Bought this at Rural King in Lafayette,IN. Very accurate,easy to shoot. Comes with 2 mags which is awesome considering the price. I did swap out the guide rod for a stainless steel one. It come stock with a plastic rod, it didn't give me any issues but I trust steel more than plastic. This gun is worth the money.

I was looking for a 9mm pistol bargain and I feel like I found it. The price can't be beat and so far it seems to be a very good quality firearm. I have recommended the SD9VE to several friends and co-workers. I would buy it again. (Posted on 7/27/2018)Quality Price Value - Love It Want A Bigger S&W Review by Douglas

I love this pistol and although I need it like a hole in the head, I want a S&W M&P 10 round.45!!! Somebody please show me some love and send me one!!!! OK, guess there's no takers so I'll just have to save up some of my old may pay (social security) and buy my own one of these days!!! (Posted on 7/17/2018)Quality Price Value - Great Pistol, Great Value, Love It!! Review by Douglas

Although I have not yet been able to shoot with it, it is a great pistol! It is easy to rack, much easier than my Taurus PT111 9mm, Walther CCP 9mm, Ruger LCP .380 (hard to rack), and Hi-Point JHP .45 (a real bear to rack) and it also has the easiest thumb release slide lock of all my pistols. Take down isn't that bad, it is a bit stiff but I push the top of the slide against the bottom edge of my table and then can easily pull down the release buttons and disassemble the gun. I'm 70 and after years of working on a computer and having repetitive motion disorders in my hands, I can still manage to break down this pistol with ease. It is a handsome pistol, I love the stainless slide, it looks like my Taurus PT111 but is a bit bigger and holds 4 more rounds, a real plus!. I've always wanted a Smith & Wesson and thanks to the great sale price and $25 rebate, I am now a proud owner of one of America's finest made firearms. I highly recommend RK Guns and the excellent service I've had at my local Rural King in Marion, Ohio!! Thanks and God Bless Y'All!! (Posted on 7/17/2018)Quality Price Value - Good gun. On target out of the box Review by Bonita Tom

Only two things I do not like about this gun.Quality Price Value
The trigger is hard to get used to... long travel before a less than crisp break.
The disassembly takes a three armed person.
Everything else is aces. Out of the box dead on. 64 rounds, no failures of any kind. Hardly noticeable recoil (9 mm target ammo). 2 magazines. Filing for the $25 rebate on the S&W website was a breeze.
RK delivery was smooth and painless at the local store in Bonita..
Good gun! Good price!

I bought this to use for my conceal carry class. it has a good balance and is very accurate. I like how balanced it is. It was easy to upgrade after owning for a while to a shorter trigger pull. My wife now uses it and she loves it. (Posted on 12/13/2017)Quality Price Value - Quality value entry level firearm Review by Dan
-
This is the third SD9 I have purchased from rural king one for each of us in the family. After researching several entry handguns I always seem to go back to this firearm. A quality entry level no frills handgun by a quality maker Smith and Wesson. Acurrate, easy to break down and care for, I never have had a single issue with any of the three. Fire any type of ammo I put through it without issues. Trigger is a little funky but it is a dual action without a safety I installed a trigger kit in one and took care of the long pull but without it’s still a nice shooter. I have nothing really bad to say about this fine what I call a budget, entry level firearm The gun was ordered on line and I did the first at rural king service was great and took less than 15 minutes to walk out the door and done. This fire arm is considered full side but conceals quite well. Overall can’t go wrong with this firearm. (Posted on 12/5/2017)Quality Price Value - Works like a Charm Review by Ziggy61

Yes mine worked like a charm put a set of granular talon grips on it and this gun stays on target just keep pulling trigger. Sorry I used for a trade but it was for a prime condition Yugoslavian M-39 SKS made in 1964 so cannot complain to bad but I do miss that gun. Only complaint was the break down levers could be extended further kind of rips your finger tips but put in steel guide rod that gun shot dead on but it seems to work better on rapid fire. Will buy another or Shield 45cap. Roadman55@verizon.net (Posted on 11/18/2017)Quality Price Value - Like Gun Review by Like Gun

Purchased this SD9VE about 2 weeks ago and right out of the box it's dead on, I've put a little over 100 rounds through it without cleaning or oiling just to see if the rumors would hold true and they have. Not even the smallest hiccup. Sturdy, user friendly, great price point for those that want the reliable protection without handing over an arm and a leg. Overall Smith and Wesson made a great self defense pistol that is very attainable! (Posted on 8/3/2017)Quality Price Value - Ccw Review by peaNuts

I purchased this model back in 2003, at a gun show in Orlando, this was actually the show special, I paid 289 with 2 extra mags a case and I got a free cleaning kit, of course this was one it would only take seven in the mag and One in the Chamber, but now the suckers holding 16 rounds..Quality Price Value
My thought is if you need more than six rounds to start with you better buy a shotgun,, unless you're in a firefight and need the extra ammo..
Great gun fired this weapon over thousand times,
Looks good feels great especially if you got small hands.. excellent choice where there's your first gun are your 10th gun.. (Posted on 6/1/2017) - Glad I bought it Review by Pooh bear

The gun is pretty good on feeling and aim. Nice power and recoil . I shoot pretty good every time and I just bought it and shot 150 rounds already so good gun have.

