Smith & Wesson SD9VE Field Strip

[@llazyllama1]

Thank you. This showed exactly what I needed to see without 10 minutes of rambling before hand. Perfect instruction!

[@williamshutts4867]

The little clips on each side of the slide are a pain in the ass to press in and pull down at the same time. Great video. Simple....to the point.

[@coreyschultz2002]

Thank you so much for this video. I was never shown how to do this step by step. I always felt like an idiot when I had to take it to a gunsmith just to have them disassemble it for me for cleaning. I ruined my fingernails multiple times trying all night to get it off after the safety check before realizing I need to pull the trigger to be able to get it off. None of them were much help showing me how to do it because they did it so damn fast. Again, thank you and great tutorial!

[@NickLikesToSweepPick]

Thank you all who have tuned in and offered positive feedback, I had no idea this video would get this many views and responses, and I am beyond grateful and humbled. If I started a separate channel that offered entry level no frills instructions to field stripping popular firearms, cleaning, maintenance, etc how many of you would tune in?

[@TheGhostdude99]

I'd tune in! I'm new to the gun world just started picking it up at a hobby. It's really helpful to learn the basics in a quick easy manner! If you have a bersa thunder 380 I'd love to see a video of field stripping that from you

[@chrisairforce1s]

Make that two ✊🏽

[@wincertactical1317]

Thank you for making this video. Was gifted this pistol for Christmas. Now I know how to disassemble and clean it

[@TankDaGamer25]

Love this video. I like that every second something is happening and it's not a whole lot of talking

[@jayman1338]

THANK YOU FINALLY!! I have been trying to take off the dang slide for 2 hours now searching and hunting for a better tutorial on how to do it. Gosh, this thing is tight but the way you do the release I just did twice in a roll. Thank God for you Mr....😅

[@Kbuggy25]

OMG! Thank you so much I have been all over websites trying to get clear instructions with a simple video..this worked so well

[@NickLikesToSweepPick]

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad it was helpful. Loving the responses to this video.

[@djquik182000]

I hate how y’all do this so easily!!! This damn method of taking it apart is hella frustrating

[@Cheapfreezedriedcandy]

Dry fire first. Im trying to figure out witch levle the spring goes on

[@cheddahbobbz]

Great video, I just purchased this last week and this made it quick and easy with no looong introduction, thank you

[@charliehale8785]

Man thank you. I been trying to figure this puzzle out for 30 mins

[@komlanamouzouvi9]

Thank you for this video, first time ever striping my firearm to clean and this video was a great help!!

[@torqueblue]

Thank you very much. The store manager showed me how to easily do this but damn if the instructions and my memory fail me hard. Hands on training is how I learn and this video showed me what I needed to know.

[@SmithWesson90]

I find the M&P 9 2.0 is way easier to tear down and clean. My SD9 is a pain to get apart.

[@unitedwestanddividedwefall3521]

Thank you for this. Just purchased this gun and I’m in love with this piece.

[@MrHighRow]

Couldn’t make it any simpler! Love u bro!

[@glennnoyes7056]

This was exactly what I needed. I was struggling with taking this apart before your video. Thanks!

[@maribelsanchez5107]

Thank you for making this simple, educative and to the point. You gotta a new sub here.

[@colinisnowlostincolorado]

My takedown tabs are really tight so I had to watch 3x to figure out how to do it. Thanks

[@michaelb.42112]

Thanks you. FYI I needed this video, too. Good luck to your dad. I just got mine today !

[@ogjunglebarbie]

This was the most helpful video

[@mikeO31082]

I suggest anyone with this firearm to consider upgrading to an extended takedown level. There pretty cheap, about $10, and it will make future field strips a lot easier. The stock takedown level sits too flush to the frame of the firearm, which makes engaging it pretty tough.

[@lyfsabych]

Thank you. Is there one you'd recommend? I can't get that thing to disengage for the life of me.

