Is something wrong with my gun or....

[bigsteve113]

My SW40VE has been accurate and flawless. I was raised with, and trained on DA revolvers. I think that is my advantage with the SW series guns. I actually love the trigger, but then again is still do a lot of DA revolver shooting. Trick is even, steady, consistent pull. Let it fire when its ready, your job is merely to keep sights aligned and squeeze that trigger evenly!!!

I just purchased a new SD40VE and a police trade-in M&P 40. Both guns seem to prefer 165 gr. ammo over the 180 gr. (factory or reloads). Both of my 40's will shoot 1 3/4" - 2 1/4" groups with 165 gr. ammo at 7 yards. The 180 gr. ammo groups 3" - 3 1/2" (not terrible, but should be around 2" IMO).

If you're not used to DA, striker fired pistols; there will be a learning curve to get used to/comfortable with them. I don't find the triggers bad at all on mine, and the 40 is even better (new) than my 9mm with 1,200 rounds through it! But I'm an old revolver guy, I grew up with DA triggers that WERE pretty stiff compared to what's out there now!

Both my SD9Ve and SD40VE are accurate even out to 30 yards. Both have the factory springs and triggers.

I betcha you are just trying too hard.

Try taking a hundred rounds to the range, no more. Shoot each mag slowly and deliberately. Rest a bit between mags. Don't turn a range session into work, and save shooting 500 rounds at once till you've been at it for a good while longer. The 40 is a pretty stout caliber. You hand and arms need to adjust and recover.
