Have a new Shield 40 and absolutely love it but hate reloading! The magazine springs are so tight my thumbs are very sore and have yet to get the 7th round in. Looking for a good loader that will work on both single stack magazines. Any one have suggestions??

Just curious. Is it possible to buy a 40 caliber conversion barrel for a SD9VE or a 9mm barrel for a SD40VE? Glock does this for the GLOCK27 40 caliber allowing the Glock27 to use 9mm with the conversion barrel and 40 caliber with the original. Since the SD40VE and the SD9VE are virtually the...

I just installed the Hogue fullsize for all semi automatics today and did not notice any buckling at all. It went on easily...or as easy as one can expect. I did notice that the sleeve is a bit long on the backstrap end but not enough to interfere with grip or magazine insert or ejection. Did...

I have used Hogue Handall's on other guns and give them a 5+ rating. Comfortable and absorbs recoil very well. In fact I will order tomorrow if I can't find them at my local gun shop. For the SD9 and SD9VE or the 40's you need to get the universal full size sleeve. DO NOT get the M&P as it...

I want to lighten the trigger pull on my new SD9VE. Anyone have any suggestions? Have seen several on forum but indicate for SW9VE or SW40VE. When asked they are not sure if will work on newer SD9VE. They say will work if the pins on the sear housing are removable. Anyone have any suggestions...

Sorry if there is another thread on this, but could not find it. I'm looking for a new sight set for my new SD9VE. Found lots online but they are designated for either M&P or SD9. Nothing foe the VE. Will the M&P or SD9 work on the VE series? Would like night sights. Know where I can find any...
