I owned an SW40VE for about 2yrs. I probably put around 500 rounds through it without any issues. Accuracy was decent (Typical 4-5" @ 25 yds. ). I did not use or carry the weapon on duty (Home Defense only). I have no complaints and sold it pretty much for what I had into it. I would definitely buy another but I would go with the 9mm version this time for the cheaper ammo. Great buy for the $$$!
