Took the S&W SD40VE out to the range....Finally!

A friend of mine was up, so we took a couple of pistols to plink with real quick. We shot 45 rounds(30 by me, 15 by him) rounds through my SD40VE. This makes 5 SDVE pistols I have or have been around that just goes bang every time, like it should. We shot 30 rounds of 180 grain FMJ and 15 rounds of 180 grain JHP.
I have said it before and will say it again....for $300 pistols(less if your patient) these things are workhorses. My wife loves her 9mm and I think I will like this .40.

Yeah, they work. If can live with a heavy trigger pull each time you pull the trigger they're OK.

I have one and mine works well also. For the money they are hard to beat.
Them and the Ruger SR9E are excellent entry level guns. The S&W is probably the better deal as it comes with two mags. Thought of getting one to put in my bug out bag.
I will make sure to post my results next time I get it to the range for you. I would like to put a lot of rounds through her next time.

Looks kinds like it in the pix I saw.
Since I carried a revolver for twenty years the trigger is no problem.
Works every time, and I keep it loaded with hydro-shocks, and practice with ball nose.

I am sure the trigger could be addressed same as any other plastic pistol. The Ruger SR series trigger can be slicked up in an hour or two with zero cost. I did the trigger on my wife's SR9, it is night and day difference, and again for zero cost.
I googled that model to get a look.Nice looking gat! Is it a plastic frame with a stainless slide?

Yep, that's the one.
