Default Happy New Owner of an SD40VE

Finally had a chance to put some rounds thru my new SD40VE. So far, I am really liking this pistol...easy to field strip, great egos for my big hands and as accurate as I can be.:roll eyes:

Yeah, a big gun, but it's comfortable in my hands...concealing it isn't easy, but between a DTOM medium fanny pack and my Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB Holster, I think I have a reasonable comfortable set up...

More after I've shot 1000 rounds thru it!

Welcome to the club. I carry mine in an alien gear owb holster. Very comfy and surprisingly lightweight, only 30 ounces loaded.

Very nice! Its a fine pistol. I shoot my SD40VE more than my M&P40.

I had to wrap 2 bicycle inner tubes to get the comfort I felt was good for me. I also undercut the trigger guard and the beaver tail a bit too.

Welcome to the SD40VE club!

Love my sd9ve. Rides fine in AG holster, just need a slightly baggy shirt to make it disappear.

I have both the SD9VE and SD40VE. The SD40VE was my first 40 cal. and I was not disappointed! The 9VE is my main EDC-take it everywhere. Main holster is a DeSantis Speed Scabbard-leather, open top 3 slot pancake. Also have a Fobus paddle style for "grab & go" times when running out the door for errands, etc. Accurate, reliable and dependable, just what you want in a carry/home defense gun :-)

i carry my SD40VE daily. I carry it in a Raw Dog IWB holster and it hides it pretty good even while wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Of course my Wife just picked up a new Ruger LC9S, and that thing all but completely disappears! But then again, having 14+1 rounds of Hornady XTP 180gr hollow points gives you a bit of a comforting feeling. This is what I carry on me daily...



L8R,
Matt

I have an SD40VE only have put 500 rounds in it so far. Runs great. Still looking for a southpaw holster. Great gun.

Are you looking for IWB or open carry? Alien Gear pretty much always gets great reviews. A solid kydex holster that I was looking at before getting my Raw Dog is made by On Your 6.

NO! It is normal for the .40. If you look at the spent case that came with your pistol you'll see it has a slight bulge also. The
cases are perfectly fine for reloading.
