SD9VE video here.
The SD9VE replaced the Sigma and the SD9 in 2012. they decided on a "self defense" trigger which has it breaking at 8.5 pounds!! but I guess that a heavy trigger pull to Smith constitutes safety. I have my own feelings on this (yes, they are political in nature.) but those are for another venue.
I find myself drawn to the SD9VE more and more recently since the Apex trigger weight reduction kit came in. it really smoothed out the pull and has made it a joy to shoot.
If you are a Glock fan boy and just cannot drop the dough for a new G 19/23 give the SD9VE/SD40VE a run, especially with the Apex Tactical trigger kit installed, you will not be disappointed.
As for being a budget pistol I was surprised to find out the slide and barrel are both milled from Stainless steel. and the overall quality of the firearm itself is quite good. We have yet to observe any tooling marks on the exterior of the slide. though there are a few on the insde but to some extent that is to be expected.
On a side note, the predecessor to the SD9VE (S&W Sigma)was the pistol Glock sued Smith and Wesson over back in the day for patent infringement.
