Great video. I have a newer version that requires you to push down on a safety tab while the slide is open to get it to break down. Don’t put fingers in there though. Use a dowel or something. Thought your viewers should know. Great tutorial
Ok. That is probably more in line with the Shield line of pistols and M&Ps.
Or just release the firing pin lol
I like this pistol, no complaints and thanks for taking the time to spread some basic knowledge on cleaning and oiling it up.
Thanks for watching!
One of the best, if not the best video regarding the cleaning of this pistol. Just purchased it 2 weeks ago, appreciate the great in-depth step by step, helps very much in getting familiar with it. I like the REM & CLP for the different components as well. Thanks again. 👍
Always glad to help and thank you for watching! Comments like yours are the reason why I keep making videos!
First time working on a pistol, thanks for clear and informative instructions
Glad to help! Once you get past the removal of the slide you are home free!
Great video! There are lots of newbs like me, and lots of videos seem to look down their noses at us. How else can we learn? Nice instruction, and great explanation. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! Glad to help!!

Fully agree! Definitely get my sub from the knowledge I’ve got from this video!
Thanks for this video. I just picked up my SD9VE and it's my first handgun so this was great, very informative.
Alec, you wont be sorry. Picked mine up 2 weeks ago with a crimson trace and its by far my everyday carry weapon from now on. Love it!!
Lol I was just gonna say don't get it with the trace. It's easiest with just the sights
What about picking one up new for 25% off Father's Day sale and getting the Crimson Trace red dot and SS guide rod for upgrades. Eventually the Apex trigger w/spring kit next. I've shot the SW40VE and my friends SD9VE and SD40VE.
For future sd9ve owners I definitely 100% agree with the apex spring and trigger upgrade! It made a huge difference!!
😊
Thank you for the great video I bought this as a first pistol and fell in love with it. I was scared to disassemble it to clean but this video makes me so much more confident.
I am glad to help and that is why I make them. Thank you!
This has been this first time handgun owners go to video in cleaning my weapon. Thanks for such a clear and detailed process and explanations for the why's and how's.
I’m glad to help! I make my cleaning videos with the first time handgun owners in mind. It makes for a longer video but I try to cover all of the details. Thanks for watching!
Thank you sir! Ive been trying to dissemble this gun for ages you saved my life :)
Glad to help!
Awesome stuff, man. Novice gun owner but I felt comfortable and confident cleaning the gun after watching this video. Thanks!
Bruce the One Legged Lifter I’m glad to help you! Thanks for watching!
I just inherited my father’s. I couldn’t figure out how to break it down and clean.thank you so much.
I’m glad to help! Thank you for watching!
You left out a very important step in cleaning an SD. The extractor(spring loaded lever sunk into right side of slide behind large opening is steel, not stainless, as is the small spring pin which holds it in place. Humidity and precipitation will cause this extractor to rust. Even a tiny amount of rust will cause this extractor to malfunction and not grab the lip of the cartridge and extract and eject it. This causes the weapon to jam.
The solution to this can be handled in this way in my experience.
When cleaning the pistol, spray a small amount of BREAK FREE in the gap at the rear of the extractor while the slide is off the pistol. Let it soak while cleaning the grip part of the weapon. Then, I use the tip of one side of my needle nose players on my multitool to push the extractor hook portion out with light pressure numerous times. You will see rusted fluid show itself next to the springed roll pin. Wipe and repeat, spray, manipulate, wipe, repeat until Break Free comes out of rust free. I then use canned compressed air to blow out excess Break Free. I then put a tiny amount of gun oil in top and bottom Crack adjacent to the springed roller pin.
Again, if this rusts even slightly, the extractor will not work.
I carry an SD40VE as my carry weapon while working as a funeral escort, and we work outdoors in all types of weather here in Texas. Luckily, I discovered this design flaw early into ownership when the first time I planned to clean my pistol, I removed the magazine but the round in the chamber failed to eject when I pulled the slide back. I figured our very quickly what was wrong.
You can also buy a punch and remove the retaining pin and clean underneath but the same end is accomplished in the first method with a lot less effort. Otherwise, great video.
I just cleaned and Lubed this gun (my first one). before shooting it for the first time. Your video was really easy to follow. Thanks again..
Eddie G Glad to help and thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video! Just got my SD9 VE and used your video to teach me how to clean it. Very easy to understand, thanks!!!
Glad to help and thanks for watching!
