SD9 2.0: Why is it cheaper than the original and is it better? 

Bought one the other day. Shoots well and has not failed yet. Only 300 dollars and holds more rounds than my 1911s.

just happy to see people carrying

the hole on the top allows you to check the chamber without sliding it ;)

I think the top sedation are to eliminate glare.

I actually like the gen 1 trigger. As much as people hated on it, i am rather accurate with mine. I can shoot it just as well as my RMR guns up close.

Just bought one a few weeks ago. I used to have the sd9ve and this 2.0 is definitely better. Shoots great. Love it

My SW SD9 2.0 trigger wasn’t gritty at all. I did pick it up used from my local FFL so that might be a factor. I really like it so far. Not quite as good as my SW MP 9 2.0 compact with the new trigger but at half the price I think it is a keeper.

Very nice brother..i dont care what pistol or calibers a person carries or owns .im just happy people are choosing to carry....we all know 9mm is triumphant though. Lol

I own one and the trigger is magnificent 🎉🎉 i held off on buying the sd9ve and was happy to wait as i just purchased this sd9 and i have to say its a very beautiful gun and looks better that its previous model! I believe this is the 5 gen of this gun and if this gen is so good i cant wait to see what the next generation of this firearm would be like 💯 the only downside i have rigynow is it comes with no spare mag but i have found them at 49.99 at local academy sports and outdoors it's worth every dollar and more and its runs any ammo i feed it but am currently running federal 147 grain + ammo it sure does sound louder than the previous one thats for sure . A nine that sounds like a 40 ? Count me in every time🎉🎉

Bought mine 7 yrs ago. Best $300 I ever spent💯

Just bought me one I love it .. paid $299 for mine plus tax

Just got one I'm happy with it.

I picked one up the other day. I fired it for the first time this morning. The only issue I had was the fire control cross pin worked itself out when firing fast. I don't know if the issue will go away after a while or not. It will never replace my M&P 2.0, but all in all. It is a nice pistol.

The new sd40ve has arrived . 40 forever

My old service pistols were: Colt 357 CK, Sig P220, G22…. This is a excellent self defense pistol for a old guy like me. Basic and does the job.

I really love mine it’s been my carry I just wish they’d come out with it in a 40 2.0 can’t beat the price point

The slide serrations are beautiful. I own a SW40VE worst trigger in my collection 😂 but it always goes bang!

Love mine

My 9ve had the three white dot sights and my 2.0 trigger resets and pull is pretty good on it and has a nice audible reset. And I do t think the ve had the serrations on top of slide I’m pretty sure it was smooth.. but I love my 2.0 and I’ve ran almost 1,000 rounds through it so far from 108 Norma to 147 Hornady seems to cycle and shoot it all not one hang up or stove pipe or failed ejections definitely one of the best budget guns on the market it my opinion but that’s my opinion and I’m a smith & Wesson guy. And can’t go wrong with 16+1 for standard mag which the mags are a little pricey $35-$45 but they are good quality made of steel and a polymer butt plate. Happy shooting and keep the range hot.

Probably because they still have some of the originals in stock that come with 10 round mags and this one is illegal in 10 states.

I bought this gun about a month ago absolutely love this weapon shoots great, the slide never jams. I have not had a single problem with mine. I love the price tag. Every bit of it is awesome. However, the one downside I do not like the teardown button in order to separate the slide from the bottom, it’s just like the Glock, except for the fact I think these button are smaller and should be just a tad bit bigger and easier to compress in order to tear down for cleaning. I wish it had a larger button like the MP 9 does. That’s my only downside about this weapon.

I got mines and I will say it’s a nice option for the price , the only thing I don’t like is the reset but for the price you really can’t beat it … it comes in a cardboard box😂 but best believe the gun is a nice one imo

Nice piece but just wondering...why sell off all your 40s? Ive owned 2 glock model 22s and never had an issue and the ballistics on them is more than acceptable

Love it. Love my sd9ve.. but this is definitely clean. The sirations on the top of the slider definitely new, the 3 white dots are the same. But that flat trigger is definitely different!! What'd you pay for it? Still 16+1?

Congratulations it's a decent pistol. I own two of them on original Smith & Wesson frames. The other two I finally got smart and I adapted them to glock gen 3 type lowers now I actually have a very good triger and serious aftermarket support. Don't get me wrong my two are the S&W are nice but they're limited by the poorly and intentionally designed trigger system even if you do the Apex upgrade you can only improve it so much working within those parameters.

I would buy one but I live in California and it's not on the roster, so I can't 😢

The first handgun I bought was the same. SD40VE. Sold it also for the same reason being in .40. I really want this but I want them to make an optics cut version also, which I would be willing to pay the extra price for.

