    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.
