S&w sd 40 ve

Well....I have the 9mm version. It is a great budget pistol. Do not expect it to be something that it is not, nor claims to be. For example, people bash the trigger, yet the trigger is inherent to its intended design (SD). The frame is less ridged than the M&P. But again....who gives a shyt when you know what your buying. Its a budget gun that is fun to shoot and super super reliable. Having said all of this, if you a buying a 1st pistol, increase your budget a couple hun and consider a MP 2.0. They are slick and about the best bang for your buck Ive come across. Or say screw it and pony up for a CZ... Just my opinions of course and I realize that I went beyond your simple question with my answer.....

Had an SD40VE and traded it for an SD9VE, only reason is 1. It was a straight trade, and 2. I already have a browning hi power in 9mm and find 9mm more economical to shoot. If you are hell bent on the 40, or are just getting a deal on one you can't refuse get one and don't look back. The SD40VE is a fantastic pistol, and even though it is a budget pistol it is a straight shooter and the apex spring kit is only 39.99 and smooths out the trigger a bunch. Mags are easy to find, and if you upgrade the sights they are the same ones found on the M&P, same goes for holsters.
The 40 is as reliable as the 9. The 40 is slightly snappier than the 9. I have both just because they are cheap and I didn't have any handgun that were polymer. I run them stock, the trigger pull on both is mushy and long, the break and reset is decent for the price point. I hope you reload, because the calibre is not cheap.