Nice gun shoots very well bought for my son at 279 on sale put about a 100 rounds through it at the range very low recoil no issues really impressed at the overall quality for the dollar heard it is a clone of a glock oh there was a minor issue with the spring in the clip but upon taken it apart and stretching it out a bit have had no further problems (Posted on 5/5/2017)Quality Price Value - Good gun, but not great... Review by RS

Happy with the purchase price and the way it shoots, with one exception. Not sure why S&W would sell a gun that must have the sights changed out immediately so you can hit your target. Shooting at 25 the first time at the range with my new SD9VE and it shot straight but very low right out of the box. I read online that they are all this way and will need the sights replaced to be able to aim properly. Maybe the designers at S&W want you to aim for the chest and hit the crotch of an intruder. Anyway, new sights are ordered so once I get them this will be a good Home Defense Gun. Feels light in the hand and shoots well, only one jam so far. Wont be my favorite pistol, but hard to pass on that price for a quality gun. (Posted on 4/10/2017)Quality Price Value - Excellent experience Review by Pablohoosier

I purchased the SD9 VE March 30th 2017. This was my first gun purchase and I couldn't be more pleased. The RK employees were very helpful in finalizing my selection, the price was right and it has been a lot of fun to shoot so far. My first time at the range I fired 100 rounds and quickly found my targets at 35 feet. My experience has been 100% positive. I will buy from RK again!Quality Price Value

I purchased my SD9VE on Black Friday. Got a great deal. This pistol fits my hand perfectly, it's light and feels good when gripped. Nice sights and I have had no issues with feeding or ejecting.

I bought the gun a few months ago at RK in Macon County Illinois. Easy people to deal with.Quality Price Value
The gun has been fed 3 different kinds of ammo. The only jam I ever had was day 1, before I cleaned the gun. After a good cleaning, I have had no jams. Trigger pull is long and heavy. But it is a self defense gun, so it has no real safety. Pretty accurate. With the very long and heavy pull, I am usually lower than with other guns. The mags do not fit in with all 16 rounds. Extra mags cost way too much. The gun costs too much as well. I will wait for gun prices to go down before purchasing any other guns. (Posted on 2/7/2017) - Great pistol Review by Kyle j

I love this gun. Im glad I went with the Smith and Wesson they have never disappointed. I've tried as hard as I could to get the gun to jam and it just won't. I fed it the cheapest ammo I could find and it won't do it. The trigger is a little heavy but I've shot ruger icp 380 and this trigger blows it out the water I love it. Fits in your hand well even with the polymer grip. Cleans easy and won't let you down in the time of need (Posted on 1/30/2017)Quality Price Value - Great gun for the price Review by Josh

I love this gun. It's a great shot and has minimal recoil. It does shoot a bit low but it could just be me. I cleaned it when I first got it home and after every few hundred rounds. I've ran a few thousands rounds through it and have yet to have and jamming issues. Couldn't ask for a better gun for the price.

In my car always. I can only fit 15 in the mag but I got over it after years of therapy. If I am a victim of a carjacking the perpetrator will be a victim of the SD9 VE.

Purchased the SD9VE this week on sale. I have been wanting a full size carry gun and could not pass up the sale price.Quality Price Value
My son and I took it to the range the day I picked it up. We did not clean it, took it from the box to the range.
I purchased 100 rounds of the cheapest ammo they carried. The gin was pretty much dead in OOTB at 7 yards. Even my son (12 years old and first time at the range) was grouping and tearing the target up.
I had one round that did not eject which caused it to jam. This came at a time I was rapid firing through the whole magazine. I'm write that off to using cheap ammo. I'll test this again once I go back with quality loads.
Overall I love this Gun so far as long as my issue was due to cheap loads and expansion.
Brought it home and stripped it for a cleaning. It tore down easy and went together just fine (coming from a guy that doesn't do it much).
So I say good buy! I'll update once I get back to the range.

This is the second save I have purchased this year from Rural King but first online Ordered and had this gun in six days I bought this gun for my son as I love the one I have. This is a value hand gun, not a cheap saterday. It's special. It quality is excellent with a few minor faults but overall completely satisfied my first I've fired about a thousand rounds of all types of ammo without a glitch. Acurrate gun, good grip and well balanced Breaks down like a Glock and easy to maintain I would recommend u watch Hickok 45 on u tube as he does anout a 15 minute video on this firearm.

This is the first gun I've ever bought so I can't really compare it to anything else.I went to my local RK to purchase a Ruger but they didn't have one in stock. After looking at this gun the salesman told me it was on sale. I liked the look of this one better than the Ruger I was originally looking at and with the price I couldn't pass it up.Shot 100 rounds through it and had one casing get hung up. Excellent shooting right out of the box. Would recommend this. (Posted on 11/6/2016)Quality Price Value - Great value, solid weapon Review by Courier with a punch

The first time I shot this gun I thought I had made a mistake. I had read about the Apex trigger and decided to try it. WOW, what a difference this made. I didn't do the spring kit because I like a little resistance on a firearm with no mechanical safety. I also noticed after the trigger upgrade it is far more accurate. $299 for the gun and $50 for the trigger and I now own a heck of a 9mm. Rural King is the best, I won't purchase a gun anywhere else.

I've owned this gun for a few years now and love to shoot it. It eats whatever ammo I load in it, no misfires, no stovepipes, nothing. Stock sights are good, accurate and very capable at the range at 7-10 yards. Recoil is light as compared to other sub-compacts making it easy to keep on target.Quality Price Value

Most other competitors sell this gun for $60 more and then some. The finish on the polymer frame is a little glossy which detracts from the appearance slightly. Like the two-tone look. Comes with 2 double stack magazines which gives you over 30 rounds of firepower. Stock sights are pretty good .Has rail to attach a laser or light. I chose the laser. Moderate recoil, this thing is a tack driver with the laser, and a hoot to shoot. My main home defense firearm (Posted on 10/26/2015)Quality Price Value
