Smith & Wesson SD9ve or Taurus 24/7 G2 9mm?

[CJM]

I have the old Sigma version in 9mm. The only thing I don't like is the trigger - must be 10 lbs. Other than that, it's been flawless. Not one snafu in 500 rds. If it were a more expensive gun or my edc, I would spring for a trigger job.

Again, not the same gun.

Not going to compare taurus to smith, Smith is a much more refined pistol. And costs a lot more. That said I would have no problem carrying a Taurus for SD. In fact at the moment a every shot reliable pt 945 in on my person. I also use an pt840 that is just as rock solid. If he can afford Smith go for it.

MSRP is quite a bit higher on the Taurus.

I had an SD9 last year that was pretty nice. Flawless shooter. Used it when I took my CHL class when I lived in TX. It's since been sold off but if I was going to pick one of the 2 you suggested I would pick the S&W. The Ve is supposed to have a better trigger although the trigger on the SD was nice as it was. But I guess it doesn't have the front night site like the SD unless i'm mistaken. I've never actually shot the Taurus but from all the reviews, you never, well I haven't, heard anything bad as far as reliability with the SD or SDVE.

You do realize that the gun in question is the SD9VE, not the Sigma SW9VE don't you? They are not the same gun.

OP, the SD9VE is my daily carry gun. It's proven it's self to be reliable for defensive use and I consider it to be the perfect sized daily carry gun for me. I wouldn't recommend a Taurus to my worst enemy.

Yeah that dawned on me later. Was too busy watching football lol. Anyways OP, still agree SD9VE over a taurus.

I have a Taurus PT-111 that has never let me down and I have no qualms about it. It fit my price point and needs at the time I bought it and it still feels my needs today.

S&W. Your buddy should save a few more dollars and go for the M&P.

Well the verdict is in...he decided to go with the S&W SD9ve! Thanks for the help I think he will be beyond happy with his Smith!

Tell him for $23, the Apex trigger spring kit makes a big difference in the trigger pull. Lowers it to about 5.5 lbs and it feels a lot smoother.

I stand corrected. Apparently a newer model. Seems to be very similar though.

The only common parts between the Sigma and SD series is the magazines. Not a newer model of the Sigma, a completely different model all together.

Yes the SD9VE and Sigma SW9ve are different. Have a Sigma SW9ve been carrying for well over a year and have never had a single problem. Have a small range area on our property and have run a little over 1800 rounds. Am well satisfied with performance and accuracy. Only draw back is the trigger, rather stiff pull. Got used to to it and no problems. Also have Sig and Ruger but for whatever reason the Smith feels better. Concealed carry has been no issue either, OWB at about 4 oclock, comfortable with good belt and holster. Think he should be happy.
