Dead on reliable. I wasn't planning on replacing trigger springs but was given new springs. For me the gun got more accurate with new springs. This was my first polymer gun and I really like it and it's much better looking than a Glock.
Polish the slide and barrel, it’ll look awesome
9 or 40?
The S&W SD9VE is 16 in the mag
good luck getting the 16th round in there.
@@FirstLast-numba1you just need some range time with it I’ve put 600+ rounds through it and feeds all 16+1 in the chamber
i got it in there its just a bitch and a half.@@demonshideoutfxhub
You beat me to it I was going to say the same thing
Basically, that shows me how much he truly knows about this gun, not a darn thing.
My EDC, in 9mm, very comfortable to carry in a leather IWB and Super Reliable, smooth shooting. . Added a light/laser, some grips and a glove, Comes with 2 - 16 rounds mags & bought a 32 rnd long mag for added home defense. Even gold color filled the lettering on it. Oh yeah! It looks sweet too.
Call her “Mi Niña, My Nina.” (My 9a)
💪 I❤️2A
Where’d you get the 32rd mag?
I bought a S&W SD9VE in December 2022. Replaced The Guide rod with a stainless steel guide rod and a stainless steel slide lock/take down Tab. Upgrade parts found at NDZ Performance. I also upgraded to a Apex Trigger. I love it the way it shoots now. No problems at all.
Yes the SD9VE is as good as the Glock, if not better when one considers the 'for the money' price/value and the superior hand grip and point to shoot characteristics. IMHO
Agreed 100%
Agreed as well. Currently own both. Knock on wood but after a few thousand rounds my sd9ve is one of the few guns that has never had a single malfunction. My Glock has had a handful of them
SD is 16 plus 1.
Im almost 40 i had my sw9ve since I was in my 20s and i still carry it 😂 its my truck gun
The weapon is perfect in 40mm, lightweight, plus accurate. S&W Lifetime warranty is excellent.
You mean 40 caliber?
Capacity's greatly reduced in 40MM, but man, ifu hit some1, they're goin DOWN...
Yeah, 40mm is closer to an anti tank or anti aircraft than a handgun my guy. It's 40 caliber.
I had one in 40, biggest piece of junk I ever bought. Done everything right with it cleaning and everything it jammed all the time and the trigger hinge pin kept working out. None of my other 40 cals have any problems.
@@D-A-1776the 9mm version is by far better
this was my first gun
In my opinion czp10c is superior &
Would choose that over the sd9ve.
The new best bang for your buck is the CZ.
Mags are a different story.
Love the channel.
Agreed. CZ’s are awesome!!!
Great review. I’ve had mine for a while and like it more than I thought I would. One nice benefit is the silver/grey finish: it makes it a lot easier to see any dirt or corrosion if like me your eyeballs have some extra years on them.
Its crazy how this sd9ve has gone up in price post C19...i got mine for $269 thats with shipping...i got mine a month b4 C19 hit...now its $380-400 everywhere its was $299 at academy $325 at the most at other stores b4 C19...iv always love the feel & look..
wow thats an amazing price you got it at!
@@dAviD-op4vwi sold it 3wks ago...for $230 to a buddy he wanted one i wanted it was my nightstand gun...i wanted something different/ upgrade to the collection replaced it with the BUL ARMORY CHEROKEE...found it new for $285...so basically just added $55 and got the Cherokee.....check it out its a nice firearm
I'll answer that for you. I have both and there's no comparison. My Smith is the SD model.
The SW40 was the first 40 I ever got... I still love it. I also have a "new" SD40 version, improved the texturing on the grips... Great self defense trigger. Eat every ammo I've put through them. Just really solid guns.
This is very good gun for the money.
Can you do a review of the new 2.0 version? Thanks 🙏
Back in 1995 I bought my first gun, it was the SW40F the original Sigma. I still have it in my safe. It has been a great gun over the years, people complain about the trigger but mine brakes right at 7lbs.
I also have the SW40VE which is the second generation of the Sigma. The trigger on that one also brakes around 7lbs.
The SW99 is also a great gun with a much better trigger. It has become one of my favorites all SW polymer pistols.
And the SD9VE that I keep next to my bed, is an excellent gun. I got is used with the apex trigger installed so I can't tell how good or bad the original trigger was. I think the SD9VE has been the best $200 I have spent on a firearm!
Where did you get it for $200?
@@justinhronchak9275 local gun shop.
Me too!
This pistol has Smith and Wesson's excellent double action revolver trigger on an auto loading bottom feeder!
It’s not a double action 💀
@@Cline123 the double action pull on a 686 and sdv9 felt about the same.
