Smith & Wesson SD40 VE Premium Review (HD)

In High-Definition: This is Smith and Wessons self defense powerhouse, made for civilians! It's a low-cost and good looking addition to your collection! My impressions and range shooting within.

[@82luft49]

Being a former Army combat veteran ((82nd. Airborne) let me clarify a very important fact: When on the range you bitch about the heavy pull of the trigger. Fine, you're right. But when you are up against a deadly threat that same trigger when pulled feels like a one pound of pull.. Why? ADRENALIN! Enough said.

[@CitizenCarry]

Yup! Adrenaline takes away the princess and produces the survivor.

[@brianupchurch771]

82nd myself spent my time in Afghanistan, you're correct sir! Airborne!

[@pilot6764]

You won't notice the trigger or the sound when SHTF.

[@dwightfloyd9637]

Big red 1 hoooooah

[@DAIadvisor]

I had my duty Glock fitted with NY2 trigger, which I believe is 12 LBS for that exact reason. It will have to be a deliberate intentional action to fire the gun.

[@domsugar9160]

THEY CALL THIS GUN A BROKE MANS GLOCK WELL THIS BROKE MAN IS PROUD OF HIS SD4VE YO!!!

[@CitizenCarry]

Dom sugar Damn right! It's an awesome piece!!

[@EastSide_LB]

I dont get why Glock is the gold standard (Im aware theyre great guns) and nothing else could EVER come close some how. I have a Springfield XD9 and I Love it, just picked up the SD40 and Love it... By buddy has a glock, and its nice gun.. but i dont see whats SO much better tbh.

[@essneaks]

@@EastSide_LB I thought it was just me. People swear by the glock. I've shot a lot of Glocks, basically trying to MAKE myself like them, and I didn't. I like my 40. I prefer it over my m&p.

[@EastSide_LB]

@@essneaks Yea its a matter of preference imo. I do want one because I do honestly like the look and feel of them. But as far as functionality theres others that are as good if not better

[@alahputamadre3572]

Damn Skippy I love my SD40, broke her in as soon as I got her about a year ago and that trigger is like butter now .It's a sweet piece for a good price . #TEAM SD40

I'm a former USAF combat veteran. Just bought one of these and shot it today. Used but almost new. One factor regarding a 10lb trigger is the adrenaline factor. Entering a gunfight is a traumatic situation and the last thing you want is a hair trigger.

[@johnstockton8138]

The trigger loosens to like a 6lb pull eventually

[@TheRealB1gA]

It’s definitely not a 10lb trigger bruh

[@TheRealB1gA]

It’s more like a 1911 8lbs

[@TheMeazy1]

Just picked one up today, says 8lb trigger pull and Apex has a trigger if you want it lighter. Smith&Wesson said Apex makes them and it should work. I haven't looked for the trigger yet, but says it fits the original SD and should work for the SD VE.

[@barefootbob1269]

[@mayito8581]

The best review I have seen so far for this gun. Breaks it down well for those looking for a self defense gun that is reliable, affordable, and American. Not an M&P, not trying to be an M&P. It holds it's own. Proud owner of an SD40VE. 500+ rounds with no malfunctions what so ever.

[@raiderscarecroe1162]

Glad someone actually looked at this weapon for its purpose and not looking at it and wanting it to be another gun. I carry this tool everyday and it has saved my live at least 5 times in the past 3 1/2 months. I wanted a Glock but didn't have Glock Money this tool is worth every dollar.

I carry an SD40 every day and I love it. Yes, with 15 rounds of 180 grain, it's a tad heavy, but it's not too bad. I've only had one fail, and it was the ammo, not the gun. You can't beat it for the price. Good video.

Austin Bradley A nice item to know if you own the SD40VE you can place the SD9VE - 9mm barrel and you can use the factory .40 S&W magazines with 9mm rounds so you can practice with the cheaper 9mm rounds vs more expensive .40 S&W rounds.

[@stevenjohnson8500]

I dont see how anybody can hate. I just bought one a month ago and I already feel confident shooting it and I have shot glocks that had more kick. The heavy trigger I personally love for a gun that does not feature a safety(just makes me less nervous when its riding in my concealed holster) the grip really gets a bite in your hand that I find Ideal.

I've ordered a green laser/flashlight combo to mount under the barrel.

[@Fediwillkillyou]

Picked up mine on a Thursday put 100 rds of cheap ammo through it on saturday. No problems. And i had no problem squeezing thst trigger with pretty good accuracy. Meaning at 25yds i was hitting my paper man target in the chest. Which is accurate enough for me. Love my sd40ve it feels great in my hand. It felt better in my hand than the my buddies glock which i shot as well. He felt the same way and he's a big glock guy. Will be doing a few upgrades. But uts perfect out of the box!

[@giovannifrancesco3434]

I couldn't agree more with this review and point of view... Value Value Value is what this gun and its 9mm counterpart is all about. I bought one for $305.00 and when I took it out to shot, I was Truly impressed. It shot right on target with no misfires or misfeeds after 500 rounds. I thought I made a great buy. I was at a gun shot here in SD and the Gun Gods were on my side that day. Another show attendee came up along me talking to a merchant wanting to sell his SD40 VE. He was into image and felt the gun was subpar. The dealer didn't want to buy it for more than $200.00 and the guy walked away. So I approached him and we agreed on $265.00. The gun was hardly shot. I since have replaced the springs with the kit from Galloway Precisions. If you have trouble installing the sear replacement spring, try installing it from the top rather than the bottom as everybody does it. New springs makes it even better. I couldn't find FO sights for the VE version so I took a Sharpee Marker and colored the front sight red and green in the rear. This reviewer is right about it not being a CZ75B or Kimber but for the money the value is fantastic and suggest everyone go out and buy one or two of these.. Have fun, be safe and TEACH YOUR CHILDREN GUN SAFETY.

[@texaswaddie6983]

Hey enjoyed the review !! I am purchasing this gun in 9mm and was a little disappointed watching some reviews on the tube . My primary purpose in buying this gun is self defense and I do believe I won't have any trouble with the heavy trigger pull. Considering I typically shoot a air rifle every day with about a 12 lb trigger pull after around three years later I shot an 1911 pistol with around a 5.5 lb trigger . Much to my surprise it felt like a hair trigger in comparison. But I agree with your analogy of the purpose of the trigger design , only time will tell .
