That’s great to hear, I saw the 2.0s going for a great price ($300 ish) and have been considering getting one, glad to hear You’ve been enjoying it bro

Don’t use the stick for concealed carry, at the time I made the video I’m pretty sure I was using it as a home defense pistol, and I’m sure we can both agree it’s better to have more rounds than needed than to need more rounds and not have em

Gun owner for more than 40 years, shouldn't allow the slide to slam on an empty chamber you risk damaging the extractor and over time can cause cracks to occur on the slide. Have no issues getting the last round in the magazine, Glock has a similar problem, you can use a Uplula magazine loader or keep your magazines loaded for a week or so. With the S&W SD9VE with the fully loaded magazine, I need to use force but hitting the bottom of the base plate to get the magazine to lock in place, with the Glock have no issue.
I’m shocked to hear you’ve had those issues, I’ve had this gun for almost 2 years, no issues other than the last round of the mag not getting in there despite having it loaded for well over 6 months, and Yes I understand the risk of damaging the extractor, I still however do it and will probably keep doing it out of habit and if need be I could always get a new one, however now that you mentioned having to smack the bottoms of the base plate to get the mag to lock in, I actually have to do that with my Glock 23, have had it loaded since august, have shot it multiple times, it’s guns, one thing that works for someone just might not work for everyone else, hope you enjoyed the video though
@@onlyonesnipe5016 it’s a pro mag stick mag, I found mine on cheaper than dirt the website, however I will warn You that it won’t feed all hollows it’ll feed around 15 and then the other 17 will have to be FMJs
I’ve come to learn that, I got the springs stretched enough that they can now accept 16, however it took me taking the mag apart and stretching the spring myself
Personally I’ve had difficulty loading the last round in the mag I got an uplula mag loader haven’t had a problem since. And they made some subtle alterations because the first gen sigma version was too similar to Glock and they got sued because of it.
You’re 100 percent correct, since making this video with the help of a couple of ppl in the comments section I was able to get the last round in there, right fit for sure but I got it in there, thanks for the support bro
No there couldn’t, because I actually know the condition of all my firearms, if you noticed throughout the video I constantly locked the slide back, showing it is empty
@@lordarkay272 ah, I see what You mean now, my apologies, the mag itself specifies it holds 16 and the one in the chamber would make it 17, a few months after making the video I actually got some really useful tips from people who own this gun and commented and with their advice I was actually able to get all 16 into both mags that came with it

Well I’m glad You like Your firearm, I will tell You though that the concept of “don’t drop the slide on an empty chamber” generally goes for hammerfire weapons, and that still won’t stop me, I hate to break this to You but to actually cause real damage to it by dropping the slide Youd have to do it at least 20 times a day for 6 months minimum, my point is I’ll keep dropping my slide, however I appreciate the support
Someone tried arguing I haven’t used the gun enough which is already ridiculous because the usage shouldn’t matter it should fit 16 if it says 16, however I’ve had mine almost 2 Years, fired hundreds of round through it, I just have realized that it’ll be a 15 round 9mm instead of 16
I paid $220 for mine from a family member last year and it's good gun(gun shows and personal sellers won't kill your wallet on this one). I cant agree to get this gun if it is your first gun. It, just like Glock, has no safety. Safety switches are crucial with first guns.
See that’s where we disagree, guns without manual safeties are just fine, and are ENTIRELY safe as long as You follow the basic rules of gun safety, and being careful on holstering, other than that manual safeties make the gun more complicated for new users, and will make it difficult to remember unless You STRICTLY train to take the safety off first which most people in a real life situation would forget
With a new mag it is hard to get 16 in but far from impossible. I’m 48 years old and hardly a strong person and can do it. Or just buy a $10 mag loader.
It’s ironic You said that because i actually got the 16th round in there no joke last night 😂 no mag loader, just took the advice of another commenter and stretched the springs a bit
I got them both the SD 9 and the 40. Good Lord don't bother with aluminum ammo and don't bother putting hollow points threw the 40. Jam, after jam, after jam.
Well that could have been for a variety of reasons, I don’t use aluminum ammo, either steel cases, or brass, I haven’t had much experience with the 40, however I would just try some different brands of ammo, maybe even check the spring on your mags see if that might be an issue, what I’d recommend for reliable 40 S&W ammo would be the hornady critical defense, try those, see if they may work
