The SD40VE is Smith & Wesson's budget-minded duty-size pistol, and this used one is chambered in .40 S&W. Two magazines and the factory box come with it.

It is a striker-fired, polymer-framed pistol, built to offer a service-pistol feel at a lower price than the M&P line. Many owners buy it for a home defense gun or a first full-size pistol. The .40 S&W round hits harder than a 9mm, with firmer recoil, so spend some range time to see whether it suits you.

The pistol is used, and it is sold as described. Inspect the finish, the sights and the magazines when it arrives. Two magazines is a handy set for the range. If you want to keep one loaded in a nightstand and shoot with the other, you are covered.

For the money, a used SD40VE is a practical choice. It is not a collector's piece, but it is the kind of straightforward pistol that does what you ask of it. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, where you finish the background check and collect it.
