I bought the HKS loader, tried it for 5 minutes and then sent it back. Save yourself the time and hassle and just get the Uplula loader. The thing is extremely easy to use, plus it will work for just about any other pistol also. Loads my .40 mags, and loads the mags for my C9 also with ease.
I have the same holster as MitchellB, and I love it. I got mine for about $8 off of ebay, I caught a pretty sweet deal on it. It holds the gun very secure, but not too secure.
If you go this route, look for the Fobus HK1.

Just wanted to let anyone wondering if the rebate program is getting any better and this is a deciding factor on their purchase, go ahead and buy!! I bought my 40VE on 7/24/10, mailed the rebate form in on 7/26/10, and received the two free mags in the mail today 8/31/10. Not too shabby, after...
No this is actually my second one. I just wanted to make sure that I did what I needed to do to keep from messing anything up. I took it apart before I shot it and gave it a pretty good cleaning.
I found it right about where the arrow on the slide is in the above picture. I cleaned the gun before I used it also, so it wasn't there before I shot it.
Oddly, on the next to the last mag that I shot, I actually had a piece of a metal shaving stick into my trigger finger and had no idea where...
Can someone post a closeup picture of the inside of their slide towards the end where the rear sight is? I found a couple of metal shavings there and want to make sure that everything still looks like it is supposed to. I could not find one anywhere online and any help would be appreciated...
Is it ok to spray Bore Blaster into the trigger assembly when cleaning? I would blow it out first with a can of air so it doesn't cake up in it or anything.

Well I made it to the range today. The 40 did an awesome job and was very accurate... when i put the right ammo in it. The 40 ammo and 9mm are both Federal, and I thought I grabbed the right box but I was wrong. After I sorted out that little fiasco, the gun is extremely accurate and I...
I am pretty lucky. My wife likes to shoot too. She has a S&W 22A LR pistol, and she's pretty deadly with it. We are going to invest in a good CCW gun for her shortly. Anyone have any suggestions? I think she is wanting a 25 or 32.

Finally went and picked up my new 40VE this weekend at Shooter's Depot in Chattanooga. I got a really good deal for my area, but instead of the rebate my wife got the mags for me instead. She said that she figured I would probably go and buy them anyway, but it was really because she's really...
