Smith & Wesson SD9VE Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Great pistol for the money.

It is my opinion that the SDVE pistols [9mm or 40S&W] are better than a Glock. The SDVE looks a lot better [contoured slide] and fits my hand better. I have several SDVEs and they all shoot really well. Just as accurate as my Glocks plus I can shoot l

S&W will not let you down.

Qualified at range several times with this firearm. Reliable and practical, looks great, feels great in the hand.

Excellent Quality

I purchased the Smith & Wesson SD9VE because I wanted a firearm that had the same quality and workmanship of another firearm that's popular with law enforcement, ( I won't say the name ) but I didn't have the $500 to $700, the S&W S

Reliable

I have had this firearm for many years. I have put over 2,500 rounds through it and not one issue. Had it inspected and was told looks brand new. If you clean it properly I see it lasting a very long time.

Horrible Trigger

The trigger is so difficult to work with. By the time you’ve finally continued to pull and pull and pull you’re no longer accurate. No safety on this gun and has an extremely ROUGH back grip. I should’ve spent more and looked more into r

Great Defense Handgun!

I bought my SD9VE a few months back. I've fired around 800 rounds out of it without a single failure. The defense trigger (striker fire) is not too bad, I actually like a heavier trigger. Overall, this is a great handgun made by a great American comp

Great pistol for the money.

This pistol is just as good as a Glock and costs at least $200 less. You can buy a lot of ammo with that $200. I have several SD & SDVE models in both 9mm and 40 S&W. They all shoot great. No malfunctions of any kind. Love the 16+1 capacity on the

Now I contemplate carrying this over my glock

I bought the gun a couple weeks ago haven’t shot it yet but I love the looks and size not to big not to small it makes me contemplate carrying this instead of my g17

Good economy

This Smith&Wesdon is truly great quality for the money. And Academy Sports Store sells it for less. Wheather it’s the sights or a glove like grip, I enjoy the tight groupings at the firing range

Good product just what I needed

Bought a few months ago , service was Great at the store, and great price on the firearm!!!!!

Great defense gun

Got this gun 3 months ago and just shot it last couple weeks. Works perfectly! 8 pound trigger pull doesn't bother me at all, it actually makes sure you know you're pulling it and is no bother in a critical situation. Put 200 rounds through usin

I bought this gun 1/29/18 it lasted 3 months, I shot about 200 rounds and the trigger spring has detached. I have contacted Smith and Wesson to see if there's something can get fixed or not. p.s. I bought this gun due to all the positive reviews but

Great gun

I bought this gun for my wife about 3 weeks ago. She loves it and so do I. Easy to handle and shoot. Breakdown and cleaning is a breeze. Would recommend to any. Only thing I have against it is there is no safety.

Where price meets performance from a trusted name

I've had the S&W SD9VE a few weeks now and have shot quite a bit through it, mostly reloads that a friend of mine had tucked away. Not one hiccup. It is a wonderful handgun at a great price, and it is reliable to the point that it is almost borin

Perfect carry gun!!

I recently purchased this gun and have only fired it a few rounds. So far I am pleased the gun.... easy to load and has a good feel to it. I did purchase a rubber sleeve made especially for the S&W MP guns for a better fit to my hand. Good pistol and

Durable, I carry it everyday on my property!

I’ve had this Smith&Wesson SD9 VE 3-years now, not one problem whatsoever! I carry it on my property, we have black bears that will sit and watch me work, before I even see them! This is a good, reliable, durable, pistol. Kind of like the toughn

BANG for you Buck

Bought it on Friday, and put a couple hundred rounds through it over the weekend. Ate everything I put it in, whether it was my own ammo or the range's reloaded brass. Trigger is a little stiff, but that's not a bad thing to me. My 10 year old s

Smith Wesson

Nice and easy pistol, loving it.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Value for Both Price & Reliability

I bought this gun in used/like new condition for $195. The trigger pull is not great at all so I upgraded to the Apex Kit. If you do research on the gun this is an easy solution for a problem that is what it is and its inexpensive. This gun is cheap enoug

It’s been a week and I love it! I’ve been to the gun range twice and I’m so comfortable with it. Money well spent.

Smith & Wesson 9mm

Nice gun. Shoots well. Very few jams. Not happy at all with the plastic trigger and heavy trigger pull. Good price for this average gun.

Great Handgun for the Price!

I bought this as my first semi auto handgun mainly because of price. I have fired about 100 rounds, no jams and accuracy is good. This gun does what it’s supposed to do and I am very satisfied with the purchase. I definitely recommend this firearm.

