Silly Question- SD9 VE...

[Hawg Rider]

I have a silly little, totally unimportant, question, but it's bugging me...can one of you SD gurus tell me what the VE stands for in the SD9 VE and SD40 VE? I haven't been able to find it anywhere..."Version, Enhanced" maybe? Thanks.

I was told it meant "Value Edition" but it may well mean something else entirely.

It stands for "Value Enhanced".

value enhanced. they made some changes from the SD9 to the sd9ve. it made it more budget friendly and brought the price down $50-$75. they didnt use the melonite on the frame and axed the front night sight. this brough retail costs down to $300-$400 depending on where you buy one

Not quite.
The V and the E refer to 2 different things.
V = cheaper, or "value".
E = enhanced trigger, which is now the standard in current production Sigma/SD series.
I had one of the original non-enhanced triggers, which were quickly dropped. You don't want one.

In my opinion, it should be "Very Effective."
