Smith & Wesson M&P40 Full-Size .40 S&W, Pre-M2.0, Thumb Safety, 4.25" Barrel, 15+1, Black
This Smith & Wesson M&P40 is a first-generation pre-M2.0, full-size .40 S&W with the ambidextrous manual thumb safety. It features a 4.25" stainless steel barrel, a black Melonite-finished slide, and a polymer frame with an embedded stainless-steel chassis. It is factory-configured without a magazine disconnect (per slide marking) and offers a standard 15+1 capacity.
Controls are user-focused, with a reversible magazine release (installed for left-side use), a hinged trigger with an integrated safety tab, and a sear deactivation lever that allows takedown without pulling the trigger. Sights are the factory dovetailed white 3-dot setup for a clear, familiar sight picture.
The slide has rear-only scalloped serrations and an external extractor, while the frame incorporates a serial number window and an accessory rail for lights or other compatible accessories. Interchangeable palm-swell backstraps support tailored ergonomics.
Made in the USA, this example aligns with SKU/MPN 206300 and comes with two factory 15-round magazines, the original S&W blue hard case, the manual, and two additional backstraps.