I think it's very important to add to the spring rod at 15:03 that there is a way to have that spring rod at an angle if you use the top groove when pressing down to barrel assembly. The spring rod needs to be seated all the way to the bottom to where it is not angled in any way, being parallel to the upper assembly. It'll take a little force, at least it did on mine, to get it properly seated. I've used these instructions before with no problem last year. This time however the spring rod was slightly tilted when I put this back together and yes it was a slight pain in arse taking it apart again to correct the issue. Good job on your video. Just wanted to point that out to anyone who's having an issue like I did.
Great video and tutorial - i just clean my first SW 9m using this video - thanks truly appreciate it for taking time out and doing this video, yahoo! it was fun...
Glad to help!!
That is a nice, well spoken , very informative demo video. I just picked one up recently and the way you held the pistol in your hand while taking off the slide really works and is easy! Taking it off is definitely more complicated than most others. Thanks for the info throughout the entire video.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad to help!
@@travisp11 this pistol is amongst my favorites.
The sd40ve was my first handgun. Great gun! Gave it to my dad. The slide serrations are very aggressive.
I Love my SD9VE from 6 months ago I've ran Factory and Reloads from 115 gr up to 147 gr it's like Mikey it eats anything ... Love the Video keep up the Great Work .
It really is an underappreciated budget priced firearm.
This was an excellent video. Recently got back into firearms. My S&W SDV is a great firearm to get back into my new journey. Video was clear, concise, straight forward. First owner replaced trigger and spring mechanism. It does make a difference. Overall...Well Played...
Thanks!
Thank you for watching and I’m glad to help!

Glad to help! Have fun!
Just bought my new Smith and Wesson 9mm SD9 VE with the tact light. Those tips were helpful. Thanks. You earned my sub.
Steve Anderson Glad to help and welcome to the channel!
Excellent video. Looking to buy sd9 as first pistol and found disassembly and cleaning instructions very thorough and well demonstrated.
Myranda Duran-Adams The SD9VE is s great first pistol. I'm glad this video was helpful! Toughest part about the SD9VE is pulling down the takedown buttons down, they are small for me but with enough practice, disassembly gets easier.
I really like this video. I am planning on purchasing this gun and this video has sealed the deal for me.
Glad to help! Once in a while at the range the side can fail to lock back after emptying a magazine but that only happens if I pull down on it.
this was the best video for a first timer
thanks!
Im glad to help! Thank you for watching!
This is actually my first pistol and I learned a lot for cleaning my gun thanks too you :)
Thanks for watching!
Great video, just inherited this among a list of other guns my grandfather left my brother and I. Can't wait to take it to a range.
Right on!
Every time I clean my gun I have to watch and or just listen this video for some reason. Absolutely love it.
Hey man, I still do the same with other channels when I clean them. I’ve been told I’m the “Bob Ross” of the firearm maintenance world, LOL!

This was my mom's first gun she just got one the cleaning video you showed she done it step-by-step and clean the gun with no problems without me having to show her I want to say thank you
Nice Cleaning vid as like the way you use Rem oil since it is such a light oil...Good stuff...
Gr8 video. I have owned this gun for about a year and a half and never thought about installing a stainless guide rod spring assembly so thanks for the advice and again awesome video.😁👍
Thanks for watching!

Awesome video thank you. Sd9ve is my first gun and this video helped me with my first cleaning
Thanks for watching!
New birthday toy!
Thanks for the video! Wanted it clean before the trip to the range today!
Thanks for watching and have a great birthday!
Very nice video. I wanted to thank you for the informative video as I'm a new owner of this gun. I'm new to all this and will go over the video many times just to have it sink in. I'll be checking out some more of your vids. Thank you
You are welcome. Let me know if you have any questions about this pistol. I've owned two now and the one featured in this video serves as our bedside gun. It has been fairly reliable. Only thing to watch for is the gun not holding open on the last round fired. Many times this happens because your grip pulls down on the magazine while holding it with two hands with just enough force that the slide stop is not engaged by the magazine. Other than that, it is a very accurate gun. Check out my range test on it!
