As a comparison, the Kel-Tec P-11 I use as my daily carry seems to have a heavier trigger pull. I have not put that many rounds through my SD9VE but the trigger pulls is not that bad.

Looking at an SD9VE. What's the big deal?

I have a friend looking to buy his first hand gun. He was thinking of a Glock 19. I told him he could save $200 buying a SD9VE and he, (being a new shooter) probably could tell the difference.

If possible, you should have your friend try both. The stock OEM trigger setup between the two is vastly different. Hinged + long pull to fully cock the striker v.s. trigger shoe w/safety blade + shorter pre-cocked striker. He's got to feel them both under live fire to make a choice.

Best idea yet.
Shoot, Shoot, Shoot than Shoot some more.
We all need to be proficient or better.
The operative phrase here is "train with it". All the folks that want to improve on the S&W design engineers are quite beyond my capacity. None of the auto pistols can shoot like my my 629 in 8 3/8. Not made to. Sure, I buffed up the sear a bit so I can shoot SA with about 2 lbs of TP but that's a long barreled revolver made for that type of shooting. Point is if I'm too concerned about triggers and sights and shooting with great precision I'll shoot a revolver. If I want high cap mags and rapid fire capabilities I shoot an ACP. I have a pair of SD9VEs and love them right out of the box. Making a bunch of mods to a piece made for fast shooting makes little sense to me. But that's me and I'm old and tired. Bang Bang!!

JaPes, I agree and plan on taking him to the range to shoot my SD9 and rent a Glock 19.