Good gun

I bought this gun because of the price. Good capacity. It fits good in my hand and there is very manageable recoil. The only problem is it takes some work to disassemble with the take down for cleaning.

SD9VE Awesomeness

I bought this pistol from Academy back in March 2017. No complaints! Excellent ergonomics, accurate, super reliable, and costs about $200+ less than a Glock. If you can't find a holster for it, the M&P holsters will work. I'm former military

quality firearm ,at a affordable price

this gun shoots good. And it feels good in my hand. Everyone complains about the trigger. I like it. It feels good. No problems

Horrible

I've had this gun for about a year and a half and I hate it, the weight is absolutely horrible the recoil for a 9mm is insane and I almost can't take the gun down because of the small takedown pin. Its just a knock-off Glock, I'm not a big

Great Budget Pistol

The SD9VE is a very good budget friendly pistol. But the one thing any purchasers should do, is replace the plastic guide rod assembly. It will very much improve accuracy and reliability, in both SD9VE & SD40VE. It's guide rod assembly s the bigg

Great Gun!

Bought this gun on Father's Day and took out to the range the following day. Have shot over 1500 rounds and have NOT had any type of issues with the gun. Minimum recoil. Very satisfied!

Great Gun for the money!

I purchased this gun after getting my carry permit. I purchased it for the name S & W and the price, because I was on a budget. After four years , I still love this pistol, and have taught all my children about gun safety. My oldest just received her

Awesome

Bought this pistol on spur of the moment when everyone was in a panic and everything was sold out. I used to to qualify for my CHL shot perfect.

AWESOME PISTOL, WITH A LITTLE WORK.

I've enjoyed this pistol very much since purchasing in March 2017. Have fired it almost every weekend since, and eats any & all ammo I feed it. "0" malfunctions since new. I highly recommend the Apex Trigger & Trigger Spring Kit, wh

Great Price, Average Return

Overall this gun was what you'd expect for lower price range. It shoots straight, eats all types of ammo, and I liked the looks (mine is blacked out). Now for the reasons I put it down 2 stars. The first and foremost was the trigger. It really doesn&

For a Cheap Pistol...

Title says it all, for a cheap gun you cannot beat it. It's not the most accurate, the trigger sucks, and some of the internals are plastic. Yet with that being said, it's a great beginner pistol and is accurate enough to feel safe with for defe

Love it!

I purchased this as my first handgun and other than getting accustom to the trigger it works great. My daughter and I have shot very well with it. Since the trigger was such a pull I bought a trigger kit and had my brother to install it so now it has 5.5l

great gun for the money

I bought this gun a week ago and was very pleased with it and the only down side was the magazine rattled a little bit but i found a way to fix that and if you wont a dependable firearm for a great price this is the one for you

Very Reliable

I Bought this gun about a year ago. I have not had a single issue with it. No misfires. Very accurate. No complaints whatsoever.

Great Value...

I have had my gun for two years I have nothing but problems with it... hate it!!

So far it's AWESOME!!

I bought this gun in April 2014, and have now put 1000 rounds through the gun. I have not had a single problem with this gun. No FTFs or FTEs, nothing. I trust this gun as much as a Glock. It is a super easy to shoot, and very accurate. I carry this gun,

Good for the money.

This is a good, but utilitarian, gun. It's reliable, functions with any decent ammunition, reasonably accurate and inexpensive. If you want more, you have to pay more. But remember: If all cars were Cadillacs, many would have to walk.

Everything you need!

I got mine about two years ago at the local Academy. I have lost count of rounds that I have fired through it. I am up over 1000 easy. The only failures I have had were shooting some hand loads a friend cooked up that were super dirty. Otherwise it has sh

A STEAL FOR THE PRICE

I purchased this SD9VE about a year ago and have put 600-800 rounds through it with no hick-ups. coming from a revolvers the trigger was not an issue and I recently purchased an XD9 about a month ago and beside getting use to the trigger action on it I re

Great value gun.

This gun is reliable and has taken every kind of ammo I've put through it without any issues. It shoots well and is definitely user friendly. It came with 2 magazines which is cool In my opinion however, the Smith is not as accurate as the gen4 Glock

Very disappointed

I got the pistol for Christmas and I hate it. The magazines rattle, the trigger is absolutely horrible and on top of that I can't make more than 3 shots without a jam.

Economical and reliable!

