The SR40 pairs a robust alloy-steel slide in Black Nitridox Pro with a glass-filled nylon frame for a strong, lightweight package. Marked "RUGER • PRESCOTT, AZ USA," it delivers a 4.14" barrel, 1:16" RH twist, and a 15+1 capacity in a full-size format weighing approximately 27.25 oz unloaded.
Controls and safety features are practical and easy to read at a glance. It is striker-fired with a safety blade trigger, an ambidextrous manual safety, and a top-mounted loaded-chamber indicator marked "LOADED WHEN UP." An external extractor and rear slide serrations round out the slide features.
Ergonomics are adaptable thanks to a reversible backstrap (arched/flat) and molded frame texturing with Ruger medallions. An accessory rail is molded into the dustcover with a single cross-slot, ready for a light or similar rail-mounted accessory.
Sights are straightforward and adjustable: a fixed white-dot front and a screw-adjustable rear blade set in a dovetail provide an adjustable 3-dot picture. The SR-Series was discontinued circa 2017, and this example, manufactured in 2014, represents that lineage with its factory configuration and included accessories.
