I'd be willing to bet 90% of those "not so good reviews" are reviews are from ppl that have never even touched the SD9VE. That's the problem with the Internet; anyone can sound like an expert while actually being utterly clueless.

It's a good gun. I'm impressed with it. In fact, I was impressed enough to buy one for around $315.00 -- when the last thing I needed was yet another 9mm.

Btw, my trigger is stock and I don't plan on changing it out. I'm quite happy with it.