I have fired hundreds of rounds through my SD9VE without fail. The trigger pull is 8.25 ibs. and rather lengthy, however; there is no excuse to not fire a good course of fire. I have recommended it to several others for it's accuracy, reliability and

Great buy!

After reading the reviews on here I purchased this pistol this weekend. Fired 70 rounds without any issues. I was worried at first if the recoil of a 9mm would be too much for my wife and 2 boys, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that bad a

A Very Nice Budget Pistol!

When I bought and then shot my M&P Shield, I became sold on S&W products. This firearm I was a little on the fence about as a result of the price and it not being an M&P. I took a chance and bought it. Took in the range and absolutely fell in

Handles my needs

Bought this item for personal protection and have been nothing but satisfied with my purchase. It's light weight design and great price is outstanding.

Fantastic

After researching 9mm caliber firearms this one high really good reviews. Made a trip to Academy to get a feel for the gun and it was a match. Immediately took it to the range to let off some rounds. I had no problems with jams or misfires. The firearm ca

The Glock Killer

I have 2 of these, one stock and one tricked out with all the upgrades. I had a Glock 17 but sold it after buying this gun, don't get me wrong a Glock is a GREAT gun but I like this one better and it's 240.00 cheaper. NEVER had any problem with

Perfect budget gun

I bought this pistol a year ago and have shot it several times. I think for the money this is a great pistol.

Just got mind today so far so good run a mags no problems

Such a great gun! Read this real review

This was the best purchase in regards to guns that I own. Here is break down if you are looking in regards to purchasing this firearm. 1) Stainless steel slide is nice to have versus a blued slide. 2) Two 15 round chrome magazines, some guns just come wit

Awsome gun

Purchased this pistol about 4 minths ago probly my best investment

Great reliable gun

I have owned the sd9ve for a little over a year and love everything about it. The gun has never given me any trouble with ftf or fte. It has functioned exactly as advertised for over 1500 rounds that I have put through it. I did a lot of research on this

Smooth Gun

I like it. It fits great in my hand and is a lightweight pistol. The front of the gun pops up when you shoot because it is light. However, not much recoil. The only downside for me is that the gun does not have a safety on it so I wouldn't keep it lo

Dependable and Affordable.

A stainless gun with 2 mags made in the USA for around $300. My dad and I purchased 2 of these a year ago. I have been carrying mine for about 8 months every day in a raw dog. For the price it's hard to beat. The trigger isn't great but apex sel

Clean shooting gun. I have run over 800 rounds through it without a jam. Excellent gun for the price would recommend to anyone.

Great for protection, mediocre at the range.

Smith and Wesson SD9 VE 9mm

I bought this gun along with ammo on the 4th of July 2016 before the Elections and I'm glad that I did. Great gun, shoots all types of 9mm ammo, easy to clean and lube at a great price, American made and comes with a super warranty. Took it to the ra

Decent for The Money But Not Recommended

This gun was defective out of the box and it's a common issue that many people are having. I don't mind a lower quality product for this price but I do expect a firearm that is functionally sound.

Best Bang for the Buck

Absolutely a great buy. My first handgun purchase. The trigger needs a little break in time but after 800 rounds and a Polish on the sear.it's good to go. Recoil, what recoil, My 15 year old daughter shot with no problems. All in all a great gun.

Great gun for the price

Bought this gun a couple months ago. Put about 150 rounds through it so far. Not the most accurate, but not too bad off. Very reliable, very affordable. I'm pleased with it.

Great gun for the price!

I bought this gun when went in to buy a shield. Saw this on sale for $299 and had to have it. I've put about 300 rounds through it and oeats whatever you feed it. I added a trigger spring kit to it which reduced the pull to around 4.5 lbs. In it just

Great fun gun

Bought this gun about a month ago and it has been a lot of fun. It will shoot steel case, brass case, it doesn't seem to matter how cheap or expensive, it will fire it all. Will not jam (in my experience with it). I tried everything to cause it to ja

Great Gun for the money!

This is pistol is fun to shoot. After shooting about 300 rounds and giving it a good cleaning, the gun shot a lot smoother and more accurate. It's super easy to break down and clean.

NOT STRAIGHT!!

This SD9VE has not hot yet since I buy. SEE, NOT STRAIGHT!!

Fire when ready

I bought this gun on 14 September 2016. Fired a combination of rounds; ball, hollow point, and subsonic ammo and it all came out screaming without any hiccups. I love this gun, it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to purchase it. Great buy.

