Bare bones full size and very affordable, 2 15 round magazines. I haven't shot it yet. Anyone have one of these?

FYI: This post ended up in my SPAM box with a caution about opening it.

My filtering software is pretty good at keeping me out of trouble.

I wonder what it was that got it cautious about this post?

Anyone else get their notice of this post possibly being SPAM?

What spam box? I have one on my email but I wasn't aware of one on this wire?

Sold a ton of these while I was managing a gun shop.  Never had a complaint with them.  The couple I've shot did well.  Very reliable.

The guys that work at my shooting range have nothing but good to say about these S&W's.

They also like the Ruger SR9. I guess they were comparing the 2 one day when I was there.

Sorry, if I misled. It's part of my purchased anti-virus/ anti-spam software tool kit, separate from the WIRE.

It scrutinizes all my e-mails as well as sites I may try to visit.

I have the thing set on High.

I had one a few years back. Shot great but had a lousy trigger. Sold it then found out there were some easy hacks for the trigger on you tube.

Isn't that how it always seems to go? You get rid of something THEN all of a  sudden you find out something that may have led you to keep it.

Plus I sold it too cheap and can't replace it for twice the money.

They used to be around $200 now they’re $399 msrp. 

[Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485]

I paid $150 and sold it for $200. Glock sued S&W, and won, over that gun because it so closely copied their gun.

I am curious. What is the deal with the stippling in front of the takedown bar?

They must have changed it then. It was the Sigma Series I believe!  Now it’s the SD9VE.

I’ll have to look in the manual later. I’ll circle back to you on that!

I had one years ago. Decent plinking gun. Trigger was horrible and gave it to my son. I'll have to look up trigger hack.

You probably had the Sigma series. It’s not that same gun now. It’s the SD 9 VE. The trigger is not bad at all.

When I was at Sportsman's Warehouse, we carried the SW9/40VE series, an earlier model. With my 5% employee discount and a rebate from S&W, I paid $285.99 for the .40 version. Sometime later, I was shooting at a deserted, informal BLM range, and found another lightly speckled magazine for it laying on the ground.

Here's the photo explanation . It's not mentioned. BTW it's on both sides! 

[Three Foot Johnson]

I found this - "The SD9VE has oval divots (stippled) on both sides; very intuitive and comfy for trigger finger when safe and for thumb over thumb grip."

Thanks! Interesting!

Range Report:

I shot 60 rounds today most at around 20-25 feet. A few fliers until I got the feel off it. The trigger is a little rough but it’s accurate enough. I shot 10 rounds at 50 ft not bad.

we took the gun apart and inspected it and in my rush to get out I forgot to get the targets. 

You’ll just have believe me, after all have I ever lied you before ?
