Smile My Twin Pair SDVEs

I like the SD40VE so much that I acquired the SD9VE. :-)

I have no idea why this photo is upside down; it's right side up on my computer and phone.

Eventually I will polish these up so that they're easier to clean and I will add a Pachmayr grip to the SD40VE. I've already installed the Galloway stainless steel guide rod and spring (with an extra 20 lbs. of tension). Spring looks weird going in so I'm curious to know how it's going to shoot now. It's got extra weight already, which I like, so I'm encouraged.

If I can find a gunsmith with weekend hours somewhere in the San Fernando Valley, I'd be inclined to go with the Apex kit everybody keeps talking about because all this new training I'm doing is making overcoming the pull weight and long take up a bit of a hassle. When dry firing and not doing anything particularly tricky it's fine but I'm starting to wonder if I should consider making the adjustment.

Other than that, these are fine guns. Certainly for the price (here in California, about $400 ea. after taxes and fees).