Great gun for the value

I bought this gun a little over a month ago. I have put about 400 rounds through it and have had no issues. Easy to break down. Heavier trigger pull but overall very happy with this gun

Excellent quality!

Excellent gun! Comfortable, shoots great. Price is unbeatable. Underpriced, in my opinion.

Poor man's Glock

GREAT gun at a fraction of the Glock price. Never had an issue with mine, and love the 16 +1 feature. Not too heavy and the safety is in the trigger. Worth every penny. Comes in .40 too.

Awesome Gun

I bought this 6 months go. No issues. Great pistol.

Light weight & easy to handle

I bought this pistol ( S&W 9mm ) six months ago and have shot about 250 to 300 rounds, this gun is great!! Thinking about purchasing the .40 caliber.

A lot of gun for the money!

This was my first hand gun purchase, and it's turned out to be an excellent choice. I suppose the SD will always fight the "Sigma stigma" but if you evaluate it for what it is, you'll find a solid, reliable, smooth-running hand gun, an

A Best Kept Secret & Great Value

Built on the notorious Sigma, this gun is on a different plateau. Looks like a Glock, same weight, breakdown and clone-like. Doesn't have the former's reputation, but at half the price, it merits more than a quick glance. It is balanced, comfort

great for the price

I picked mine up over a year ago. Never a feeding problem. It has a 8# trigger for a reason, its the guns safety. that said it will take practice to get use to it. It will never be like a single action. For a $300 gun and S&W warranty you cant go wron

My first handgun

Superb Reliability & Accurate w Trigger Control

Wow this thing has never malfunctioned, not once. I went 500+ rounds (from the first shot ever) without cleaning it and it never had so much as a hickup. Finally, I decided I was neglecting it and I did clean it after that. Basically, the 500 round dirty

A great gun at $100 more!

Just crossed 1000 rounds. Never ONE ftf/fte, NOTHING! Shocked. Light as a feather, very accurate (well, as accurate as I am anyway, I know it'snot a match pistol), easy to disassemble/clean. I wouldn't say it's a great 1st gun only because

Great Gun!

I bought this as my first handgun. After shooting approximately 600 rounds through this gun it only jammed once. I am pretty should that jam was causes by my grip not being good enough.

Like the gun

Shoots great and I like it because less recoil and every than I shoot before

It is simply, a steal!!

This has got to be the best pistol deal ever. Big time name brand company, great quality pistol. Great for self defense, home defense, or just the shooting range. $289.99 is ridicules

Very Reliable! Fires any 9mm round in the store!

I've run about 700+ rounds through this pistol, some shooting for accuracy, and other for speed at close distance. It has fired flawlessly and accurately. I have used just about every ammo Academy stocks, and other discount places as well, without a

Affordable, great ccw

I bought this as my first gun, and ccw. It is small enough for ccw. I love shooting it, I have put nearly 1000 rounds through, it has a really heavy trigger pull, i think its like a 8 or 8.5 lb trigger pull. I have gotten used to it, it has a slight kick

Great gun for the price

I bought this gun about a year ago, I hadn't posted a review because I was waiting to take to the range a few times and see just how well it functioned. I am very pleased to say that after about 500 rounds it has held up amazingly, I'm glad I ma

Been waiting to purchase this for awhile. A new shooter and enjoying this baby!

Awesome value gun

My wife has had hers for almost 6 months and ran close to 4000 rounds through it with out one problem. Very dependable just did an apex trigger swap to drop the pull for her. She loves it and it's very accurate right out of the box. Highly recommend.

This is a great gun for the price. It shoots great and straight. I have not had any problems with this gun at all...

Great value

This was my second firearm purchase. I also have a shield. In all honesty I like this one better. I have a glock 19 and they are very similar. The glock is a little more user friendly but this a great gun as well...and you can't beat the price!

Great pistol for the money.

Good pistol for the price. Wish it had a safety though

My first gun...great choice!

I've had this gun for a couple of years now. I bought it from Academy and it was the very first gun I ever bought. It has held up very well and has never jammed or misfired and it has eaten through everything i've shot through it. it's the

Wonderful Gun for a Woman

I am a big fan of my gun. It is beautiful and very easy to use. Not too difficult to pull the slide back. Fits very comfortably in my hand and isn't very heavy. The recoil isn't too bad but you should definitely hold the gun with both hands whil

Smooth, well balanced

I've had this gun for two years now and have ran about 500 rounds through it of all mfgs...even the cheap Russian steel 115 gr...absolutely no issues. No jams, no misfires. Very accurate.

