Yeah, any pistol that continues to pull the striker back until it releases is double action. This includes glock.

I originally bought my first SD9VE because is fit my hands better than any of my GLOCKS, and at about 1/2 the price.
I was so impressed with it's ergonomics, reliability & accuracy that I bought a second one within 10 days.
The more you use em the slicker the triggers get and a bit lighter too.

Absolutely agree.

I noticed that you had asked this question a few years back, but in case you still monitor it, or if anyone else should need this information: I found that by purchasing the SD Spring Kit, and replacing the Trigger, (both Apex Tactical), that the recoil is lessened by about 10% and the trigger pull is much smoother, down to about 5lbs.

Just a note to this "old" thread. Stop the whining and the madness...and for the love f all that is good and holy. Stop wasting money. The is no need to do a darn thing to this trigger. Apex springs, guide rods and triggers are ****, a waste, can damage the pistol and VOID your S&W warranty. How about this...LEARN the trigger on your (all & any, not just the SD) firearm instead. I had about 30 rounds through my SD9VE before today. Yet I fired a 98% (49/50) for my retired LEOSA qualification. The one I threw was all my own fault too. The SD series needs nothing. No wonder Glock sued S&W. They made it better and cheaper.

Amen to that. The reason for the 8# trigger pull is that it's a self defense weapon. You don't want to carry a gun with a light trigger pull. If you are looking for a competition shooter, this isn't it.

Sd9ve Trigger pull
I have had my sd9ve for about a year now and at first was very hesitant due to all the talk about the trigger. I purchased one anyway and to be honest i dont find the trigger heavy at all i think it is an awesome gun especially for the price. I was already looking into all the upgrades such as as spring kit and trigger kit due to all the youtube vids lol and im glad i did not purchase those. My recommendation would be just sites and some nice grips other than that awesome shooter have no complaints no problems. By the way i am new to the smith and wesson forum and gun family as well.

Welcome to both joshuar , I've had mine for 3 1/2 years shoot it a lot 3,000 rds at least. Took a relatively new shooter to the range we rented a G 19 & had my SD9. This new shooter liked mine much better than the Glock.

I too purchased the Apex spring kit. It made quite a difference and I am very happy with it. I also installed the Glock style trigger, I did not notice much difference but I do like this style trigger. I have run about 100 rounds through it (SD40SE) with out a hiccup. I am very satisfied.

I installed the Apex Spring Kit, , which took about 1/2 hour to install after watching a few YouTube how-to videos; I then installed a trigger (on packed, called SD AEK) which I bought off Amazon for $37.95. I have got this so that the trigger is almost a hair-trigger. Well worth the money and time - my shots knock out the black centre of the target at 35ft.

Mine is stock except the front sight; the white dot fell out, I replaced with Hiviz fiber. Trigger? it's fine, but I shoot a lot of DA revolvers.

I'm a fan of leaving it absolutely stock also, even though I have the 10.5 lb Massachusetts trigger. After about 1000 rounds through, the trigger is almost the same with smoothness and pull as my DAO K frame. As for malfunctions? I had one stovepipe the first time I fired it, and I think it may have been a limp wrist. It has been 100% reliable since, regardless of what I feed it.

Had my sd9ve for about two years. just installed the APEX spring and trigger kit couldn't believe how much trigger smoothness and travel improved.Went to the range today with the sd9ve and my Glock 19.The sd was so much more fun to shoot I never fired the glock. Fired 125 rounds with no problems.(reloads)

Every APEX trigger I have installed in my SDVE series guns, I have had to file some of the trigger to fix the reset problem. Why is this? Why doesn't APEX fix this problem? Take note at the 13:38 point in the video.
