Any one out there own either one of these hand guns? I was wondering if they hold up to a high round count as compared to a Glock 19,23 ? I've tried lookung on line,but was unable to find anything. Thanks

I had a SD9VE for a while as a truck gun. Its a nice basic defensive pistol, it ran 100% all be it the trigger is terrible IMO. Other than that its a nice budget pistol...

High round count.........not sure. In your opinion, what do you consider a high round count?

If you really plan on shooting a lot, save up a little more and buy an M&P.

Say 5,000 or higher. depends how often i can get out to shoot it. fixed income and no car make it hard. Thank you for your reply.

I've got both an SD9VE and an SD40VE. Great budget guns if you don't mind the trigger. They are basically a Glock design with a trigger that feels sort of like a double action. And a more natural pointer and better grip feel, IMO. I actually prefer the feel of the SD series to the M&P pistols or Glocks. The SD series also will take any M&P aftermarket sights.

I've only put a few hundred rounds through mine, but never a problem. I use my 9mm as a garage gun and my .40 as a secondary home defense gun. I don't usually carry one, as I prefer something smaller and lighter for carry. (Glock 42 or 9mm/45 Shield) I would feel well armed if I did carry one, though.

A Glock might be a bit more durable in the long term, so if that's a main concern, I'd say to go ahead and spring for the Glock. Especially if it's going to be your only gun. Glock does have the track record of durability.
