Latest "find":

S&W SD9 VE



Home too late to run rounds thru it. Maybe tomorrow.

Haven't shot that one.
Have wondered how it compares to my Sigma.
Good guns for the money.
Let me know if you have shot a Sigma and how it compares.

Carlos..... I have NOT shot the Sig. Last 9mm I've shot was the new Ruger sub-compact I got for my wife late last year. My daughter and her beau have matching S&W .40 and .22's. I've mainly been shooting an older Browning .380 and an undercover Charter Arms .38 lately. Really only grabbed the 9 mm because it was a good deal, from an individual I've known for years. I picked up half a dozen boxes of target ammo and a nylon holster for it today (holster that has place for the extra clip). Have to look at a couple of houses this afternoon, so it'll be tomorrow before I get to run some shots thru it. I do know that the gun gets good reviews (from what I've read), so I expect it to preform well. I know the .22 and the .40 of my daughter and her boyfriend are very accurate shooters.

Looks so similar in the grip to the Sigma that I first thought it replaced it.
Enjoy in good health.

Carlos I thought they did replace the Sigma? Something about a hubub with Glock. Someone told me that you could actually replace the Sigma slide with a glock slide and it would work.

I could be very well mistaken though.

Don't know about the slide swap. The Sigma series had S&W in a lawsuit they had to settle for patent infringement. And several performance issues. The SD9 line is supposed to be a gun between the Sigma and the M&P in quality, and is supposed to have taken care of the problems the Sigma's had. So far, everything I've read on the SD line shows this was accomplished I read a lot of reviews with 2500 or more rounds run thru the SD9s without any jams or other problems. They do look similar to the Sigma on the grip, Carlos!

Just saw a couple local police on patrol (2 blocks from my house mind you), both sporting 33rd mags sticking out of their holstered Glock 17's. Thing is, those mags weren't in there for show or braggin rights....

Hey, how's it going? You sure those weren't Glock Model 18s in those holsters, Francis?

In any event I can't imagine those magazines not getting in the way during a day's carry...sitting down must be fun for those LEO's, for one thing.

Forgot to mention, scored 15 Gen 3 PMags this week for $15/ea. 5 for me, 10 for a friend.

Yeah, they are now popping up everywhere for normal price.
Would hate to be one of those that paid nearly $100 for one.

Yep. I overpaid one a few just to make sure I was able to get some when it all went down. But nothing too outrageous. Now I gotta remember to cancel my order from DSG for 10 more.

Francis maybe they were G18's lol

[bonjing]

Just a heads up guys, there is Geissele SSA trigger up for the troop support auction. Bid high and bid often to help those that send much needed enjoyment to our guys and gals overseas!!!

I agree. Those had to by Glock 18s.

[Steelerfanatic]

The UPS man just delivered a box from Brownells. Completely forgot about an order for pmags in December. Lol. Can't beat 13 bucks each though!

Based on what I have seen, I'm reasonably certain they were 17's... 18's are a little too nice for a beat cop about here, not sure they could get one if they wanted to. I think automatics are restricted to the army and national guard. (and here, the national guard takes an active role in policing things on a daily basis)

looked like the gun was sitting forward far enough that sitting wouldn't be too much of a problem... but I'm sure it still gets in the way a bit.
