The SD40 designation and pre-VE roll mark identify this example as an earlier SD-series variant chambered in .40 S&W. Its full-size profile and 4-inch barrel provide the standard SD-format layout with a 14+1 capacity.
The factory-installed, dovetailed fiber-optic sights pair a green front with a red rear for clear color contrast. Both sights are set in standard dovetails for secure, serviceable installation.
The slide is finished matte black and cut with front and rear serrations for confident manipulation. The black polymer frame uses molded texturing and S&W medallions, and includes an integral accessory rail.
The striker-fired system uses a hinged trigger safety, and there is no external manual safety. The frame is marked with "CAUTION: Capable of firing with magazine removed."
Built in the USA, this SD40 includes one factory 14-round magazine to match its 14+1 capacity.
