S&W SD9VE 9mm Stainless and Black Semi-Auto Pistol

A: The CA Compliant model has a heavier trigger pull. SD9™ VE - CA COMPLIANT (8 lb. /- SDT TRIGGER) - - CA COMPLIANT

A: The price difference is because they have to change the trigger group. Anything that is sold to a niche market like CA only will be a higher price thanks to supply and demand. Your state is beautiful, but sorry that they have the most backward gun laws in the country. In a way I believe that CA knows that by imposing stricter and stricter requirements, gun manufacturers eventually won't bother to adhere to them and they won't be legal to sell in CA. Gen-4 Glocks are a prime example.

A: No, you will need the model with the "loaded Chamber Indicator" here for NY Ralph : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/35762/Smith+%26+Wesson+11907+SD+VE+%2ACA+Compliant%2A+Single%2FDouble+9mm+Luger+4+10%2B1+Black

A: I think it is legal I don't see any problems on the list of restrictions but I would ask a local FFL to be sure https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf

A: The 10 round is a California version and has a chamber indicator. Chamber indicator guns typically cost more because of California compliancy.

A: Darnell, this is simply a stock level issue. Buds prices are tied directly to stock level. There are way more 16rd models in stock than the 10rd models. If you learn the "Stock Level" game at Buds, you can same $.

A: Buds prices are set by a computer program that loos at many factors to set the price here is what buds has to say about pricing. from Buds "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day."

A: no they are both double stack the 10 round mag is just a modified (blocked) 16 round mag so they can sell the gun in states that have a 10 round magazine restriction. the mags are interchangeable

A: Joseph, both are Double Stack Sir. Most manufacturers including S&W make firearm packages that have 10rd magazines so their pistols can also be sold in state that have magazine capacity restrictions. The pistols are exactly the same but just have 10rd mags included. The pistols will also accept any standard capacity magazines and vice versa for the higher capacity magazine model accepting the 10rd magazine.

A: Curtis, I own two of them and have for a few years. They are reliable, accurate and one of the best bang for the buck pistols you can own. They have a few teething problems when first introduced but that has been ironed out many years ago. Cheers and stay safe!
