Apex Tactical's SD9VE Threaded Barrel

[@mrgreen8887]

Long overdue ! It's a budget gun not a cheap gun and very dependable and accurate plus it's a 🇺🇸 Smith & Wesson 🇺🇸 you can't go wrong. Great video and info 👍futuristic gun sd9ve nice.

[@jayteefishing1543]

I bought mine NIB never fired for 250 bucks with 2 mags and a molded IWB holster. Fantastic deal. I’ve had this pistol for about 4 years and I still carry it to this day on occasion. I’ve fired thousands of rounds through it and it’s never, not once malfunctioned. I’ve not done anything to the gun but a light and extended mag plate and custom rear plate. It’s underrated imo.

[@sethh8892]

Lucky, I couldnt find one cheaper than 375. Got mine for 350, after I talked him down

[@jayteefishing1543]

@@sethh8892 well this was 5 or 6 years ago. Now days if you can get it under 400 it’s a good deal. I’d pay 350 all day long. This is an extremely underrated pistol.

[@tonyallen3138]

Thanks for the review, and repeating what the website stated about the states the barrel isn’t currently available. After doing some searching it’s stated that installing a threaded barrel on a semi-auto pistol creates an illegal unregistered assault weapon. Thus, you’re not able to legally register it in the state of California. I can’t wait to leave this state, and go back to FL.

[@pantherboydino3593]

Just got this gun and was wondering if it was any good or not but after seeing what all that can be done to it kinda makes me like it now. Thanks for the content💯👍🏾 #firsttimeowner

[@JettBlast]

This model firearm has an 8 LBS trigger, This is a self-defense entry-level pistol. This also is the same size as a Glock 19 or Glock 23. For the price point, it is very difficult to find a better firearm.

[@causaestmalleus4605]

I've had the sw9 for years now (its damn close to the same gun), and have thousands of rounds through mine. I'd bet my life on it any day of the week.

[@trisharitter]

My hubby just bought me one for my birthday Friday. It holds a very tight pattern, but it shoots low. For myself and my hubby. So just ordered new sights. Lazer/light next along with a new trigger.

[@davidmilton6616]

Love mine, About time they came out with a barrel. They sell a sight plate on eBay so you don’t have to machine cut your sd9 or 40 to add a sight.

[@ricardomoyers5769]

Can you please share more information on the sight plate.

[@ryanyanez1255]

cant wait to start upgrading my SD9VE.

[@geraldhix2872]

My SD9VE has the barrel you're talking about. I've had much trouble with that barrel from Apex. It will jamb when firing. All the time. When I put the original barrel will fire flawlessly. I've tried comparing the Apex barrel with the original to see if there are very small differences. It just will not slide smoothly enough to eject the spent bullet. It's come down to sanding off the coating in order to get to a smooth barrel. I've already changed out the trigger with the Apex trigger and am pleased with the result.

[@thejoshwileychannel]

That’s weird. I’ve never heard anyone have any issues with it. I haven’t had the first one either.

[@bobyblaccc30]

Definitely gonna be upgrading our SD9VE.

[@jaimepreciado8688]

Awesome work Josh...Love what you have done to your SD9VE platform very impressive. Keep up the work.

[@wetbred6677]

I’m fairly certain that 9mm barrel will fit in the .40 simply because the cutouts in the slide allow it, it should work so long as the mags are interchangeable, I have a SD40VE

[@GTduzIt]

Im thinking the same thing... Did you ever try it out?

[@FirstOdin420]

I have a Glock and the SD9VE and I honestly can't tell the difference. They're both awesome pistols and reliable.

[@dimensionalencounter3689]

Was wondering when u were gonna make this vid, strike industries makes a comp for the Glock that doesn’t require changing guide rod springs and it has its own sight hole which would get you on target quicker. It will thread to the apex barrel and looks sick on the sd9ve.

[@jerseyjoseph2224]

If someone wanted to send you their gun to customize, how much would you charge?

[@coachkane]

Thanks man! I went w sd9ve super happy w it. Glock ppl can suck it😂

[@earldelsanto]

Why do you feel you have to diss Glock? The sd9ve is a generational desentent of Gaston Glocks pistol design. Smith and Wesson payed bank to settle out of court on their copyright infringement. Any idiot can tell by just looking at it it's a direct rip off of the Glock. That all fine and dandy. I have many Glocks and I'm gonna buy a new sd9ve.

