Pros;
1) They are built like a tank.
2) They will eat ANY kind of ammo you feed them.
3) They are priced very low for such a quality firearm. This means you can buy the SD9VE & SD40VE for the same price as (1) Glock.
4) They go "BANG" every time you pull the trigger.

Cons;
1) They are called "A Poor Mans Glock."
2) S&W has just recently introduced new versions of the SDVE series. If you're married, this is a problem! If you're single, you've hit the lottery!
No matter which SDVE you buy, you won't be sorry. These guns are way under rated and people will take note that they are equal to a Glock, but for almost half the price as what the Glock sells for.($539 VS $279-$299)
