I own the SD9VE and have just over 400 rounds through this gun over the last two weeks without a single issue. The only ammo I have put through it other than a FMJ rounded nose of some sort was some of my self defense ammo (Hornady 147 gr hollow point) and again, the gun shot flawlessly.

I did clean and lube it before my first visit to the range and I made sure to load both my mags (16 rounds in each) and let them sit for a few days like that to help loosen up the spring.
