whats y'alls feelings about this, is the sd9 now just a price point, now that smith has a 4"m&p?

Yup. It's like a trim level for a car, to me. Chevy Silverado work truck vs. GMC Sierra sorta thing.

no more sd9 vs g19 threads oh well

sd9ve, mine hasn't given me any problem yet after 500 rds through it.

To me comparing the SD9VE to the soon to be or just been released, not sure, M&P Compact V2 is like comparing apples to oranges. If the M&P has the same or simular trigger, grip texture, and inter changeable back straps, that today's M&Pv2 has then it's a completely different gun. The only thing the same is the size and they both shoot bullets at what they are pointed at.

I look forward to checking them out but wish they made it more like the size of a G26 or the size of the current 9c.

The SD9VE is a fine gun. Don't own one but I may at some point.

Economically, this is an apples & oranges comparison, as there's still a roughly $200 difference in the two pistols, so I don't think either one is encroaching on the other's territory.
The SD9 is largely appealing to a more budget-minded market, so the more expensive new M&P isn't likely to cut into it's market-share, or visa versa.
