I don't know,my taurus G2 runs like a champ but my new sd9ve just jams jams jams...waiting for my fedex label to return it to S&W.The sights on the taurus g2 are awful,mine came loose after some shooting,I had to order a new front sight and loctite em down.

couldn't a squid load/lodged bullet do this too?

I use 9mm nato frequently...nice fireball out of that short barrel.

My rsa has to be in a certain position to go back together,otherwise I couldn't get the slide to lock back.Makes me wonder if people are just tossing their rsa's back in and applying a lot of force to get theirs to lock back during reassembly.

Has anyone noticed if its easier to insert a fully loaded magazine(specifically the 7 round mag) into the shield with the mag guts spring than the stock spring.I just load 6 because 7 makes it so tight I have to use a lot of force just to get it in.

Keep rotating the recoil spring till it reassembles without trouble locking back and remember that position.I called S&W customer service when I first got mine because I thought it was broke or something but it just goes in a certain way,at least for mine it does.

You can chamber a round and slowly pull back on the slide to see if the extractor is gripping the casing or not,it could be your ejector.

I don't trust Tula,9mm,380 and 45acp all had problems mainly failure to fire.

I removed the pigtail spring from my sw9ve and the gun works great.Only problems I ever had was 2 failure to fire with rem umc and 5 failure to fire with tula,I suspect ammo was the problem.I have been thinking about getting the apex spring kit but I'm concerned about reliability considering...

Welcome!Another advantage with sd9 is that its a 9mm and ammo is cheaper too.

I like 124 gr gold dots,hydra-shoks but b/c i couldn't find any i bought the federal personal defense(blue box).

out of the box hipoints suck but you can make them reliable,I own two btw.I bought a sw9ve used and never had one problem with it,the sd9ve is a really good gun with a very attractive price.some folks think that glock is the standard and anything below that is a piece of ****.you have a great...

I walked in a pawn shop once and saw a sw40ve....for 430 dollars.I immediately left without looking at anything else and I'll never go back.actually i should have tried to sell my sw9ve for 300 and if they didnt like that price then id be like "but this one is priced at 430...you'll still be...
