@@nanobot81 it's my second hand gun the first being a sccy cpx1 I think and that thing keep failing to feed so I sold that off and got a bunch of self defense rounds too. The SD9VE fits a lot better in my hands and shoots pretty accurately.
@@nanobot81 I picked one up for $175 in 2017. Got lucky and found a website that had one on sale while S&W was offering a rebate ontop. I enjoy this gun. I'm not too happy about there not being a thumb safety, but it isn't the end of the world. As long as I keep it oiled I can put just about anything through it. I highly recommend looking into a micro conversion kit. It made this gun the most fun thing I've ever shot. I've only added one thing so far which is a Talon rubberized grip. Worth it. My next mod is an Apex trigger kit. The trigger pull is the biggest complaint with this gun from what I've read, which I completely agree with. The apex kit lessons the travel and the weight of the pull.
Great video. Just got my spring kits in and did both of my SD’s. The trigger spring was a bit tricky on the first one but got the angle and spring right away on the second.
Should i wear gloves or is this not super toxic oil? I just purchased this gun, my first one. Awesome gun. I have about 150 rds through it but no cleaning yet. I think next time i shoot, im gonna clean and lube. Also. Is it bad to take it apart and put it back if not cleaning and lubing? Ive got good practice stripping it down now, haha. Thanks for the great video
Connor Nielsen. It’s not hard on the pistol at all to disassemble it. As for the lube, you can wear gloves if you have reactions to petroleum products, but if not, then it not necessary. Just wash your hands after cleaning and lubing your pistol. I use FrogLube on mine and it’s nontoxic, so no worries at all there.

I assume you are referring to the recoil spring assembly. I replaced all of my recoil spring assemblies on my pistols that have plastic guide rods with stainless steel captured guide rod assemblies. Galloway Precision is a good source for these.
TANORA SHACK completely up to you. I normally spray my guns down with clp or ballistol when I get done at the range and wipe them down really quick. Then I will deep clean every 1000 rounds or so
Thank you for replying, my husband seems to think I need to clean my gun every time we go shooting, normally I shoot 200 rounds every few days and I clean it every time, I think it’s to much!!!
It was probably enough lube when brushed with the clp. Just brush on and wipe off good enough, the lube at end of video most likely not needed. Clp is Cleaner - Lubricant - Preservative. I am guilty also but lubing should only be enough to leave a residue, no lube should be pooling. People complain about lube seeping, it's because they used too much. I keep mine pretty dry. No problems ever.
Many gun enthusiasts just use plain old 20w oil(synthetic or regular) but if this oil is used, I prefer to use a cleaner first(such as Gun Scrubber) or just CLP which is a cleaner and a libricant.
Whatever you use keep it out of the striker channel. Nothing inherently wrong with CLP--I wouldn't recommend applying an abundance. Just my opinion but as far as lube, Otis Dry Lube is the bee's knees.
I can't get the slide off I get the tabs down like it's supposed to and it won't go won't move it side starts to move forward and is jams I would like to know what's wrong my dad's gun
@@samjones476 Take the mag out. Had the same issue. Took the mag out, immediately came off. Invest in the extended slide lock lever, makes it a breeze now.
That happened to me once when the spring wore down the guide rod(plastic) and jumped the teat. I was finally able toshake and partially rack the slide and get to come off. I replaced the captured guide rod and spring assembly with a stainless steel one from galloway precision.
I got it all finally what happened is she got so much gunk in the slide it wouldn't go any further forward you can get it to go backwards and go like it was before I finally had to get some cleaning aging up in the slide and tap it is my palm real hard thanks for what you said but it didn't work and it wasn't that the reason it didn't work
@@jamesendsley2611 wow, it would take a lot of debries to lock a slide up! I clean my guns each time I take it out shooting, it is a pain sometimes but they function. :)
People worry about dry firing to unlock side that it might hurt pin lol and I think why the hell would s&w make a design that the only way you can clean it is damn on the pin a lil first to be able to field strip it. IT'S SAFE PEOPLE! THEY KNOW WHAT'S UP CAUSE THEY MADE IT 👍

Love how easy people make it look. And not incredibly painful and not super easy.
Thanks, I just bought this exact gun and now I know how to clean it.
I just bought one today for $350. How's it handling?

Got it last week, I paid $430 In Los angeles. WTF California.
Just got it too! I need to clean it asap!
I spray cleaning spray in the inside of my barrel and let it sit for a few mins I use a bore snake rob to clean my barrel
Great video. Just got my spring kits in and did both of my SD’s. The trigger spring was a bit tricky on the first one but got the angle and spring right away on the second.
Great video! Loved your instructions
I have the exact same gun and my manual does not say to lube anything in the frame except for the slide rails.
Best lubricant I've tried is Weapon Shield and best non toxic cleaner Gun Werkz who support Wounded Warrior Project.

You'll be alright bare
I'd wear gloves. Keeps solvent out of you and your oils, fatty acids and lipids out/off of the weapon.
Well done. Thank you. Now can you explain the housing for the firing pin? How can we possibly see if the firing pin is okay?
Galloway Precision has a video on TH-cam about how to disassemble the slide.
Thank you cause I just got this gun
I can't take out the gun does it get stuck sometimes

Thats a purdy gun, i put 6 shots thru mine today. Hasent had its first cleaning yet.
Welcome to the gun show
My gun only comes apart with the magazine in why is that?
Great video
great!
Is this a good first gun?
I can’t take it apart…help!!!
The spring on mine is loose and it jammed up on me around the 3rd shot what you think i can do to fix

How often should i clean my SD9VE?

6:19 - 6:31 15:08 - 15:18 good tips.
Those two tabs aren't that easy to take down they are too short
Is clp gun oil ? Whats the difference
Shae Chavis clp stands for cleaner lubricant protectant so it will clean and lube firearms. Where as gun oil will only lube

Mostly this applies to rimfire pistols which potentially damage the firing pin (or rimfire rifles for that matter.)