Good basic cleaning video. I bought the SD9VE for the wife and we both love it. I did buy an aftermarket slide release bar for both this weapon and my Glock and they make both weapons SOOO much easier to field strip ! As for the trigger upgrade, I did order the spring kit and installed it and polished the areas of the trigger mechanism that had metal to metal contact with each other but reinstalled the original striker spring because of light primer strikes with the new one in the kit. Although I never had a problem with the recoil spring assembly, I also ordered a stainless guide rod and spring assembly. I must say that I trust and would put this gun up against the Glock I own and rate them as equals to each other in all ways except initial price. I have upgraded the Glock trigger, recoil spring assembly, and slide take down lever also in the same manner. I might add that I also polished the contact areas of the wife's Taurus PT111 G2 and installed the aftermarket stainless guide rod assembly in it as I share your and other peoples concerns about the plastic guide rod assemblies.
Ben Workman Sound like you made the SD into an even better pistol!
Ben Workman have had my Sd9ve for about a year and have not had any issues but after reading the comments I will definitely order that stainless guide rod spring assembly and will definitely look into getting a good glock too😁👍

Thanks so much for the video.
It was very informative.
I learned a lot about my 9mm.
This is my first gun and you really taught me a lot.

Glad to help
Great first pistol. My first was a G17 and I swear I wish I would have saved the 300$ for extra ammo. This is the second pistol my girl has owned her first was a SCCY CPX-1 for PP and her first full size was the SD9VE. She even thought it looks better than the Glock.
I own 3 pistols, a sd40ve, a Glock 19 Gen 3, and I just bought myself a glock 19x. On all 3 of these pistols I take out the firing pin and clean out the channel every time I fire them. It's very easy and eliminates chances of light primer strikes. I've taken some pretty good size Chunks of brass shavings out of there after a single range trip. Do t be scared to detail strip the sd9ve. If you're even moderately mechanically inclined it's so easy. If I had only 40 seconds to clean a striker-fired pistol. I would clean the feed ramp,chamber, and firing pin Channel. The three most important parts in my opinion
Joe S. Yeah, I need to expand to include the pin channel and you are right, it is a good thing to do.
Got the SD9 With a black slide and a FDE frame love it 😍 def gonna replace the guide rod and trigger over the weekend
Very cool!
I just got mine last week ended up shooting it yesterday put more then 500 rounds into it and this is my very first pistol I’ve ever owned and the trigger really didn’t bother me, I think it’s a well rounded gun despite the take down lever. But good vid!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, takedown is a pain but not impossible. Good stuff!
This video was very helpful! Thank u sir!!!
Glad to help!
Great video, just got this gun and while I’ve had a glock before I wanted to make sure I didn’t fuck anything up when disassembling and cleaning it
Glad to help and thank you for watching!
great edit Bru. i just bought this handgun this year and even tho it's brand new this was very thorough for future care. thnx
Thanks for watching! It has been a great pistol to have in the collection!
hello,
what brand of ammunition do you recommend? I noticed the American eagle on the table, also the owner manual for the SD9VE says not to use "+P or +P+" have you tried other brands for the SD9VE?
Federal 115 gr. I don’t usually run +P
I use Federal FMJ 115gr., another brand is Winchester USA Forged Steel Case FMJ 115gr.; But different ammo tends to get the firearm dirtier, and at times longer to clean. But yes usually I use much 115gr or 124gr. and I'll use/ run American Eagle FMJ 124gr. as well as Blazer Brass FMJ 147gr., Hornady Critical Defense 115gr. FTX, Tula Ammo FMJ 115gr.
All great ammo which spread love really good, efficiently. and reliably. Though there's still more out there I've need to test out.
Helpful information. Thanks for the video. 👍🏼
Jared Davis Glad to help and thanks for watching!
Amazing video man, thank you for the help. This will be my first of many pistols and I appreciate you breaking it down for us. Definitely earned my sub, and I’m looking forward to new content from you
Thanks for watching! The SD9VE is a great pistol and a personal favorite of mine.
travisp11 You deserve more subs and views for sure haha. Have you done a video on SW m&p shield? I’d love to see a basic guide to cleaning, and also an accuracy test
@@ZroBangerz Hey man, thank you! Check my channel, as for the shield I have videos on cleaning, range testing and a tabletop review! Just type in "travisp11 shield" and they should pop up.
