This M&P40 is the original-generation configuration identified by its fish-scale rear slide serrations and absence of front serrations. It is the no-thumb-safety variant and is marked to indicate it is capable of firing with the magazine removed. The design pairs a stainless-steel slide and barrel with a durable black Melonite finish for corrosion resistance and longevity.
Controls are set up for broad usability, including an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release. The two-piece articulated safety trigger and hinged trigger safety are part of the striker-fired system, while the sear-deactivation lever allows takedown without pulling the trigger.
The pistol uses steel, dovetailed 3-dot sights, with a white-dot front and a low-profile two-dot rear. An external extractor supports reliable operation, and the rear serrations provide a secure grasp when manipulating the slide. The integral three-slot Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover supports common weapon lights or accessories.
As a full-size .40 S&W with a 4.25 in. barrel, this model carries a 15-round capacity and is built on a polymer frame with an embedded stainless-steel chassis for rigidity. Factory specs list an overall length of 7.63 in. and a weight of 24.25 oz. This U.S.-made pistol corresponds to SKU 209300.
