Great gun it does have a heavier trigger pull but you get around that after a couple of clips. Very easy to clean afterwards.

This was my first pistol to own. I was skeptical of ordering it online but Bud's was awesome at keeping you updated. It took a little longer to get it because I ordered it right before new years, and that's not Bud's fault at all. I just wish that California didn't have the darn 10 wait period. I think Active Duty Military should be exempt from this. I have recommended Bud's to allot of people including family members. I will def purchase another pistol in the next few months. Bravo Zulu Bud's and Team.

I purchased the Smith & Wesson SW40VE a couple of months ago. Gun came with 2 magazines and security lock. I have fired over 500 rounds and have not had a single jam or misfire. Great gun for the price, gun is easy to strip down and clean. I have purchased a few firearms from Bud's and have been pleased with every transaction. I look forward to more purchases.

I love it! Bud's took no time from my ACH payment clearing to sending it to my FFL. Unfortunately California has a 10 day waiting period, but when i picked it up I shot it that same day. 50 round box shot like a breeze as a break in. I did read the reviews about the long trigger pull but it made me focus more on my front sight which was a plus. Once a round is shot and you ride the trigger until the mechanical reset of the trigger, the following shots don't seem as long. Very accurate as i shot from the 10 yard line. You could cover all 50 rounds with a coffee mug so this firearm is EXCELLENT for the price. Thanks again Buds, i will definetly be back.

I got mine about month ago, I only put 150 rounds on it with no issue. This is a good home protection gun. They say it has a heavy trigger pull, I found it not a problem at all. For me its a great gun.

This was my very first gun. I was very sceptical about ordering from Bud's. However after the results I have experiecned I am a true believer. The S&W40ve handles like a dream, and barks like a motherf**ker!! I have read the reviews about the trigger pull, but truth be told, if you cant handle it dont buy it. (or just adjust it. lol) . If i had more stars i would give it and Buds 100 stars.

I bought the SW40VE Saturday night and it was at my local FFL dealer the following Thursday. This was my first pistol purchase and the first time buying a gun online. The whole process was much easier than I thought it would be and Buds email updates kept me up to date on what was going on the entire time. I had not gotten to shoot the gun yet since I just recieved it today but I'll update once I get to shoot it some. First impressions are that its alot of gun for the money and the fit and finish of the gun is great. The gun is light and feels great in my hands. The trigger has a heavy but smooth pull but I knew it had a heavy trigger before I bought it and I'm fine with that since its a smooth pull.

Buds got me a great deal on this pistol. Have only put 100 rounds threw it so far but no problems. Thanks

This is my first purchase from Bud's and teh experience was great. The support staff was extremely helpful during the choosing of a handgun and the ordering process. They also kept me informed of the delivery through my email. As for the handgun, excellent buy. The price was the lowest I could find. I would recommend this firearm to anyone, experienced or just starting, because of the feel and performance.

I bought this gun last week and and received it today. Shot it a couple of times this afternoon and it seemed accurate at 20 yards or so. The trigger is a little strange, long travel and it takes a significant amount of weight to discharge. Also, I have an issue charging the pistol. I can lock back the slide with a loaded mag in it and press the release and the round will chamber. BUT, if I have a loaded mag in it I can not just pull the slide back and release it by hand to load one, it jams up on me and I have to flip it over so the cartridge falls out... Meaning, in a target shooting situation, the action is fine, it will just take a few extra seconds to pull back, lock the slide then hit the release to load the gun. In an actual self defense situation, those extra seconds could make a huge difference, not being able to charge the weapon and fire in one fluid motion. It could also be operator error on my part and if I took the time to properly lube the weapon that all might change. For the price though I am happy with it, just would stake my life on it.

well ive had this gun for a little bit ive put about 600 rounds thru it and its is awsome. this is the first pistol ive owned and ive glad i got it. and the trigger is fine and for all complaining about it, well my 9 year old boy doesnt have one bit of problem unloading a clip in 7 seconds, so man up. but ive recomended this gun to my buddys and buds gun shop for anybody lookin to get a gun, this store is great. i saw this exact gun in the gun store i had it shipped to for 450 bucks so that sure is a savings too. well thanks

I just purchased this sw40ve from Buds 3-2-10, it showed up in california FFL on 3-8-10 its the first pistol I have owned and the first time I purchased a gun online. At first I was a little uneasy, but all that was changed after every email, I got from Buds walking me through the entire process. I got emails for billing, shipping and tracking, it took about 4 days for me to get it but I am located in California and I had to wait for the weekend, but still that is great. Will buy another from buds in 30 days:( ......(too much waiting in cali) Now on to the sw40ve, I was looking at this model for weeks listening to every say thier piece about the "Sigma", I went ahead and bought it anyway thinking that it cant be all that bad......I was right!!! Although this is my first gun, I have shot a lot of others. The trigger does have some length to it and it is a little tough, but that said its nothing that warrents all the crap talking that goes along with the brand, I really do feel that SW has weeded out most of the issues with the previous gen Sigmas. I you have thought about buying one I would jump on it now, as of this writing they have already raised the price. Last week when I bought it, the price was $344 cash, now its up to $358 cash, some have bought it when it was $299! So the price will just keep climbing. Buy yours before it winds up the same price as a different modle(xd,mp). Also rebate is ending soon so it will be even more to shell out. I will post an update with shooting results after my 10 day is up(cali). I really do want to point out that this is a really good deal for this model, if the aftermarket supported it as much as the glock, or 1911, it could have been a cheap hotrod, but the powers that be want you to shoot it how it sits. Dont wait any longer, it just means more time wasted, I know since it took me a month to hit the button, somthing I should have done instead of reading "trigger coments" from the peanut gallery. Just Shoot It!!!

Great Gun nothing bad to say about it. If i could Change one thing it would be to add a safety. Shoots great, no malfunctions, and accurate. Once a again I love it.

I bought this gun about a month ago. Fresh out of the box with bit of light cleaning at the range and put 300 rounds through it with no problems. Feels great in the hand with little recoil. I can sympathize with those who review on the trigger pull, but it isn't that bad. It's definitely no hair trigger. I would recommend this gun because you get quite a bit for the price. Overall, I think its a great pistol.
