Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get rid of something THEN all of a sudden you find out something that may have led you to keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I paid $150 and sold it for $200. Glock sued S&W, and won, over that gun because it so closely copied their gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 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." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 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.
