I just got home with a new SD9VE, and I hadn't even noticed that it didn't have the front night sight like the SD9 has. I bought a SD9 when they first came out, and ended up trading it shortly after I bought it...no problems with it, I just found something I wanted more, and needed to use it to help pay for the other gun. I've been wanting to get another one, to carry in my car, and when the SD9VE was announced I thought I would wait and get the new one. I stopped in at my LGS this afternoon to browze, and they had one, and a 40 as well.
When I bought my SD9 it was $399, and the SD9VE that I bought today was $339. It's a good thing when gun prices come down!
