The s&w SD9 is a reliable pistol with no issues. Comfortably priced, and light enough to carry concealed.

Love the first one I purchased. Had to purchase a second one. No issues with using at the range and great value for the money. Would recommend the weapon

Very nice handgun, but, trigger just too heavy for me

I have three 9mm for personal protection and the S&W SDVE is the one next to the bed. Great feel, reliability. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

First gun ever purchased. It was so good I have bought a few more. Trigger is a little gritty but for a few bucks you can upgrade it. Totally worth it. Probably not for the guy who enjoy high end but for a range shooter it’s very nice.

excellent service from buds. I love this gun. the trigger is not the greatest but you get what you pay for. This gun is accurate and has never had a jam. I shot about a 1000 rounds through the smith and wesson sd9 and no failures.

I bought the Smith & Wesson SD9VE this is my first time to purchase a hand gun and at this point I think I picked the right gun to start with. It fits really well in my hand and I was able to dismantle and put it back together with little effort following the instructions provided. I will be learning more about this particular gun and will be taking it to the range soon. I don't think I will be disappointed on this one. Once I fire several rounds through it I will update this post. Buds Guns was great and shipped it within the guidelines promised. They stayed in touch by email and kept me posted until it arrived at the FFL.

I realized when I received the product that I had clicked on the 10 rd option. I find, though, that this lightens the load with carrying. Let's face it: we tend to cram as much ammo in as we can, but it adds weight. I've added the 16 rd clip for around the house and range time, but having 20 rds split between two clips is not bad for carry/back-up. Out of the box, the weapon looked clean and ready for the range. It is much lighter than my other 9, and that is definitely a plus for carry. I have made a few modifications to mine for personal preference...an option which still leaves me with a much cheaper, yet reliable and accurate carry weapon which can also take 16 rd clips. I've fed mine everything from cheap remanufactured FMJ to high end Hornady Custom and Critical Defense. Not one FTF or FTE! I haven't tried accuracy at 25 yds, but at 15, this is a very accurate 4" barrel 9mm! I am VERY happy with mine, and thanks, Bud's for great service!

I've had many a S&W amongst others over the years. I can, without going all spec crazy, endorse this as a winner amongst them via pricepoint, quality, and reliability. Buds as usual provided great communication and speedy service as well.

I purchased my sd9ve from buds and finally was able to go to the range today. I am use to my heavier 45 so this gun felt a little snappy at first. After several rounds and a couple of adjustments it started to shoot fine. The grip feels good in the hands. Sights are good. Wish I was able to get the larger capacity magazine 10 empties way to quick. I would recommend this gun to anyone. Looking forward to the next time at the range.

Pros: * Gun comes with two ten-round magazines * Excellent three-white-dot sights * Good balance * Minimal muzzle flip * Reliable * Accurate Cons: * I bought the gun as a new gun, but the gun had some scratches on the slide and the barrel * I could only get nine rounds into each of the two ten-round magazines * No manual safety * Long-pull trigger takes some getting used to squeezing * The gun is a bit bulky * It looks like a Glock, that is, a thick stick of butter on a handle Bud's: The Bud's contact was good to work with.

I just received my Smith & Wesson SD9 this past Wednesday from Buds gun shop. They shipped it Monday to my local dealer and my local dealer called me within 15 minutes of receiving it from UPS. I immediately went to go pick it up and it has surpassed my expectations. It's a great looking product. I finally got to take it to the firing range Saturday and out 100 rounds of federal ammo in it, Not one issue. I would highly recommend this product. I'm very happy with it!

I bought this pistol several weeks ago. It arrived about two weeks later. I opted for the cash discount price, so it takes 5 business days for the check to clear and then several days to ship to my FFL. I finally got a weekend off to shoot it, and it is exactly as advertised. Great gun. Great price. As many of the reviews and websites have stated this gun has a long and heavy trigger pull. I'll definitely be buying the after market trigger. But still a great little gun. I had not fired a gun since I left the USMC over 20 years ago. A buddy and I went out to the grasslands in northern Colo, and I was able to hit the bulls eye from 7 yards many times. I was not very consistent, but I think that was my lack of shooting in many years. I am very happy with Buds, and with my local FFL, Gilcrest Farm Supply. In facxt, I just bought the S&W M&P22LR. THis is going to be the gun for my wife and teen daughters to shoot.

The gun is amazing. feels sturdy and suprisingly lighter than what I thought it would be. Bud's did an amazing job as well. They notified me when the gun was in shipping department and delivered my weapon quickly. The trigger pull on this weapon is a little heavier than what I'm used to but it is satisfying once you break through. I recommend this weapon all day, looks and feels like a "G" but is $200 cheaper. Go for it!

Recieved my new sd9ve today and I must say I was completely satisfied with this purchase,,, Only took two days to arrive at my dealer.. upon picking gun up I first noticed the appearance of the gun, wow looks like a much higher priced gun.... left my dealer and straight to the range,, fired 300 rounds through it with out any problems what so ever.. no FTF or FTE, I tried 3 different brands of ammo and this gun ate it up like nothing... I just wished now I would had ordered the 16 capacity magazine instead of the 10... but no problems there cause buds sells the 16 mag and I will be ordering it very soon... so the bottom line is for the price and value of this gun you can definately not go wrong!!!! It may not be your $600 Baretta but it will shoot round for round at half the price..... Excellent gun very pleased and the name smith wesson speaks for its self... thanks again buds for the great deal

Took this pistol to the range finally and put 150 rounds of cheap steel cased Tul Ammo through it. No FTF, FTE not one issue. Have not gauged accuracy as it was just a fun shoot range but did hit the target at 15 yards repeatedly. Funny thing was the guy at the next bench stopped when leaving and he was also shooting his SD9VE for the first time. Great gun, great feel and well designed. No issues from purchase to use. Thanks buds and thanks S&W. By the way I got the gun $30 cheaper with the FFL fee included than the guy next to me.

VERY nice gun for the price. Have shot about 100 rounds through it with different ammo and no problems what so ever. Pretty dead on accurate as well. Highly recommended this gun and highly recommend Buds. This is my 4th gun ordered through them and as always excellent service.

Buying this S&W pistol was a no brainer, their is nothing about this gun that is cheap, it is well made from the polymer frame and grip to the well made slide and barrel. I was only able to put 100 rounds through it thus far and shoots sweet. I bought this gun because of the review by Hancock on you tube, if a gun is a piece of dirt he will let you know. Save a bunch of money and get one of these 9mm.

Again, great service from Bud's. Gun is great to shoot and very easy to clean.

I bought this gun from Bud's,and absolutely love it.Trigger is smooth,and fired about 70 rounds through it the day i got it.I'm thinking about buying the 40 now.It's not a Glock,but neither is the price. You will NOT be dissapointed.
