I'm in Cali I paid 700 and we're only allowed 10 round mags so I just bought 3 more so I have 5 mags..I put over 3000 rounds through it since January of this years and not one malfunction.. It's very reliable..
The SD9 and SD40 are great deals when priced under $350. Not so much at $400+. I have the SD40 (non-VE) with black slide and factory fiberoptic sights. I upgraded the trigger and springs with the Apex kit and threw on a Talon Grip. It's a solid gun that I'd trust my life to. My main home defense pistol is a Shadow Systems MR920 combat. It has the the upgrades I would've done to a Glock 19.
@@godsson1603 I get that .that happened to me when I first moved to VA...there was this gun shop called Dawson's and they were extremely expensive..I didn't know much about gun prices at the time and I paid $425 for a sigma sw40ve...then find out it was $250 tops new in other places smh
@@godsson1603 yea that's the most important part. We paid for a quality gun at least. The guy at the local pawn shop had a raven P25...you won't believe what he paid for it at another pawn shop 😂
I'm in Cali and we are only allowed 10 round mags and mine cost 700 so I'm thinking glocks cost a few more hundreds but I never checked.. My S and W came with fiber optic sights and a round indicator that say loaded when up.. I put over 3000 rounds through it since January of this year and not one malfunction.. This is my first legal fire arm and I am happy with it.. My dad has a 9mm berretta so if I feel like shooting something else at the range I'll take that with me and you can shoot that with one hand..
In case you missed my other reply to you: I live in Cali too and it is running $440 at bass pro in Rancho Cucamonga. A brand new glock 17 woulda ran you about $548 after taxes. Also...just have like 4 total 10 round mags but go over to Nevada and just buy max and normal capcity mags there, seriously. F**k Gavin Newsom and Bonta. Don't comply with traitor p*ssies like that. Just don't go back same day and the scouts won't get you. Order like 4-6 mags and then pick em up and stay in Vegas for a few days and have fun
Matter of fact I even buy my ammo in nevada. I try to do most of my shopping for the year there so California doesn't get sales tax from me. I don't support oppression like that. I'm leaving the state for good soon. F**k Cali this place sucks to be a free person in
I beat on mine and it's cracked, dented, finish is worn but I gotta say it's still 100% functional .. eats every type of 9mm except for those Inceptor style ammo ..
@@rebel9channel well I mirror polished it. So I’ve been looking for a holster for the Sd9ve with a light that won’t scratch it. If you have any info please. Appreciate the help man
@@Silent-dee1 I recommend to watch someone do it first. Takes time and if you don’t have the time then I recommend not to do unless you have a back up. And just polish the slide. Not the barrel. I mean I did mine and it’s fine but they told me not to do it cuz when you polish it. It shaves down metal basically it takes layers of metal till you see the polish mirror or until you are satisfied. I used metal polish cream. It’s in like a small container and the liquid is blue. When you polish it don’t worry about the liquid getting in the cracks of the the slide. You can always use gun cleaner and spray it out. Once’s you see that you have it to where you want it and you are happy. Whip it with some carnauba wax. It’s in like small black and gold container. People use it to shine the wheels and metal stuff. It gives it a nice shine and protects it from scratches. And remember please bro do it at your own risk and don’t forget to take off the sights on the gun so it looks professional. Glad to help and hope it helps
That sd9ve aint going no where...it has came along way there are a few upgrade parts out there but the factory parts are always going to be available....NAME 1 firearm you can walk into a gun store 12 years and still buy a older model gun on the shelf like its new. You cant.......the sd9ve is still in mass production...as much as the M&P series...because its a work horse
AT ALL??? yes... will they function? No. I cant remember which upper fit which lower better. The front spring mount is a different size so they dont interchange well (but it can fit) and the barrel drops right in but I wouldnt even any anything beyond assembling.
SD over everything budget the lightest loaded out for it’s size download 12rds for EDC 🪶don’t get a smaller gun 🤣leave it stock internally stipple n sand the frame/trigger pad to pref and cut bike inner tube to grip more M&P feel just shoot it/train till u find the deal on that G23 still swap 9
Been a Glock owner since 1990, have seen frame rails snap off on the Glock not so with the SD9VE and the SD9VE is much cheaper.
I don’t know when you got that SD9VE but those things are pushing the $400 mark now! Definitely not the budget range these days!😬
I just got it about 3 weeks ago!! Brand new ..budsgunshop has some of the best prices!!
Try gun broker I won mine at 205. Plus it's my second sdv9e my first one got it at 289 plus tax now it's close to 400

As far as which one would you choose " most people will go with the better shooting gun "
$407 after taxes for sd9ve here in North Carolina at Bass pro shop.
@@godsson1603 yikes!!!
@@rebel9channel definitely,it was either that or a used glock from a pawnshop. Really wanted something brand new with a warranty.

$700 for an SD9VE is too much bro. Mine ran around $450 with taxes and DROS fees. Located in Southern California.

Got mine for 300 bucks 💀
how that SD9 felt in the hand tho?
I beat on mine and it's cracked, dented, finish is worn but I gotta say it's still 100% functional .. eats every type of 9mm except for those Inceptor style ammo ..
The sd9 has less components to break😅
I just got the space grey one 2 day ago it was 403.00 not really cheap anymore
Just paid 281 out the door for a northern lights sd9ve here in FL
@@stanleyminniear4899 damn good shyt
Got a sd9ve and Chromed it out. Mirror polish. Looks good shoots good. Would the Glock 19 holster fit the sd9?
I think only non molded glock 19 holsters would fit the sd9..I wish I had a glock holster to see
