Smith & Wesson’s SD9 VE™, with its distincive two-tone finish, is a semi-automatic pistol, chambered in 9mm. This new offering features Smith & Wesson’s SDT™ - a Self Defense Trigger for optimal, consistent pull from the first round to the last.
The picatinny-style rail gives you the option of adding accessories such as a light or laser. Another new feature is the aggressive front and back strap texturing, which provides a more secure grip, while still maintaining comfortability. Overall, the new SD9 VE™ combines value with enhanced features to deliver top-grade performance in a reliable option for home and personal protection.
Once you put in a trigger spring kit and trigger it makes it so much more shootable. There are numerous sources for this modification.
Although this is priced as an entry level gun, it is my most reliable handgun that I own. I have owned it for 12 years and have never had an FTF, FTE, or jam. As my hands get more arthritic the gun becomes more of a challenge to take down for cleaning but that’s really the only negative. Don’t let the price fool you. This is an exceptionally reliable weapon.
Late in review but this gun is very nice and light weight. Did have an issue with Remington rounds getting jammed up. Switched back to my Winchesters and no issue. Over all very pleased with it. Now my gf wants the EZ 9mm.
I would definitely recommend this 9mm for home defense, training and qualified for licensed to carry or concealed! I could not pass up the price. It handles very well. Im very satisfied i got it!!
For the price the is the best in its class. I fired over 1000 rounds and had no issues what so ever. Light easy to load and fire. I been using this gun for over 8 years. Still love it.
I don’t have money to throw on high end guns so after a week of extensive research and reviews this was my choice. It shoots straight, as in I can hit a tuna can at 25 yards and I’m no pro marksman. Also the ease of take down is very easy.
I’ve put brass and steel down range and the only problem I had, ironically was S&W’s steel... don’t recommend them they are also very dirty I.e. cakes residue everywhere and it looks like your shooting sparklers as it’s still burning on exit with twinkles and debris that gets past safety glasses, that was fun. Also jammed up and double fed. Tula was fine so go figure. But anyways, great gun and don’t regret it one bit.
I currently have about 3500 rounds through my SD, most of it Tula. No signs of wear and no parts breakage. Reliable, lightweight and accurate . I have an M&P steel rear sight on mine. Perfect fit. Lastly, the processing of your order at SOSS may be faster if ordered midweek.
Always great to purchase from this company.
This is a great weapon. Accurate and easy to fire. The purchase experience was flawless.
Stop comparing this to a Glock, it IS a Glock except its cheaper and better. Holds more rounds than a 19 and most importantly. 100% Zero Malfunctions. Every Youtube Review is dead on about this gun, It's nicknamed the omnivore. It eats ANYTHING, any cheap trash ammo you feed it, it fires it. You want some cheap and reliable, look no further. 100% reliable. Zero Malfunctions. More reliable than a Glock, More reliable than the MP 2.0 series. Doesn't require an immediate change of sights like a dumb Glock does. The trigger is an 8lb defensive trigger. It's NOT MEANT TO BE A RANGE GUN. so stop being a noob and comparing the trigger to other pistols. Its Called SD9 for a reason, It's a self-defense carry gun. The trigger is supposed to be heavier so that when you pull it, you mean it. You want a sick trigger, buy a match pistol. Uses the same barrel, spring and guide rod as a G19, so you could buy a G19 threaded barrel and suppressor this puppy. Mag release is so smooth and simple, gentle press and instant gravity release. I personally recommend this as your desktop/coffee table/within arms reach home pistol. Weight and size a bit much for EDC unless you normally would carry a G19.
some folks think a $300 handgun can't be that good. These SDs are. I have about 7000 rounds through mine, 99% Tula. It is an attractive firearm as well. Get one in both 9 and 40. you will be glad you did.
Break in this gun with a little help from Apex. Order the trigger spring kit. Read manual & keep the hinged trigger! If you clean and take care of the rest and brake in the pistol & you will be happy! Look into the Smith manual, It's an amazing gun when you upgrade! By the way SOSS did their part!
With the 25$ rebate from S&W the price was unbeatable. I've wanted the SDVE 9 for a while and I'm very happy with the gun. Hands down better than a Glock. Cheaper, better looking, very accurate right out of the box. Great all around deal.
Great for the money. It compares with Rugers SR9E. I like how it feels in my hand. The trigger is very heavy, but I kinda like how it feels. Lets you know its there. Fits M&P holsters.
Lightweight and very reliable firearm. I have fired over 3000 rounds of Tula through my SD with only a couple ammo related problems. I sometimes shoot steel matches with it. Do not let reluctance keep you from purchasing this fine firearm.
This pistol is outstanding. Super accurate, very well made and overall a great,great pistol. The shipping wasn't the best.I ordered it Saturday and didn't receive it until Thursday but for the price I paid for it $269 I cant complain. Thanks a lot Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore
Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore is my go to online store for weapons/parts/accessories. For customer service and speedy shipping- SOS is topnotch. Item received packed great. Previous orders were identical. Fast/friendly/ and speedy.
Put about 1000 rounds thru my SD9VE. Can't complain that I've had a few malfunctions. I use cheap target ammo, so that might be why. Overall glad I made the purchase.
Great gun for price, had to fix mags. Nut overall great firearm.
I ordered the s&w sd9 mm and have no regrets. Sportsman outdoor are great, they shipped the gun out fast and it was everything they said. Very great service when I called them as well. The gun its self is great. It is a good weight and is very well built. It is a great gum for a great price. It was not put together cheap. The trigger pull is a little long but it needs to be broken in some before I change it from a 8 lb pull to a 6 lb pull. Came brand new with 2 mags, cable, manual, test fired round and etc. Overall great experience. Definitely would order from them again and recommend this gun to others.
