and when transferring from the primary keg to a second keg you can just hook up the gas line and push it out by co2 correct?? seems like it would work better than using glass carboys

For keg to keg transfer, the best way is to connect the kegs this way: black QD, beer line, black QD.

Then push with 2 psi via the gas line and QD on the first keg (don't move the first keg- that is key!!!!!). Since you're going "beer out" to "beer out", it will reduce foaming and splashing. Then, just pull the pressure relief valve on the receiving keg every once in a while to keep the beer flowing.

You can do that with carbonated or uncarbonated beer.
 
Yep, like Yooper said. I mostly use the blowoff method to keep everything completely sealed, but really just pulling the relief valve up like Gavin's pic is totally fine
