Yes it is the SW9VE. I like it a lot. I would not want to tryand wina shooting contest with it (because of the stiff trigger), but I wouldn't want to be the guy trying to break into my house. It has a heavy trigger, and it has no safety. Thats why it is one of the best semi-auto home protection pistols on the market! Keep it clean and loaded for bear and you're good to go! Sixteen in the mag and one in the chamber, are you kidding me? Thats home protection at it's best!!!!
