HEY GUYS!! New member here!!!! Check me out!

Hey there folks, how are ya? I'm Gene, and I'm from New Jersey.

So I'm brand new to this forum (been on others for quite sometime), and wanted to say hi and fill you guys in!!

I did a bunch of research on this forum prior to purchasing my new gun. Which is an SD9VE.. Just picked it up last week and shot it for the first time Friday. And I must say, for the money, everyone is right. It's a great gun besides that trigger. I read about it and figured...eh how bad could it be....I hated it. Lol.

So I had done some more research and that night ordered the Apex spring kit, and the Apex polymer trigger for my gun as well as some Talon grips, and an extended take down bar. All the stuff should be here by the end of this week.


This seems like a great forum, with a lot of helpfully members, I'm just getting in to personal gun ownership after shooting for several years with family/friends. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and definitely looking forward to posting more, speaking with some people, getting some more knowledge and I will absolutely let you guys know how I like my new Apex equipment in my gun. Thanks again!

Hey Jersey Gene, welcome and congrats on the new pistol. You picked a good starter level pistol, it will be a good tool to hold on to for HD. Like most of us here, you will probably find that shooting can become an excellent hobby and decide to buy other guns. Hold on to your first guns in each category, they're kinda like first girlfriends.

Give the stock trigger a fair chance. After three years, I have no complaints.

Hey thanks for all the welcomes! Looking forward to checking out some more posts and reading some tips and tricks. I love forums, I've been apart of them for years with my truck and my car. Tons of information and for the most part a bunch of friendly help. Thanks again!

Welcome, I'd say shoot it a bunch before putting the Apex kit in because if you run into something that needs warranty work you'll end taking the springs back out or lose them when S&W goes through the pistol.

I shot mine for 1 1/2 years before I gave in and got the Apex spring kit, ended up taking the Apex striker spring back out and put original back in as I was getting a lot of fail to fire's
