Hello everyone, I recently purchased a SD40 VE and figured why not join the forum and learn everything there is to know about my weapon? So here I am! I'm originally from Virginia Beach, joined the army about 12 years ago so I've landed on Texas after a few trips around the world. After my last injury I received the news of a medical retirement, part of me is sad and the other part is "desk pop" excited lol. I'm your typical combat vet who is seeking help with my issues instead of popping a pill or letting them put needles in me. I have worked on many a rifle and hand gun while in uniform so tinkering with my weapons are gonna happen, (already notice the loose barrel on my pistol). Already found the fix just need to find where a 20lb spring can be picked up locally. Anyway thanks for this awesome site, I can see a lot of money being spent in the future from the pics I see here. Have a good one and thanks for the opportunity to let me rant. Rounds and remarks complete!!
