SD9VE and SD40VE Picture Thread

[crump84]

Added a set of Talon Grips to mine this evening. I hand cut these from a sheet. Turned out real well I think.

How do you like the talon grips? I've thought about trying a more granular type grip, I've always used the rubberized type.

Anyway, here's some pics of my pretty standard 40VE - Traction Grips, "hand painted" sights and a little foxx holster. Oh, and a decent cheap flashlight

Crump,

I ordered both the granular and rubber. All i have ever used is the granular and love them. But, i figured I'd try the rubber and if i didn't like it I'd go with the granular again.

I did not like the rubber at all. Feels more like a houge, the grip is just not that much better. So i put the granular on it and LOVE it. SUPER grippy. Changes the gun entirely. I now have nearly all my pistols wearin Talon Grips in granular. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks for the info.. The rubberized grips aren't that bad to me but I can see how a more course material would improve the grip. My only concern would be irritation while carrying. My VE isn't my EDC but it does get thrown in the mix. May have to get a set of the granular just to try it out.

Talon does not cut premade grips for the SD series. They sell a sheet you can cut yourself and thats what I did. $9 free ship.

Hit the range today and took a few pics




This was my best target of the day. Targets are roughly 10 yards away.

That would be a raven concealment light bearing holster for the M&P 9/40 with TLR1 mounted. Cost was roughly 130$

IF you like the holster and want a less expensive option look into bravo concealment. Same holster just the company is not affiliated with magpul in any way so its about 40$ less.

If I was going to do it all again I would go through bravo concealment

If you order from either company there will be a long wait... My friend has a holster on order from bravo concealment that has a 10-12 week lead time.

Here is a link to each website.

Bravo concealment is AMAZING!.

I ordered a OWB/IWB holster for my G22 with a TRL-2 light for a GSSF comp. Guy got back to me 3 hours later and said his turn around time was 30 days.

As the comp got closer and closer I got more worried and asked him how it was going.

He said he couldnt find his TRL2 and didnt think he could buy another for a while. I asked if I could get one without the space for the light any faster.......He dropped everything he was doing and made me a stock IWB/OWB holster without the light THAT NIGHT! Overnight shipped it and I had it the day of the competition! .

Awesome guy over at bravo. They've had my business for a LONG time.

Great Pics!

Thanks for all the pics, they seem to add a lot to the forum, at least for me.

You wanted to see a laser well here you go. But I am going back to the smaller CMR-201 because the CMR-203 Green Laser is just a little to big for me, will go back as soon as I can sell this laser.

I looked and cannot find it again, but I saw somewhere on the web a picture of a SD9VE with a black barrel that was from another S&W 9. I have to say, it looked really cool, and I wouldn't mind having one. Does anyone know what barrel it might have been?

Nothing special about mine, just put a Pachmayer Tactical Grip on it. My IWB holster is a Galco King Tuk.

what model gun did you select on the web site that fit your sd?

 

[boomer1983]

are the sd series better made than the sigma series? i had a sigma back around 03' and the frame mold was all jacked up which has turned me off to the S&W ploy pistols

I cant speak for the sigma as I have only shot a sigma one time, literally one round, I have had a tendon graft on my trigger finger losing 60% of movement and the trigger on the sigma was unworkable for me. I had to use my off hand thumb to complete the trigger pull.

The SD series trigger is much lighter this is the biggest difference.

As for your questions about the frame again cant speak for the sigma but my SD40 VE seems to be a very solid firearm and I have not noticed any out of spec or too much flashing areas on it.

Having worked in a store that sold both, my experiences with the two led me to buy the SD9.

It's the model for the S&W M&P 9/40 Compact (KT472B)
