Recent acquisitions thread?
Also how much did you pay OP? It't not a bad choice given how cheap they are.
>>29429498
Absolute shit gun. You can get a new M&P 9 (not that they are great guns) for like 100 more. You fucked up, should have saved up till you had 450ish, or just have bought a Bulgarian Makarov for 320
>>29429512
350 for the gun
well... if you spent over 350, you did bad. If under 350, you did ok.
If under 300, you did good.
Not a bad first gun, I personally don't like the heavy trigger on it, but, it's not bad at all.
>>29429531
350 all together that is including a hard lock case
Poorfag/10 but you done good by not buying a Taurus. It'll work
>>29429531
the gun was 320
>>29429551
buying a cheap but good gun for my home that me and my wife can use it think it was a good buyear not to mention something good to learn on
>>29429555
Well i guess it also depends where you're at.
Not bad, it's backed by Smith & Wesson.
I have an M&P 45 but .45 is too expensive to party with. Was considering one of these.
Does APEX do anything for the trigger? Their sear in my 45 was a night and day difference.
>>29429632
yeah i live in west texas everything is pretty expensive here

The SD9VE is fine, don't listen to this schmuck.
>>29429691
if you haventbought the gun and plan to spend money upgrading the trigger its better to just buy another gun.
Got one as my first centerfire pistol a year ago for $280. Tried to sell it but ultimately came to like it. Get the Apex Trigger kit for it and you're golden.
>>29429498
it's S&W budget glawk clone, it does glock things but with a shitty trigger.
you could have done a lot worse
>>29429528
Get A apex trigger reduction kit or a aftermarket spring and it won't be totally shit.
To everyone else. Do not buy this gun with the intention of upgrading it. Just get a new gun. The apex kits exist only for people who didn't realize how much they fucked up until it's too late.
>>29429762
apex trigger kits are $100-$200
>>29429762
Well the M&P-9 needs the APEX sear too so that leaves me with the CZ-P09 at ~$479 or getting a Glock 17/Beretta M9
I don't recall playing with the SD9 but with my big hands I might not even like it, M&Ps feel like shit with the medium grips.
>>29429798
*apex trigger kits are $100-$200?
hell
>>29429810
That's the entire kit though. Sear alone was $40 which is really all the M&Ps need and it a piss easy install.
>>29429817
is* a piss easy install
>>29429798
exactly. at 350 the sd is one of thebetter options in that price range. at 450-550 you could have just bought a damn glock or anything else
>>29429835
Where are you finding Glocks for under $500. All of the "decent" 9mms, tiered above the SD9, are all priced at around $550... CZs aside.
>>29429850
Police trade ins.
Or if you're LE or Mil, or first responder you can take advantage of Glocks' Blue Label Program. That's how I got my 19 NIB for under 500 with 3 mags
>>29429498
Not bad, it was my first pistol. I still have it. It is really really good. Simple, easy to maintain, accurate and reliable. All of which are great things. Don't let the spergs on this board get you down with their blatant brand shilling.
