of hate too.