Hey man, sorry to bother you. But what kind of cloths is that? I’ve been having trouble finding them. And also what do you think about hoppes bore cleaner for the slide and barrel?
travisp11 thank you in advance :)
Good video like always. I have a new SD 9 FDE frame model. I took it out the other day and put 60 rounds of mixed ammo through it. Worked great. Was very accurate. Got home and field stripped it and cleaned it. I noticed the round end on The guide rod that sits against the barrel lug looked warped and had a nasty "ding" on the edge. I called Smith and ask if it was normal wear after 60 rounds. They told me don't shot the gun with that rod and they would send me a New one. They kinda hinted maybe I had shot hot ammo through it. 45 rounds were normal loads and 15 were Winchester NATO. I told them surly a SW could handle 15 rounds of that ammo without damage. I have two new factory rods I ordered when I first got this gun just incase I needed them. I have heard of issued with them. So I put one of the new rods in. When I pulled the slide back I could tell the new, unused rod was bent really bad. So I installed the 3rd rod. It seems ok. Called Smith back. Got a different tech. He told me not to worry. Bent, chipped,ratty looking, don't matter as long as the gun works. But he would replace for free any rods I had that I didn't trust. Told me hid personal SD9 had over 10,000 rounds on the original guide rod. Said his guide rod looks horrible. It is normal. SW does say not to usr a metal rod. It voids the warranty and causes issues. He also said he had never heard of any issues with the factory rods. I tol him I had . I think the plastic is too soft. Anyway, I have two new rods on the way. They do have good service. But I was told two different things about what do in two days. One, don't shoot it, , it's normal, don't worry bout it. I respect your opinion. What is your take on this? I do like this gun but this guide rod crap is starting to annoy me.
Jimmie Harris my first SD9VE had a defective guide rod out of the box so I went with an aftermarket steel unit and never looked back. The way I see it is that I would rather lose a warranty and have a gun that functions vs. a pistol that was plagued with FTF and FTE issues. Check out my vids on the SD9 VE to see what I did and my experiences.
travisp11. Thanks for the fast response. My pistol worked great with the factory rod. Even with some 115 gr federal champion that felt really weak. I think the plastic is too soft in these factory rods. I'm gonna try the new one I have and the two new ones that are on the way. What has me wondering is why did one tech say " Don't use the warped, dinged rod." and the other tech says" Its normal. Don't worry". I am thinking about going with a metal rod. But I normally keep my guns all factory.
Jimmie Harris it is a very flimsy plastic that flexes when heated, too.
travisp11. I'll agree. The round part that goes against the barrel lug warped after 60 rounds. I believe this is why it dinged up when I was firing the gun. I inspected the pistol, inside and out before I fired it. The rod wasn't warped or dinged before I fired it. One tech said it'd normal, don't worry. One tech said don't fire the pistol any more with that rod and if it does it again they want ne to send the gun in. I'm sure the gun is fine. The rods are the issue.
travisp11. I've seen a few videos where people ate putting glock 19 factory plastic rods in the SD 9. They seem to be better built and hold up better. Some swear they have no trouble and have shot hundreds of rounds in their SD9's. I'm. Iffy about using parts from other pistols in my guns. . But I have considered it. Its really bad such a nice gun I'd having guide rod issues. I've got mine on me right now. Just got back from running earins. And I do carry around the house a lot too. But I'm getting iffy on trusting this gun.
i just bought this as my first gun, thank you for the info. It really helped me a lot..
Eddie G Glad to help!
MrCaptainkirk1984 Thanks for watching!
@@travisp11 Can you give me the info for the new trigger your putting on this gun? I have seen other reviews on this . And they have said the same thin, they are putting a new on as well. Thank you
@@eddieg70 I thought I wanted to go with an aftermarket trigger but there are two reasons why I decided not to. Because my SD9VE is my bedside gun, I know the gun andI know the trigger. I really didnt want to mess up something that is functional. Also, in terms of liability, for a primary defense weapon I really did not want to lighten up the trigger. With that being said, I have friends that have the APEX trigger kit installed and they love them but you want to keep the original striker spring installed instead of the APEX part simply because the APEX spring can lead to light primer strikes which is something you absolutely dont want. In the end, the APEX kit gives you a better trigger with a pull weight that is similar to stock (so long as you dont mess with the striker spring).
@@travisp11 Thank you
I'm picking this firearm in 2 more days. Watching this gets me excited to clean it myself! :D
I think you will really like it. Excellent choice!