[@manano06]

Thanks my guy! This was helpful indeed. 👍🏼

[@gunfreak1911]

Sad thing is it ain’t that simple if you have a model with the stupid magazine disconnect feature. They have a dead trigger without the magazine in so to pull the trigger and release the sear for field strip a magazine must be in. I’ll never understand how that is a safety feature

[@king433hj]

THANK YOU!!! jesus my slide was not popping like so and it was maddening haha

[@NickLikesToSweepPick]

Thank you all once again for all the feedback! Please like and subscribe to see more! Here is my next video for the Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnnddGiljppmo8U

[@Cheapfreezedriedcandy]

What level does the spring go on seems like there's a thin one and a thicker level.

[@Keyboardwarrior6996]

Thicker one when you put the spring back in slide it at angle and it will sit perfectly as it before you too it out

[@thomaskilmer3913]

Just wanted to say that this is a phenomenal pistol for the price. Had it for a little over a year now and honestly 2000 rounds with no issues, other than the trigger being sloppy. But what do you expect for a 300 dollar gun. Thanks for the video

[@brycemorgan6708]

Put an apex trigger in it. Though I’d take it to a gun smith because the trigger will need some work depending on the tolerances inside your gun

[@reubenrosofsky4791]

Can the Mag Release be Switch to left handed? Thanks

[@plagapong]

Very helpful thanks man.

[@jb6042]

Perfect video !

[@johnathanwilkins9151]

My spring popped wide an it’s hard to close

[@martysmith4789]

Thanks

[@themainediverschannel4495]

Giving u a thumbs up on you doing it so smoothly on ur vid and a middle finger up on my pistol.

[@lorenzoguice1835]

Can't you lock the slide back and pull the tabs down

[@KOartist35]

I just tried this with mine because I haven't cleaned it for awhile, but when I went to release the firing pin it wouldn't do it without having an empty mag in it. Just in case anyone is having the same problem

[@gabrielsalyer3271]

No wonder Glock sued them, it even breaks down the same 😂😂

[@SmithWesson90]

For every sale of the SD9VE Glock gets a small % of the sale. It's a fully stolen glock design but made in USA. 😂

[@g-_-i-_-joe4388]

Here in 2022 thx for the help

[@lukeskywalker1840]

I have never come across a striker, fired pistol. That’s as difficult to take down as this one. It seems so simple but instead, it is very problematic. My Glocks are much easier and disassemble the same way.

[@clintondeckherterescue-qs9mu]

Thank u

[@jysportscardguy8935]

Yes very helpful

[@georgemoomaw9437]

Short & sweet. Good job

[@nickwood7308]

Thank you so much I could do it this other guys way your way I could lol thank you taken me months

[@Cheapfreezedriedcandy]

Gide rod where do they go 🤔

[@Coolmaster909]

I had the same Smith and Wesson. I cannot get the fucking slide to come off!!!😡 those little clips suck!!!!

[@jaidenlewison6953]

I use the trigger drop to take it down. Pull the take down tab down and then pull it the trigger to pop it off.

[@KivianRamirez-ln3yj]

argundia tengo ketener una desa

[@sl-lin0bi529]

gawwwd its sooo hrd for me to take it off i cant lmao

[@rsheffield201226]

Getting both switches down is a bitch lol

[@fabriciomorales8603]

Xq no hablas español

[@randygraf610]

Not a good example I can't Slide the gun open no matter what try 100 times

[@melvinmathis783]

Sgi

[@jajmonSW38]

I’m sorry this gun is to hard to take down with the stupid slide downs on either side of chamber. Stupid design. I break my nails doing this.

[@billklacks9908]

45 ppl could not figure it out

[@bigmike9938]

And after 3yrs the number continues to grow Sir…smh 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@brentfoto]

You don't know how to properly clear a firearm.

[@garrettferrell6821]

I knew I was gonna find one of these KZbin comment section “firearms experts”...it never fails,you will find these people in the comment section of all gun maintenance videos

[@call911imhurtbad]

This gun is a pain to disassemble

[@UnderPresser]

For the love of G-D, please get an aftermarket takedown lever from NDZ Performance Parts. Smith's is so pathetically small it'll chew up your fingernails and make a grip on the lever near-impossible. You can easy install NDZ's yourself.
