Smith & Wesson SD40VE Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Worst trigger ever!

I'm shocked that S&W is still producing this garbage. It has the worst trigger action of any pistol I've ever shot. I even replaced the trigger with the Apex upgrade and then the Garrison upgrade and it still didn't help. Buy yourself a

Awesome pistol

I had one before lost it in pawn knew the best place to get another one was at Academy Sports

Great Gun for the Price... Very low sighted.....

I bought this gun about 3 weeks ago, and took it out to the range. It's a great gun for the price and lot of fun to shoot. I fired 150 rounds out of it. No issues with how the gun itself handled. The ergonomics of this gun are great, I love the way i

Jamming after 100 rounds

After buying it went straight to dfw gun range and jam on me after 30 rounds I call academy to try to see what to do with it haven’t had the time to go back out that way to drop it off not happy

Powerful.

Happy with purchase.. awesome weapon. Will tell. Friends.

SD 40 VE

I sold mine. Trigger is terrible. Accuracy sucks. Rattles when shaken. Jammed a lot. Worst gun I’ve ever owned. But it looked good.

Smith & Wesson - Smith & Wesson SD40VE

I bought this gun 4 years ago . This gun was a big disappointment . It is hard to hit a paper plate at 10 yards . It is the worst gun for accuracy that I own .

Shoots all ammo

I bought this gun a few weeks ago it shoots low left not even on paper but feeds all ammo I guess I will be calling Monday to send it it very disappointed

get what you pay for Cheap made Plastice

bought this gun last month & do not like the grip it made of plastic

Terrible sights

I have had this gun for a while and have fired hundreds of rounds through it. As others have noted no feed or ammo problems. Problem is the junky plastic sights. this gun shoots ten inches low and there is no way to adjust the sights for elevation. Many p

Rattles with the mag in te gun

DISCLAIMER: I have NOT fired it at all yet... but there is a rattle with the magazine inserted. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it normal?

Solid gun with Very long stiff trigger pull

I have had this gun for about 2 years now and it is a solid good quality gun, but the trigger pull, +- 10 lbs is very heavy. I have had a trigger kit installed, $24, that made a huge difference. The trigger is now at about 6 lbs and quite reasonable. Grea

Long, heavy trigger pull

Maybe OK for Self Defense, hope to never find out. As far as taking it to the range... long and heavy trigger pull, hard to be accurate without plenty of practice. If you're looking for a plinker, I'd look for something with a better trigger. Ag

not so good

I have this one and about 2 to 5 rounds on average per magazine will jam on ejecting the. Empty case. Have tried several brands of ammo with same results.

Price is right

Great gun for the price. Sure these will be gone in a flash.

I expected better quality from Smith & Wesson..

Bought this in Febuary, shot 130 rounds at the indoor range. Aiming at chest center on a body target the shots landed in groin area at 7 yards. That is way to low! Never had a feeding problem, jam or misfire using Winchester FMJ 165 grain ammo or 180 grai

Lousy gun

I bought this gun fathers day 2015 it is a piece of junk it jams all the time I have sent it back to Smith and Wesson they said they put in all new parts and it still jams. Do not buy this gun waste of money.

rear sight came loose after one week

The gun I had for a month and got rid of it. 150 rounds and not ftf or FTE. Reliability was 100% but the rear sight becoming loose after only a week I could not risk something else falling a part. Will probably buy a block. Had a MD 22 a long time ago and

Smith & Wesson SD40VE (not new sigma series)

Bought almost year ago. All brands ammo shoots 8" low at 21 feet. What's the problem? Do I need to return to Smith & Wesson ?

More for the money

This was my first gun I ever bought, for the price thought was going to be one of those guns you shot few rounds and then it was going to be good for nothing. For my surprise the pistol is wow,no words I'd fire over 500 rounds and no a single malfunc

great handgun!

I purchased about 2 months ago and I have shot over two hundred rounds with different brands of ammo and it never jammed. I own revolvers and had to get used to shooting a semi. Once I got used to it,the shots group really well and it can be carried conce

perfect of everyone, even teens withsupervison and

one of the best available for young or old, male or female. Get training if u aren't secure with weapons.

No tools to breakdown and clean and also reliable.

I bought this gun a year ago and right off the box it felt good in my hand. Squeezing the trigger it had a long travel and some resistance before it fired. That is a good safety feature that keeps you from accidentally firing a round. Cleaned it and oiled

Awesome Gun

This is one of the best guns I have used, smooth, reliable, and great aim. I would recommend it to all, considering picking up the 9mm too!

SD40VE

This is my first handgun. I decided not to spend almost $600 on a Glock .40 S&W firearm so I went with this could not beat the price, and people seem to complain about the trigger pull. I found no issues with it. Since it was only $299 it came with no

GREAT FIRST FIREARM.

I BOUGHT THIS AS MY FIRST GUN BECAUSE OF THE PRICE AND GOOD REVIEWS FROM FRIENDS. ITS WORTH BUYING IF YOUR GETTING INTO FIREARMS.

Great Starter Gun!

