The Smith & Wesson SD40 VE delivers reliable performance in a California-compliant configuration that meets strict state requirements without compromising functionality. This compact-frame pistol chambers the proven 40 S&W cartridge with a 10+1 capacity, providing substantial stopping power in a manageable platform.
What Makes This Different
The SD40 VE incorporates Smith & Wesson's Self Defense Trigger (SDT) system, which provides a consistent trigger pull and eliminates the need for manual safeties through integrated firing pin and trigger safeties. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than traditional carbon steel alternatives, while the ergonomic polymer frame reduces overall weight to 24.4 ounces. California compliance features include a magazine disconnect safety and loaded chamber indicator, meeting all Golden State requirements.Key Features
