Hmmmm.....

Perhaps they did copy the Glock .40 but Glock fixed the unsupported chamber issue several years ago.

Mine has a mediocre trigger, but has been completely reliable. I got it LNIB for $200. I neither love it nor hate it. It is "okay".

I don't think you'll find adjustable sights for an SD.

They are kinda aimed at the basic carry/home defense gun market. Adjustable are usually on target / competition guns. Nobody uses an SD for competition.

They are decent. Not terrible. I'd just go ahead and get a lightly used Glock for the same money though and get a better trigger and open up options on holsters, sights, parts, and accessories by about tenfold.

Where do you find lightly used Glocks for under $300? My LGS had them on sale for $289.99 which is what I paid for my SD9VE.

I have a SW9VE and it has never given me any problems. I learned to shoot with a double action revolver, shooting it double action. The trigger is fine by me, I'd buy another in a heart beat! Why wouldn't it make a good service weapon, it hits were it's pointed and goes bang with any ammo every time you pull the trigger.
