SD9 Magazines

For a very reasonably priced gun, magazines are silly expensive.  $40 a pop.  I tried the gun show today but struck out.  Found a total of four at local sporting goods stores.  All of the mags I found are for Sigmas but other than a slightly different floor plate, they are identical to the SD mags.  The Sigma floor plate blends right into the gun.

SD9 at the range

It was a blowing blustery day at the range.  Probably 30mph winds and a brisk 25 degrees.  The SD off the rest at 25 yards put together some 4 inch 10 shot groups for me.  I think it's capable of more, but not in those conditions.  At 10 yards I had no problems keeping 15 shots inside a two inch circle off hand.  I also stopped by the store and tried the gun in a Serpa M&P holster (size 25) which fits it like a glove.  I'm betting most holsters for the M&P will fit the SD9 with no problems at all.

Hopefully it will go to the range tomorrow.  I did about 200 dry fires last night.  I really like the way it feels in my hands.  The trigger is just fine, it's no STI but I like it.  For a budget gun it sure has a nice finish.

New Pistol Smith and Wesson SD9

A S&W SD9 followed me home this week.  I really like the trigger.  It's better than a Glock trigger and certainly better than a Sigma trigger.  I've never had a chance to shoot an M&P so I can't comment on that.  Overall I like the gun to start.  It's grip angle is slightly different than my P95 so I'm a little slower getting on target.  The front night sight is great, very easy to pick up in low/no light.  It appears the magazines are Sigma mags with a different base plate,  $40 a pop is bit expensive, but that's S&W for you.  The grip frame is very comfortable and surprisingly slim for a double stack gun.  I've got a nice holster on the way for it and I'm hoping that the Serpa M&P holster will fit it.  Pics and a range report to follow.
