I recently purchased a SD40VE to replace an older Glock I now have in my bug out bag. I went economical since this was just going to be an extra house gun. I was worried when I took it to the range and it kept FTF several times each mag. Cleaned it and tried again and had the same issues. Went back and tried different ammo and no issues. Reading a few other posts I see that others have had issues with the PMC ammo. I've fired Federal and winchester with no issues.
I've also read that a few SD40 owners sent theres back to S&W and they made modifications to fix this. I think I'm going to go that route also since it can't hurt. When I get it back I'll let you know how PMC fires through it. Please let me know if you are having simular problems and what ammo you were using. Also let me know if you sent it to S&W to fix and how it works now. Thanks
