Hello. I have conceal carried a Taurus snob nose .38 for 3 years now. I decided to get a second firearm - something with a longer barrel - and decided to go with the Smith and Wessen SD40 VE budget pistol.
I'm learning a lot about my pistol. The only concern that I have is racking the slide vs releasing the slide lock.
When I rack the slide slowly it always jams the round. I have to clear the weapon and either rack the slide rapidly or have the slide locked then release the slide lock when the magazine is in place to successfully chamber a round.
Is it normal for this pistol?
Also I am looking into holster options. Amazon.com doesn't have many OWB holsters for my pistol.