I really appreciate this..I have a 9 and a 40 caliber and up until now was clueless
Glad to help!
just bought a new sd9ve from Cabela's $304.THIS IS MY FIRST PISTOL.does it have to be cleaned out of the box before shooting it?
offset485 yes. You may have some factory oil and grease in it that could cause malfunctions. At a minimum, just get a can of rem oil, some paper towels and and old t shirt you can cut up. I saw the Cabela's deal. That FDE model is calling me!
thankyou for the video. great information. after watching i am sure i know how to properly clean this firearm. Thank You
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
hi thanks for the video. but after i cleaned my firearm i tried clearing the chamber a few times and the slide wouyld get stuck. I would either have the hit the back of the slide to disengage it. any suggestions please. thanks in advance.
It sounds like the guide rod may not be flat on the the barrel underneath. Possibly check to see if it is resting at an angle or if it is flat.
Are there any grip/magazine extensions? I would like to get a full hold on mine but it’s a bit small
Tristan Steinhelfer not that I have seen but there may be something out there.
Nice videos, helped me clean two of my handguns...thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Just got it for Xmas really like...great video very helpful
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video! Helps alot

Good instructional video. Thanks. A used S&W SW/SD series pistol is one of the best pistol bargains out there.
Thanks for watching!
What weight of spring did you purchase from NDZ for your SD9 VE? Thank You
Stock weight. 19 or 20 lbs. I believe. Check my install video on it.
For the guide rod, ndz offers a 15, 18 and 20 lb assembly. What difference does it make? Which do you recommend?
Colten Roth watch my video on this guide rod. I believe that I went 18lbs as it was the closest to factory specs. I think you can change recoil springs to make the pistol function better with heavier or lighter grain weights of ammo but I only go with factory pound weights for springs.
Just left the range with my sd40ve and I can truly say that I like this gun after all the bad comments I've read.
It runs just fine. You need to just get used to the trigger but other than that, my SD9VE runs like a champ.
I've shot over 300 rounds. No issues! Good purchase
@@carcosme Right on!
Daaang I remember that pen. That’s a good pen, I still have mine
The brushes are called "Tube" brushes, all three typs: stainless, brass, and poly I found on Amazon. If anyone has addressed this already, I apologize. I bought an SD9ve on friday, and couldn't hit the target. Got home, and the rear sight was aligned with the right side rail. I tapped into dead center, and hopefully that will work. I will be going to the range next week.
.....................................................................................................
Great video, subbed. Thanks Travis, for what you do here.
Thanks for watching! That is nuts that the rear sight was off that much. Once your sights are centered, the pistol will be very accurate. Thank you for the information about the brushes, too!
I have the same problem with my SD9ve the sights seemed like there were off. Did that seem to work adjusting the sights?
@@rpres65 mine was dead on from the factory but they rush these out so quick I wouldn't be surprised if the sights are off a little.
Most likely due to user error. Need to target practice more
Great video Travis. One question when you spray the CLP in the barrel and let in marinate. Do you use the patches to wipe off first or go straight to the soft brass bristle brush? Thanks for your feedback.
You can run a bristle brush down it if you want to. I usually use a bore snake anymore. Just follow up with a dry patch and then a few drops of oil on one final patch to lightly coat the inside of the barrel.
Awesome video. What lb did you go with the guide rod? I was looking at the different ones on NDZ PERFORMANCE, but it wouldn't matter which I chose, right? And where did you buy your trigger upgrade from, if you decided to upgrade?..
I never did buy the trigger upgrade but I was told that the upgrade that you get from Apex gun parts is awesome. As for the NDZ performance guide rod/spring, I believe I bought the 19 or 20 pound weight model as it was the closest thing to stock that they sell.
I just won this pistol at a raffle this past 4th of july weekend well its the sd9 2.0 pretty much the same gun , and as soon as I got it and got home , me and my 3 boys shot 400 rds thru it without fault, seems to be a all around nice gun , for a price point of $300. I'm definitely going to invest into a few upgrades for it
I really like the revised version. The 2.0 is pretty cool.
Great video I appreciate the help cleaned my 1st gun today
Thanks for watching and glad to help!
I love this smith and Wesson SD9VE that’s why I have one😂 nice video
Thanks for watching!
Superb video. Thanks much!
Thank you for watching!
This pistol is an absolute work horse. The guide rod is plastic which bothered me but has not been an issue at all. I purchased a stainless steel one for if / when the factory guide rod goes.
Yup, it is a fantastic pistol that shoots well. Definitely a great value.
Great VId full of good info for a new SD9 buyer. Oh all those small brushes the you used in your video all come in a kit as a paint gun
Cleaning kit at Harbor Freight 3 or 4 Bucks, The same brushes sold as Gun brushes for a great deal more $$$$$
Thanks for your time. LJ
Cool and good to know! Thanks for watching!
