Here's my SD9VE with Graphite Talon grips.

Well here is what started all this. My recent purchase from Gander Mountain. Price matched plus 10% at Academy Sports. Got all of this OTD at less than $375. I have yet to shoot but plan on doing so this weekend.

I don't quite understand machining the slots in the slide. I know S&W has a version with slots but the barrel is cut to cut down flip. If you just slot the slide it seems that you will have more flip and might need a heavier recoil spring to compensate for the lighter slide.

I can see that it adds a little bling but maybe there s another reason I don't understand.

That Case is awesome. I've been looking for one just like that. Where did you get it?

Academy. It's a cheapo $15-20 case.

My Twin Pair SDVEs

I like the SD40VE so much that I acquired the SD9VE.


I have no idea why this photo is upside down; it's right side up on my computer and phone.





Eventually I will polish these up so that they're easier to clean and I will add a Pachmayr grip to the SD40VE. I've already installed the Galloway stainless steel guide rod and spring (with an extra 20 lbs. of tension). Spring looks weird going in so I'm curious to know how it's going to shoot now. It's got extra weight already, which I like, so I'm encouraged.

If I can find a gunsmith with weekend hours somewhere in the San Fernando Valley, I'd be inclined to go with the Apex kit everybody keeps talking about because all this new training I'm doing is making overcoming the pull weight and long take up a bit of a hassle. When dry firing and not doing anything particularly tricky it's fine but I'm starting to wonder if I should consider making the adjustment.

Other than that, these are fine guns. Certainly for the price (here in California, about $400 ea. after taxes and fees).

[/IMG] For give me i'm learning how to post pictures,this is my S&W 40VE

 

[bigdaddyrobb]

SD9VE - Cerakoted black, frame was bead blasted to reduce the shiny, Apex trigger kit, polished feed ramp, 20# recoil spring, wide body take down lever, US Flag rear cover plate, mounted flash/strobe light, pachmeyer grip (will be here tomorrow). I had the Houge grip on, but the palm swell made it just a bit too wide for my hands.

I had some leftover burnt bronze after cerakoting my AR and 12 gauge.

She'll alternate as a winter carry with my Shield and she'll remain stock as I have no problems with anything including the trigger

This is my baby. Painted sights and cheapo light.
