Pistol to buy???

[huntinbuddy]

I was just wondering which pistol you all think i (my step-dad) should get. The Springfield XD, Taurus 24/7, or the Ruger P345 all of these in 45 caliber. I was just wondering if anyone owned shot or heard things about these. We would just be using them for home defense (sort of we live in a great neighborhood so i dont think so, but its always nice to have a plan), casual shooting, and just another gun to add to the collection, and what is the best price you have seen any of these guns for and where.

Thanks
