Default 9VE at the range

So, this evening I went to the range for a much needed shooting session and I started with my 9VE, then my Bodyguard 380. I find myself enjoying these guns more every time I shoot them, anybody else finding the same thing?

The 9VE's always a joy to shoot.

I love my SW9VE!! Im going to hit the 1000 round mark when i take my date out to do some shooting. i do however have a question for you guys...have any of you changed the sights on your SW9VE and if you did..what brand did you get and were did you get them from? i want to update to better sights but not sure what would be best and still not cost me alot of money. im very much interested in the green dotted sights.

thanks.

Meprolight night sights about $70.00, and easy to install. Check ManVentureOutpost.com

Install front, use pliers and pull factory front sight straight up off the slide, Rear, use a drift punch, tapping hammer, and the supplied hex key with the new sights. Rear removes from left to right and installs right to left. Good luck and enjoy.

I put 100 rounds a week through mine and carry it now about 50 % of the time.

I enjoy it tremendously and it gets better the more I shoot it.

I haven't changed my sights. I'm pretty happy with the stock ones. I also have been carrying mine more, but that may change as the weather warms up and the clothing gets lighter. Still very satisfied with the 9VE though.