Good lookin pistoli.

Why would you get rid of? The 40 cal ?

Mine is great...2 k rounds...excellent quality.

I feel like they did that with slide to make it for the MCK better. Opinion

Smith and Wesson wanted to have a hand gun that was affordable for everyone, people are wanting a more affordable firearm for conceal carry and not a expensive firearm lets face it no one wants to carry there higher end hand gun just to tear it up i got some high end 1911's and to nice to carry as my edc so i got this same pistol no problems

Looks big . I like my 40 Cal guns lol

i had that sdve40 also that trigger was trash!!! i got the 1st sdve9mm and that thing ate all kinds of ammo and we did a torture test and it never failed at ALL. they have these with the lazer at academy June 14/2024 for 299.99 father day sale

I went to go purchase this particular 9. Unfortunately, i have to wait till background check clears. I have no felonies or misdemeanors. I live in Texas. Does anyone know why this is happening?? Guy said, "Since i don't live in the city" it usually happens..why??

I thought it would have the same trigger as the shield line up guess not 😮

The trigger is better than the original in my opinion.. i think it's unfair to put it down considering your $700 glock trigger is buttcheeks

Its only cheaper for a little while. The internals are much more different then the SD9VE and better. Its only a introduction price.

Is it me, or does complaining about the trigger being “a little gritty” on a $300 pistol seem a bit trivial?🤔🤷‍♂️

Alrighty, here's my thoughts on this new piece. Having picked one up, taken it to the range, put about 200 rounds through it, had several friends try it, I even compared it to some other pistols. Will the fit, finish, and operation compare to a FN? Nope, but these pistols are from very different price classes. Is the trigger any good? Compared to the SD9VE, this trigger is a big step forward. For a relatively low cost, polymer striker fired sidearm, it's not too bad. Now, as far as the gritty trigger. Out of the box it was gritty. This was easily remedied with some trigger drill, which I do with every firearm I've not used before. I did get to compare it vs the PSA Dagger. The triggers are very different in terms of reset distance. However, for me, I was quicker with the SD9 2.0. Both pistols are accurate and comfortable. Against the FN? There was no competition. While the FN in question is chambered in .45ACP, loaded with 230gn ball ammo, I was still much quicker and accurate with it. I also used a couple of Micro 9's. To me, that's a tough comparison. IMO, that's comparing two different platforms. Most Micro 9's that would match the price class are a handful. Most Micro 9's that would match the shooting experience cost almost double. What I haven't had the chance to do yet is compare it to Canik, or some of the other $300 offerings. Keeping everything in context, meaning price class, I really think S&W has a strong contender with this one.

Will the original magazine fit the new one

How is the trigger compared to a Taurus g3 or a PSA dagger?

These guns don't come with fiber optic

Definitely the best self defense handgun under $400, let alone $350 or $325! And it will always go bang when you need it!

You should have never got rid of all of your 40s. You should have at least kept two.

I just got the sd9 2010 version. Should I sell it for this one?

is the trigger pull still 20 pounds

Can I ask why u got rid of all yours .40 cal

I have had this for about 3 months and I’ve shot it legally at a range about more than a thousand times and I can say the gun has never jammed on me, I’m from Florida

Sooo why is it cheaper I'm curious myself

This guy is the only one to say the new trigger is not that great aka we probably shouldn’t take his advice

My wife has a sd9ve she didn’t like it and went with a g26 smh

You shoulda kept your 40s my guy!!

are those manufactured in massachusetts or tennessee?

I would never get rid of my .40s!

Nope stick to old reliable SW hinge guns all SD9VE/2.0 MP/🛡,absolutely nothing wrong with those trigger folks need to learn how to shoot and shouldn’t even be allowed glocks till they master a OG SD🤣, leave them stock internally just stipple sights n lights shoot it till it’s smooth they wear in perfect especially the OG SD9VE, only sub $300 new/(used $250 max w/2 mags ) reliable hollow eater you can find it’s literally a pawnshop veteran 🤣but never ♉️G3/3C 🚮,🛡+TS and the OG SD9VE best comfy budget edc combo out and also can just download compact to 10/12rd EDC over smaller guns but nothings touching old MP 3.6 2.0 compact/SC especially in .40 far better than glock for the money

Those have a lot of trigger issues

.40 are horrible in every way. You made a good decision.

Tired of weaklings hating on the 40 caliber , would never sell mine . Man up and handle the 40 .

My sd9ve has the three white dot

It’s NOT CHEAPER and it only comes with ONE MAG… WTF!?

Like the original better

That thing is NOT compact. Looks almost the same size as my Glock 21.

Why u sound like hank hill 😅

This for the banger that cs t afford glock n is too dumb to build a p80

Worst gun ever
