This video offers a head-to-head comparison of three Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistols: the SD9 2.0, SD9VE, and SW9VE, tested at the range. The reviewer notes that the SD9 2.0 has the best trigger and seemingly less recoil. The SD9VE experienced light strikes, possibly due to a weak striker spring or extensive use, but improved after manual intervention. The SW9VE performed better after a MCARBO sear spring installation. The reviewer concludes that accuracy differences between the three are now negligible in their hands.