EXCELLENT Gun For The Price!

I don't normally write reviews on things I purchase but I felt the need to on this for anyone who is on the fence about purchasing this hand gun. I own a Glock 19 9mm, a Glock 17 9mm and a S&W M&P 9mm and have paid all in the range of 450.00

Great Gun

I would suggest this gun to anyone. I was really wanting to get a Glock, but there wasn't one available every time I went to the local Academy. I finally decided to purchase this one instead of waiting. After getting out and shooting this gun today I

Fantastic gun if you start without bias

The 1 and 2 star reviews all sound like user errors. I took a chance on this, and it really paid off-- I absolutely love it. It isn't as smooth as the M&P editions, but if you don't go in with any expectations, you'll be pleasantly surp

Great For The Price

I would suggest the gun to any first time buyer. Can't beat the price! I have put about about 1,000 rounds through it so far and have had minimal problems. Really easy to field strip and clean. The trigger pull is a bit heavy. You really have to mean

Great gun....awesome for the price

One of the best in it's class.

I was looking for a 9mm between 200 and 300 dollars. This seemed to fit the bill. The extra magazine and being made in the USA are what made it worth the 20.00 jump in price from the Taurus G2. I didn't find the trigger all that heavy. I have no trou

POC

Bought the gun on January 1st. January 2nd took it to the gun range and it kept jamming. Changed ammo and it was still jamming.

For the Price !!!!!

I bought this a year ago. I have put 650 rounds through it with only 6 jams. For the price I am going to by the .40.

Great gun for price and function

Bought my SD9VE last April and put several hundred rounds through it in the first few months. Gun is very accurate and achieved 5" cluster at 20 yds after a couple visits to the range. Negative reviews on accuracy most likely from inexperienced owner

We purchased this gun last year for home protection. It is very nice and we were pleased with the value. The gun is just a classic buy a great long standing brand.

Great for self defense

Great price for a self defense firearm. They took the best of the last two S&W and made this one better. Good fit on the hand very nice looking. Very light and well made. Find the trigger very smooth, use a few times at the rage and very light, easy t

Ok for the price

Not a bad gun for the price. Not very accurate though. But is pretty smooth

Worth the price!

I've had this gun for 4 months now, and really enjoy shooting it. Good accuracy, and worth the money.

Great gun

Perfect for home defense. Light and easy for my wife to use if need be

Great Functional Pistol for the Price

The Sigma is a reliable, accurate semi-automatic pistol with a four inch barrel. The trigger pull was heavy when first purchased. But an easy search online brings up a way to make the trigger pull manageable. I've had this firearm for four years and

Reliable weapon, fires everytime!

I bought this gun over 2 years ago, what I like the most is when I pull the trigger it fires! the trigger pull is just right and in a real life situation that is about just right. Easy to clean and the longer barrel places my rounds on target. No one can

Great Buy!!

I bought this gun 3 weeks ago and have gone shooting frequently and have had no problem with it. Light weight, amazing accuracy.

Excelent Carry Gun

I bought this firearm at Acadamy Sports 6 months ago because I had one about a year ago but sold it. I finally got to the range to break it in. Ran about 250 rounds of different ammo including Military Ballistics, Geco, Independence FMJ and HP, Magtech, w

Great Features

It is was a good purchase I recommend it for Defense and best of all that come accessories for her.

Good Product

Purchased 5 months ago, good handling, easy cleaning, and easy adjustments.

Great gun for the price- Home defense + 1

Good grips for both my wife and I. Holds plenty of ammo for those who might miss. Does not take much to pull the trigger. All and all one of the best priced for product. Go to store and handle it and make the decision for yourself.

1st 9MM And its Pleasure to Shoot.

Bought Mine 3 Months Ago Have 600 Rounds Through it Now Did the Apex Trigger Pull Reduction Kit Myself. Very Nice Shooting Pistol Fun at the Range wish I would have Bought one Sooner. Easy and Simple to Clean a Great Value.

Great Value in a 9MM semi-automatic

I bought this pistol at Academy a few months ago. I LOVE it. I have had no problems so far. It has fired all kinds of ammo from the cheapest up to the good stuff with NO problems. I would recommend this firearm to anyone. I carry it every day.

Great gun for the price

I've had this gun for about 6 months. No problems what so ever. Shoots great, feels good in my hands. Great starter gun.