First pistol I ever owned and I still carry it to this day! Over 500+ rounds shot and no problems...just clean and take care of it and it will last forever!

S&W SD40VE

I have had this weapon for about a year and have no issues at all. The sights are true out of the box. I have had no misfeeds/misfires or any other problems. I would highly recommend this handgun -- especially for the price!

solid shooter

I bought this gun in April of 14. Price was right and I wanted a 40 cal. I already had the sw9ve which is a very reliable gun. Needless to say I was very disappointed when I took it to the range and couldn't shoot it more than twice before it would n

great gun for the price

well i had to sell my SIG p250 40cal because we need the money last year good gun. So i need a new gun. I was looking more SIGs and i saw this one at around 319 dollar. So i had to give it a shoot and boy do i like this gun i shot over 100round with WWB a

good gun for the price

I bought this gun about a month ago and just got the opportunity to fire it today. The recoil on this gun was a little on the tuff side compared to a glock 22 gen III BUT not too bad. The trigger pull definitely has some getting used too though. I didn�

Great purchase for the price

Bought the SD40VE aover 2 months ago, at first I was a little concerned at the mixed reviews but for the price baught it anyway. I will never regret it, I have put over 450 rounds through it in a short period of time and no mis-fires or feeds. Composite m

Awesome!!!

I bought this pistol as my first handgun because of the price. I am very impressed. I have about 400 rounds through it now with no problems what so ever! The only thing I can say negative is, it takes some getting use to the trigger pull.

Great Gun!

I bought this pistol about two weeks ago and I love it. It fires great, and is very well built. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good entry level gun.

Decent Gun

I have shot several hundred rounds through this gun. 2 rounds have stovepiped but it was cheap steel ammo. For the money you can't go wrong. the trigger is tight but it is SAFE .You really need to pull it kinda hard but once you get used to it it

Great Pistol

This has been a great pistol with several hundred rounds through it without a single problem. It breaks down like a Glock for quick and easy cleaning. The only thing I did not care for was the trigger pull. I spent $60 on a spring kit and trigger from Ape

awsome handgun

Just purchased several months ago and I must say shoots very well.also very easy to break down and clean. Over 200 rounds through it with no problems. Highly recommend

THIS GUN IS A BUY! a few ez mods and walla!

Bought the stock S&W SD40VE, Shot it and immediately noticed HEAVY!! Trigger pull. So I installed the Apex Tactical trigger spring kit, minus the trigger return spring, too light for me, then I went with a Galloway Precision stainless steel guide rod

Just picked up one of these S&W .40's. Great gun right out of the box. Only shot two clips out of it so far but it's a good gun for the money. Great customer serviced at Academy.

Very nice gun for the price

I got mine a couple of months ago. I've put 300 rounds through it and it shoots great. I did have one FTF but that was with the full 15 in the gun and the really cheap ammo. Other than that, it never missed a lick. The trigger is sloppy and heavy tho

WOW I LOVE IT !!!

This Sd40ve is my very first semi auto gun and all I can say is WOW !!! I was a little hesitant to purchase the gun after i read some of the not so positive reviews. So glad I did decide to give it a go. Shots like a dream and it was a hog it ate every ki

Beware if you are a reloader

I bought this a while back, If you are a re-loader do not buy this gun, the casings after they are fired have a bulge and a crease in the casing which makes them questionable for reloading, if you look in the barrel there is an indention where the the car

Great Gun

I purchased a SW40VE in 2005. This pistol is very similar to the Glock 22. The 11 pound trigger pull does take some getting used to. I like the weight and balance of the pistol and it fits my large hands very well. I've cycled thousands of rounds of

Best bang for your buck!

I bought this gun 6 mos ago and instantly became one of my favorites. Price is too low for the quality of gun you are getting.Put hundreds of rounds already including cheap steel cased ammo with no problem. I made a video on youtube because I realy like t

Great value But some issues with the new 40

I bought the gun a few day ago and due to the snow storm in the south east I have a day off so I went out on the range I built on my property and shot the new pistol. I was not to happy I only shot 2 mags as I was having every other round a FTF issue as t

SD40VE IS A GOOD GUN THIS GUN IS FOR SELF DEFENSE VERY RELIABLE AND FUNCTION GREAT I HAVE ONE AND I KNOW.AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

This was amazing and this has helped me a lot during hunts

SD40VE Pistol

I bought this pistol at Academy in May and fired about 500 rounds thru it and all ammo except for winchester white box 165 grain bullets have a budge on each fired casing. Talked to Smith & Wesson and they will tell you that the gun was gun barrel was

Something you can rely on: Always ready to go.

This gun was my first and best gun I ever had. I bought it to get my conceal carry license and I just can not get over as to how reliable and accurate it has been. I will never get rid of it. Shooting accuracy and reliability is something you can rely on.

Trust it with my life

I purchased my SD40VE back in Spring of 2013. When I first took it out to the range I only had 3 failure to feed issues with 100 rounds fired which I was not concerned with as I knew it was part of the break in process. Since I have owned the SD40VE I hav
