• Q: I am in the 70's ... How easy to rack this baby? Does it require a good force to rack?

  • Answered
  • Asked 05/11/2021 00:42 by David T

  A:

  YES, I would say it require a medium amount of force to rack it, similar to Glock and many other strike-fire pistols. If you are concern with racking, I highly recommend M&P Shield EZ. It is the EASIEST gun to rack, and it was designed specifically to do that. Shield EZ available HERE ( https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php?q=ez&type= ) I hope this helps.

  Leon, yes Sir. Buds prices are tied to stock level and there are fewer 10rd models in stock and are higher priced. --- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/83126/smith+%26+wesson+sd9ve+10%2b1+9mm+4%22

• Q: I reviewed a S&W SD9VE about 5 weeks ago that I bought from Buds. I gave it a simple negative review, but there wasn't any profanity or vulgarity. The muzzle end of the slide is crooked relative to the frame. Basically, it slants to the right. My account confirms I wrote a review and I cannot write another one, but the review doesn't show on Bud’s website. Anyone else run into this issue? Seems like Buds is sanitizing reviews and preventing ones that it doesn't like from showing.

  A:

  Joseph, unfortunately this has been reported by several members before. There has not been a clear cut course of action to remedy this at Buds Customer Service level. Perhaps a complaint filing with the B-B-B would get the appropriate response from Buds as to why your review is not posted. In any event, I hope you get the issue taken care of Sir. Cheers!

• Q: With the new ruling can this be sold in CA?

  • Answered
  • Asked 04/03/2019 16:39 by Richard S

  A:

  Richard, no Sir. The "Magazine" is the affected item. The "Pistol" itself still needs to be approved for the CA DOJ Roster and it is not currently. Now with the current Magazine law, S&W will get the Pistol approved and added to the Roster.
