    Best prices on sd9 mags

    The best price I could find is $35 ea., which still seems kinda high to me. Any recommendations on where I can find better deals? BTW, I'm in CA so I'm limited to 10-round ones.

    Looking at an SD9VE. What's the big deal?

    Personally I always go with how does the firearm feel in your hand. You can have a dozen similar pistols in front of you and I guarantee you one will feel better than all the rest. Things like triggers, sights and grips can all be changed.

    Am I crazy for buying a Shield?

    You should buy what feels good in your hands. Personal I like being able to wrap all my fingers around the grip. Even with my 9c, the smallest firearm I own, I have the finger extension on my mags.

    Laser recommendations

    I decided on the Crimson Trace CMR-201 for my M&P 9c, which is my office firearm. I'm going to see how I like it and if I do I think I'll get the CMR-205 for the SD9VE, which is a home self defense firearm.

    Laser recommendations

    I'd like to get a laser for my SD9VE. I'd prefer a small/low profile unit but would be open to larger one if it is better. It will be for inside self defense purposes.

    Where does this go in the sear housing block

    Thanks for all your help ou1954. Once I figured out the proper placement for the Mag Disconnect Safety I had to increase the over travel by sanding down the trigger. It appears to be striking consistently now. I'm going to take it to the range tomorrow and see how it does.

    Where does this go in the sear housing block

    I had to take the sear housing block out to install the spring kit and new trigger. Juana from Apex has been emailing me some support as well. He has advised me to sand down the rear of the trigger a bit. I will do that when I get home and see where we're at. Thanks for all the help, I hope to...

    Where does this go in the sear housing block

    This is how I have the part in the pistol. However, it won't fire and requires the rear plate cover to be removed and slide spring removed to remove the slide.

    Where does this go in the sear housing block

    Ya I think a picture would be helpful. I tried putting the piece between the springs under the support facing right but the trigger wouldn't hit and I couldn't get the slide off. I had to take the rear slide cover off and remove the spring to free up the slide. Once I see a picture I'll know how...

    Where does this go in the sear housing block

    I went to remove the rear sear housing block and this piece fell out before I could see how it was positioned. Can anyone show me how to replace it. Thanks!

    Is Apex the way to go?

    Thanks for the suggestions, very helpful. To the post about why did I buy it, price wasn't a factor but fit was. I literally played with 10 similar sized pistols in the store and this one felt great! I would have got another M&P 9c but it's been added to the state roster and unavailable. I...
