I took the pistol out this AM and shot a couple boxes of my 124gr cast loads thru it.
Boring. It ran like it was supposed to. I was concerned I might have cut away too much
metal for the slide stop to do it's thing properly. (See post 19 & 20 of this thread). No
worries, the slide locks back far enough to insert a full magazine and strip the first round
easily.
I'm going to get some more of these kits and squirrel them away. I wish threaded barrels
were cheaper for them. In the next couple weeks I will play with the idea a glock clone
threaded barrel will fit and function. Then I'm going down that rabbit hole.

What length are the barrels? Do they make a "compact" version of the gun?
It's basically a compact. Same slide and barrel size as a 19/23.

After I posted my last I dug around in my barrel pile and found
a couple barrels that dropped into the SD9VE slide. One was a
Glock 23 barrel and one a after market 23, 40-9 conversion barrel.
I've got to go out of town for a couple days but when I get back
I'm going to shoot those barrels in the SD9VE slide.
I also did a try and see on a 23, 40-9 threaded conversion barrel.
The width of the barrel hood was too wide but I'm sure if it's
dressed down with a file and stone it will work.

It was a really quick fun project and the gun is very nice to shoot. I’m still debating on sending the slides off to be milled for an optic.
What about a sub-compact? Or in calibers other than 9 & 40?
Don’t think they made them in subcompact. You could run on a G26 frame and add a filler piece.
