SD9VE - Damaged slide - Help

[PATHAM209]

Hey Everyone - new to the forum. Been lurking for a few weeks. Need a little help.
Was adjusting new rear sight in my sd9ve - and i believe the tool i was using (see picture) damaged the slide.

Emailed Smith & Wesson - "I am sorry slides are not sold separately."

Any Help or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

I would contact CS and see if you can ship it back to them. Otherwise, a used slide would be in order, I suppose.




Maybe it's time for a Glock. . I kid

EveryGunPart.com might have a used slide

Sorry, no experience with the SD9VE or S&W customer service.
But I do constantly check EveryGunPart.com for parts.
For example: https://everygunpart.com/handgun-kit...less-9605.html
Good luck!

Yeah, but that's for an SW. I'm not sure it will work on an SD.

This one will though.

Here's a guy selling pistol parts kits, he has a SD9VE kit.

You guys are incredible. I have been searching the net for 3 days trying to find a replacement! THANKS!!!

I'm kind of curious what were you using to adjust the sights? Never mind looked at the second picture. Proper tool for the job is not a sight adjustment tool for a different model gun. It would be similar to using my Sig tool to adjust Beretta sights. It might work, or it might break something.

how tight did you clamp the slide?

[PATHAM209]

Just hand tight, the tool has a twist knob on the bottom.

However, the appropriate answer is too tight. Lol

Wow, if that slide can be broken with a sight adjustment tool I would rethink the durability of that gun. I'm not being a jerk, but is it pot metal? OP you must be one strong guy.

i have the same tool for sig. i've done maybe 8 front and rear sights and i haven't cracked one slide. so if you didn't over tight it then you have a weak/defective slide.

Or just maybe using the sight tool for an M&P that may have different dimension's, may not have been the best choice. Not all S&W are the same, same for Sig's. When I got my armorer's kit for P series guns the sight tool did not work with 229 slides.

that is a good question for op. the instruction identifies what models work and not.
