what kind of finish do you have on the grip?

I mean it looks like grip tape like youd put on a skate board or running board....and that is a good Idea, that I might just do today
No, its not grip tape, its actually a custom stippling job I had done... It feels great, to be honest, I absolutely HATED the feel of the stock grip, the only bad thing about stippling is that it voids the factory warranty on the frame, but this is not my only gun, as I have many others, I don't really care about the warranty of a $290 gun, even though it is one of my favorites
.... I'm glad you like the grip, I'll it'll be done in a couple of weeks with the new guide rod in the mail and the cerakote gonna be baked on next week...

Wow, I love the stipling!!! But I do like my warranty too. How much and how long did it take?
SD40VE
I am getting me one of these, SD40VE this Saturday. I was wanting ANY input from anyone that has any knowledge of this gun. And any recommendations for a laser. Thank you.

So, I took my SD40VE to my gun clubs Sunday "Gunday" yesterday, despite being amongst numerous Glocks, M&Ps, 1911s, HKs and XDs, my SD40VE performed flawlessly and everyone that shot it stayed in disbelief of my lil $300 gun.
Current mods include:
Custom stippling job
Galloway Precision SS guide rod 17lb spring
TruGlo TFO sights
Apex spring kit
Inforce APL

How is the new Galloway SS guide rod performing in your SD40VE? I am thinking about getting one.

Uploaded with ImageShack.usI've got an M&P 40 as well and I also enjoy my M&P more, but my SD40VE is a pretty nice shooter too.... My SD is modded with a galloway precision stainless steel guide rod, an Apex spring kit, lowered my trigger weight down to about 5.5lbs, not too bad and Truglo TFO sights... Its a good gun, certainly NOT my favorite, but for $287 you can't go wrong with a stock one, I just wanted to see what I could do to make it better.... Its a good weapon.
OP: great mods on your pistol! Not sure why stippling would void the warranty, though, but if it makes it more functional for you, then it's worth it.
IMO, the only thing wrong with the SD9VE/SD40VE is that they don't have snob appeal. It's a good, solid pistol that does what it is intended to do, and does it well. A lot of people don't like the trigger, but I really don't mind it...it's not as heavy as some DA revolvers I have owned. Obviously it's not a 1911 trigger, and this gun wasn't intended as a target pistol, but for a SD/HD gun with no thumb safety, I prefer a heavier trigger.
When they first came out, I bought a Bersa BP9CC, which is actually a very nice carry pistol...BUT on the one I had, the trigger had to be less than three pounds! I kid you not...it was so light that I was scared to handle it when loaded, so I traded it back in at the shop where I bought it, and they gave me full credit toward another gun (I hadn't fired it live yet...just dry fire.) Some people, or even many people, may disagree but as I said, I prefer a heavier trigger on a gun with no thumb/grip safety. Just my preference...YMMV.