Love this Gun!!
very nice video thank you, i bought the same take down levers from ndz and apex trigger and spring update on it... did you find you needed anything else to round this pistol out?
That is about it but you may want to stick with the stock striker spring. I think the Apex striker spring may cause light primer strikes. Sounds like you have made some solid upgrades!
@@travisp11 sweet and thanks for the tip, ill keep that in mind and will do the mod as you mentioned here then. i chose this sidearm for reliability so thats important to me... thanks for the video and for the feedback man i really appreciate that
I've been carrying a M&P2 for years and just came into one of these last weekend. It's like a 'light' model of my standard carry as far as features and weight. Haven't taken it to the range yet but I may swap it out as my CC just for the weight factor.
Sounds good!
Great video! Very helpful!
But isn't Rem-oil and Clp basically the same thing? Both spray cans literally describe the same cleaning purposes, is it possible to maybe just use Rem-oil for the whole cleaning process?
Armando Hernandez Rem oil cleans well but is thinner but will leave a protective coat. CLP is thicker but cleans better but Safariand CLP is my preference.
Very useful! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Last time I saw the S&W SD9VE for sale in July 2020 was $389, I already have it so I bought the M&P 2.0 Compact. Only issue I had with the SD9VE ? Polymer guide rod warped after 200 rounds, replaced it with a 20lb steel one.
If you check my channel I did a review on the NZD steel guide rod for the SD9VE. It was a great purchase.
You were right to say this vid could be for 1st time pistol owners. Thanks!
Dan Palacios Thanks!
Best video for the takedown I’ve seen yet. Appreciate it.
Gideon Retherford Thanks! I don't get a lot of views on my cleaning videos but I actually enjoy making them! I hope it helps!
No doubt a good video. Only one that thoroughly explained how to do it step by step, great for beginners. Hope you get some more views, you deserve em mate. Also, you drink my fucking dream coffee, and now you’ve earned another subscriber. You’re dope.

NDZ Performance Extended Takedown Levers are amazing. Got mine in Friday and installed it. I absolutely love it. Not so extended that I'm worried about catching anything but perfect enough to grab ahold of it with your fingers. I also got a custom backplate from them. Definitely a nice touch. :)
NDZ makes some great products and that original takedown lever is one of the biggest complaints I hear from viewers of my cleaning video.
This is great to hear. It's always nice to learn about another company to provide options for firearms that we own.
Great video! I was able to follow along with no problems, except taking the slide off but I think my problem was I needed to pull the trigger first to take off the slide other than that no problems, if you follow the same way he take it off with his hand you should be good and I did stop the video so I could take more time to clean the gun
Right on! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
Thanks for watching!
You don't need the Apex trigger. Just polish the correct pieces on the frame and slide, and lube the trigger guard and it works perfectly well. Too many people think the first fix is throwing money at something. But that's a bad reaction. A little research and a little work allows you to save the money and make things work perfectly well.
This is true.
Thank you I have this exact gun and I love it
@@kanikaharmon8528 thank you for for watching!
nice work, thank you !!!
Lynn Suniga Nelson Thanks!
The coffee certainly kicked in.
I agree!
Does this video include re oil? I have no gun experience and am trying to learn and I own this gun all I can do is take the slide,guide rod,barrel out would I need to take the firing pin and everything else out before spraying it?
Just clean the pistol as I show it and you will be fine. Pick up some Safariland CLP from your local Walmart and you will be set.
Nice video, I've been looking at the SD9, it seems to be a good edc. New sub...
bowman321123 Welcome to the channel! I have a range test or two on this pistol floating around. It is an excellent shooter!
Yeah dude I own on in the 9mm and 40...I absolutely love them...I use the 9mm for carry and the 40 for home defense
Rob Ferrell Right on! I’m planning on picking one up in .40 at some point. I love the FDE and stealth gray colors!
travisp11 yeah man... I've already got lucky and found them at two different pawn shops in my area for literally the same price with the same kind of things going on where it came with two magazines and so I was like man I can't even beat this offer it was great.. I've had them for at least two years now and I've equally put at least a thousand and both of them no problems no issues and watching your video I just now decided to clean them so that says something LOL
Right on! I dont' get a lot of views on cleaning videos but I make them so that anyone can have an easy takedown and cleaning experience! And...I gotta clean em anyway so why not record it, right?