[@x.adam1]

I bought mine for $200 used in like new condition. I saw one today at my local gun store also used great condition for $249 today in 2023.

I sold my sd9ve and bought a 2.0 40c. Wish I had kept the sd9ve as well.

[@mattchristiansen9807]

I love the MP 40 2.0, super easy to shoot, accurate, and packs a hell of a punch when u hit ur target..! At least when u hit ur target with .40 u know that either A; they r gonna rethink their situation immediately or B, the target is down for the count unlike certain calibers that will remain nameless, 9mm...!

A $200 barrel for a $300 pistol? I did the springs on mine for $20 and that is all I want to spend upgrading a $300 pistol. I can live with the stock trigger. I would probably do a light or some type sights before that barrel. Good job on your videos Josh.

[@TrainFightWin]

Cool looking SD9VE, I have a similar set up except the Apex threaded barrel.

[@earldelsanto]

That new smith and Wesson SD 9VE is really a cool looking handgun. As I said I had a sigma back in 1997 and I bought it because of it's super cool looks. Function I'm afraid was a botched abortion . For 299 every gunship in the area has them. I'm getting on and will load it up with all the goodies you have on yours. Should be a fun project .

[@craigblackmon4579]

I am not a 9mm fan at all but have a back up carry is a SCCY 9mm cause I like the size for carry but still wish it was a 40 cal. Not too fond of it cause it is a 9mm. They do not have much stopping power from experience with people.

[@JeffBaylock]

I love my SD9VE. I plan to upgrade the spring, because I use +p nato rounds. What do you suggest?

[@donttreadonmining9146]

I've had good luck with NDZ. Their guide rod allows for spring changes. Their 18# is working well for me. I don't run a lot of +p however. They have other spring rate options though. Good luck ✌️

I love Apex I have the apex trigger kit and chamber indicator for both my SD40 and Shield 40. Hopefully they make a 40 option later on. Josh I do have a question... I was thinking about sanding then polishing the SD40VE etching on the slide to make it clean. Do you think it will mess up the coating of the slide if I do ?

[@thejoshwileychannel]

Probably

[@mattchristiansen9807]

If u do it, I would suggest a wet sand obviously and very fine grit to start with and then move forward from there, if u do proceed with ur question..! Worst case scenario u might be buying a new slide, lol!

I just bought a SD9VE and it’s great the only thing I don’t like is the trigger!

[@tap5037]

The SD9VE is almost an exact replica (functionaly) as a GLOCK 19. Only difference is the asstetics, extractor and 250.00. the SD9VE is a very reliable gun for the price.

[@mattchristiansen9807]

I cant recall what its called now that I'm writing but its leg holster, military style but it literally folds around ur gun and then velcro to secure it to where u like! I just ordered one myself so I'll let u know how it works out with my SD9VE!

[@mikeO31082]

Kind of torn on getting this. The black barrel really sets off the contract with the slide, but not sure if I would have to put suppressor height sights on with the threaded barrel. Suppressors aren't legal in my state. I'm also not a fan of the suppressor height sights available. Might send the stock barrel out to be DLC coated and then upgrade to the Trijicon HD XR sights.

I think these are great and very good value! Here are some items that will upgrade your pistol, Truglo TG231MP Brite site then you can add the Streamlight TLR-6, 69293 that fits the Smith and Wesson M&P pistol fits the 40VE/9VE and works great. I have the Streamlight TLR-6 on many of my sidearms and hope to have one on all of them. This model has a Laser and 100 Lumen light and it not too bulky and very light I highly recommend them and Fobus makes a holster RBT17 that works with this sidearm with a light installed. the CAA Roni & MCKs are great. CAA is an awesome company they listen to their customers they make great items. I would recommend having 2 pistols one to install in a CAA MCK and one on your hip and have a "Perfect Pair"(sidearm and carbine/rifle in the same caliber and even better if they use the same magazine also!) They are great to have!

No idea why people shit on the SDVE. It's essentially an American made Glock for 1/2 the price by a company that's just a reputable and been around for a whole lot longer. And the amount of money some people drop into their Glocks, they really have no right to complain. Just wish there was more aftermarket support for the sdve platform. It basically takes a backseat to the M&P series.