Not made for daily carry

Bought this in October 2015. Knew it had a heavy trigger when purchased but with a $20 spring kit that is no longer an issue. My problem is rust. Gun started rusting on the slide near the rear scallops. Its been a hot summer and some days we have no ac in

Awesome Handgun at a great price!

Purchased the SD9VE when it was on special buy at $279.99! Let me just say even at regular price of 319.99, you will not find a better shooting or preforming gun for the price! I was really impressed with the overall performance of this gun. Its a glock r

Value Self Defense Gun

Purchased this gun with a self defense weapon in mind. For the price it is a very affordable and reliable option. As others have stated the trigger pull on the gun is about 8-9 lbs and pretty heavy. If you have this gun in mind as something to target shoo

Very Impressed!

I decided to buy this gun about a month ago after doing countless hours of research. So far, I have put about 500 rounds through it and I love it! One of the things that continually arose in my research was the 8lb. trigger pull. Do not let this deter you

Handles very well, I like the way it fits my hand.

This was purchased for home defense. It really handles great.

Awesome experience

I'm so thankful for being able to get this pistol for my home defense. It has done me well and of course the staff pointed me in the right direction. This pistol is one that I always use especially when out at the ranch and needing something for self

Great piece & price!

I just bought it and fired off 200 rounds at the range today. We absolutely love this piece. It's a great gun for a great price.

Great value and reliable.

I bought this gun recently and I'm surprised by the quality for the price. The things keeping me from giving 5 stars is the polymer guide rod and heavy trigger pull, but these can be fixed by buying an aftermarket steel guide rod and trigger spring k

I love it now that it's broken in

I'm a "late middle age" woman who's been shooting since I was 7 years old, when I bought a BB gun with my allowance. I've owned about a dozen handguns over the years and always managed to find something wrong with them. One of the

S&W SD9

After applying a Talon rubber grip to eliminate the plastic toy gun feel, I went from somewhat pleased to very pleased with the gun. I've shot 200-300 rounds with no issues at all.

Great

I bought mine about a year ago and no problems. I have put 500 rounds through it and mostly the cheapest ammo with no problems. It does have a high trigger pull but even my wife who is a novice did just fine. Cleaning is easy, and once broken in even load

Excellent low cost pistol

Don't let the gun snobs fool you. The SD9VE and the SD40VE are excellent low cost pistols. Smith & Wesson are to be commended for the quality of this product. It is a basic pistol, yes. But, straight out of the box, it fired a tight target groupi

would buy again even if higher priced

not cheaply made at all....great price and a darn fine shooting hangun,that will eat any ammo it's fed...will be getting another one for a nightstand gun

Worst trigger action ever!

Don't waste your money on this pistol. The trigger pull is 10 Lbs and it doesn't get any better after 500 rounds. spend an extra $100 and get a much better gun. Not good for home defense or anything else for that matter.

Great feel!

Bought this a week ago at Academy for $299. Great feeling gun and great price. For self defense and the price, this is the gun to buy!

Well made, high capacity, reliable pistol.

I caught this on sale at Academy and bought it for my collection. I am a big Smith and Wesson fan and this pistol has a much improved trigger over my 40VE. Reliability is the most important thing I look for in a self defense firearm and this one is just t

I like the design

After reading other reviews, I was surprised that so many people find the trigger tough to pull. I've owned this weapon for two years & I like it. You can not expect a $300 gun to be as fancy as a $600 gun. I like the way the whole mag is integra

Fits my hand just right.

What can I say,good gun,for a good prices.like shopping at academy for firearms.

Great gun

Just got this and shot for the first time today. Put 50 rounds through it without any problems. Groups were tight at 10 and 20 yds. Trigger felt just fine to me dont know what all the complaints are about. Shot a Glock a while back I was not impressed. So

i love my cheap gun

they told me it was cheap....but i love this pistol

Great pistol for the money.

One of the best gun values in today's market. Just as good as a Glock and it costs $200 to $300 less than a Glock. Holds 16 plus 1 of 9mm. Was surprised by just how accurate it is, if I do my part. Have fired several different brands of ammo, includi

I have had this firearm for about 5 years, put 2000+ rounds through it. Has eaten everything from cheap steel to Hornady Critacal duty. The trigger does take some time to get used to, 8.5 pound pull. Unfortunetly, it does effect accuracy. I have upgra

With over 4000 plus rounds of every kind of ammo no jams, no problems. Very accurate with Independence aluminum. Wish the trigger was 7lbs instead of 8. I love this gun.