@@ericconyers8972 it’s NOT double action, it’s striker fired
@@Cline123
You miss my point. I am describing the feeling of pulling the trigger on 2 different guns with different actions.
Most striker fired pistols don't have a trigger that feels like a revolver, but this one does. Only the feel, not the mechanics.
Yeah, the trigger pull is not the best. But far from the worste
Great review and it's definitely a great firearm. The 1st gen m& p is also a great reliable option being they can be found priced about the same as the sdve . Really can't go wrong either way. They are both reliable.
What's the price range on the sd9ve
$350-$400 new in my area here in southern Indiana. Just 2 years ago, you could pick them up on sale for $275. Used, they have low resale or trade value- $200-$250. I've owned several over the years. I've had great luck with the 9mm and 40sw models.
I just love the looks and feel of the SD9VE in my hand. It's perfect for my hand size. I wish it was a DA/SA setup for a better trigger pull on follow-up shots. I also had the trigger pin "walk out" a little on mine. I fixed it, and haven't had anymore issues since then. Other than that, it's been a great shooter (once you get used to the heavy trigger pull) and it eats everything I feed it. I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10.
Can you put back with one hand ?
Just for reference. On 01/01/24 palmetto has them for under 300. Crazy good deal
Well...guess you need a two-point-oh now to talk about. I'll be waiting to here your thoughts. How bout a Gee-Three in you mix also. I'll be looking for them. Nice reviews....😂
Ooops....you did a Gee-Three. Found it.
The Sigma was the first pistol I ever purchased, because I didn't know any better, lol. Must have been almost 20 years ago now. I bought it because of the price. Worst trigger, but again, I didn't know any better.
Sigma .40 was the second gun I ever purchased. About 20 years ago as well. I agree, that trigger was horrible.
Sigma was my first pistol, too. I got it used for cheap. The dust cover was bent a bit but it ran well enough.
Sigma was my first pistol, too. I still have it having purchased it in 2001. Its only real downside was the trigger but an Apex trigger can be fitted in and turns it from a mediocre pistol to one that is almost decent... still not as good as my Glock, but not bad now
with after market larger capacity mags( going from the standard 16 rds to 17rds) and an apex trigger its actually better since you can get two for almost the price of a g19
Now RK is selling a SD9, wonder if it’s the same?
Why do I like this gun??
mine was 100% until I tried those Inceptor ARX rounds and it jammed about every 3rd round ... so I stopped using ARX ammo and it's been fine since stopping ...
Funny Glocks made in Australia . Firearms there have many regulations there ?
Mine 16+1
So what gun do you conceal carry ?
Is it a lite rack
No
I prefer carrying my Walther PK380, it's easier and more comfortable ...
.380 💀💀💀
16 round mags*
'Promosm' 👌
Best budget 9 out next to PSA 🗡 LEAVE THE TRIGGER STOCK it’s a trainer glock for a reason 😭run it train and by the time you get one 🎯😎(also safer for 🥊/grapples/falls/🔫noobs), just stipple the grip frame/finger rest/trigger pad and matte 🎨 the FRT sight layer all white/black dot or color to pref and shoot it till it’s smooth, also download to 10/12rd EDC🪶>SC/SS🛡🤭,only .40 M&P/Glocks🙅🏾♂️ the SD40 will break eventually
I had a stroke reading your emoji infested comment
@@Cline123 just say your old man 😭

@@kenshin034 didn’t know 20 was old lol
@@Cline123 u ain’t no 20 can’t comprehend short text 😭
thats a lousy trigger. not poundage wise but the travel after take up is really long
Took me forever to get used to
Take a shot everytime he says glock
Glock copied the Sigmas size and made the Glock 19 because when the Sigma came out, Glock only made the 17. Glock copied the size after they settled the lawsuit. So the Glock 19 is Sigma size. And I think the Sigma felt better in the hand, then the Glock. It just had a heavy trigger.
Something wrong . Literally can’t hit the side of a barn
It is a glock copy that’s why glock sued them with the sigma they gave it different look and whala SD9 then the ve fir value enhanced 🤷🏻♂️
Just buy a Glock at this point wow what a rip-off!! That trigger pull was atrocious!!! Pull wall break pullllllllll then it stopped!!
Nothing new, just another copy of a Glock. I will stay with the Glock. Neither are very concealable.
Depends how big you are I’m 6’5” 220lbs and the Glock 19 and Sd9ve conceal great on me.
It never ceases to amaze me that TH-cam gun enthusiast consistently fail to show clear and safe before their presentation. This is irresponsible and shows poor gun handling to say the least.
