S&W SD9VE opinions?

Considering the price/performance this is a great pistol. I bought mine used so cheap I won't post $$$ here. I don't shoot lead through it but it has never missed a beat with plated 115 gr bullet reloads. The trigger was a typical 5-lb pull. There are plenty of videos on YouTube about improving the trigger. I replaced one small spring & carefully polished the sear surfaces & now the trigger is great!

Acquired a SW9VE in Afghanistan. Don't know how it got there but it only had one mag. Cut a new notch in plentiful M9 mags and while the bottom looked funny it worked 100%. We 0nly shot about a thousand rounds of M882 124 gr Ball thru it. No issues.

They were issued IIRC to some police organizations over that way.

(Amex: SWB), the legendary 154-year old company in the global business of safety, security, protection and sport, today announced it has secured a $15 million order to supply its SW9VE 9mm pistols to the United States Army Security Assistance Command (USASC) Special Projects Office for shipment to the Afghanistan ...Feb 16, 2006

Might be a way to get some cheap mags, but have a couple of spares and likely do not need new ones.

The Sigma and Ruger P95 were sent as aid to Afghan forces, as I recall. Interestingly, the guards at my local Club Fed carry P95's.

I'm still shooting my SD9's and they don't miss a beat. I can shoot them as well as my Glocks and they like the same loads that all my other 9mm pistols like. 3.2 grains of Titegroup under an Arsenal 358-130-RF at 1.070 is a real sweetie, one hole at 15 yards when my shaky hands cooperate. The new SD9 2.0 is really sweet. Better trigger pull and a lower price, believe it or not. I have three SD9 1.0's that I shoot very well so I rather doubt I'll add a 2.0 unless I find a screaming deal on one.
