My personalized SD40VE, enjoy

I too have the same gun in 9mm with Apex springs and for what its designed to do, great value. Like anything, just have to take the time to learn to shoot it well (and that's fun).

looking at the photos of your SD40VE I see another difference between it and my SD40. The end of my barrel does not have the bolster at the end, it is the same diameter from the chamber to the end.

Played around with some grip tape on my slide... I kinda like it

Changed out the sear spring on my SD40VE today..Not too hard for a guy who never worked on guns. There is noticeably less pull on the trigger. Will drop in and let a guy I know put it on a meter and see how many pounds the spring took off. It does shoot better. The steel recoil spring and guide rod was one of the first things I put on it along with night sights..As long as it continues to go bang every time, I'm fine with it for cc. Great fit and size with the caliber I can trust for personal defense.

Had the BP9CC too..what a trigger! As good as any Glock or whatever I've ever shot..

But you covered up part of the "gun capable of firing with magazine removed" thing.

How are you supposed to read it now? LOL!

j/k great job!

That being said...nice job on the stipple...

Well, since the thread has been resurrected, I'll mention that I had a BP9CC too, and the trigger on mine was so light it was scary! I don't have a trigger pull gauge, other than my booger hook, but it was a heck of a lot lighter than any of my 1911s. If it was over 3 pounds, I'd be amazed. That's too darn light on a gun with no safety.

Any one install trijicon or truglo on there sd40? When you ordered the sights did you use the sights for mp shield or mp core?

I have sights from an M&P on my SD... Its my "glove box gun" its pretty awesome, but I don't mind if I lose it or it gets stolen...

 

[brchambersjr]

I have these Truglo tritium sights on my SD40VE. They are for the M&P.

Nice, and adds to the fun of owning it because your mods reflect what you want.

I added a Galloway guide rod/spring to mine... and the Galloway take down plate (which is slightly wider than the stock S&W plate). This makes it 100% easier to take the slide off the pistol -- it is a fantastic addition for $12.00 -- very easy to install, too. I strongly recommend it to anyone with an SD pistol who has any trouble taking the slide off.
