The Smith & Wesson SD VE is a polymer-framed, striker fired semi-automatic pistol series introduced in 2012 by the American company Smith & Wesson.

History

The SD VE is a direct evolution of the Smith & Wesson SD and Smith & Wesson Sigma designs. The SD VE design has an improved self-defense trigger and a comfortable, ergonomic, textured grip. The SD VE also features an improved stainless steel barrel and slide which the SD did not include.^[1]

Design details

The SD VE is a striker fired semi-automatic pistol. This trigger system prevents the firearm from discharging unless the trigger is fully depressed, even if the pistol is dropped. The SD's aggressive front and back strap texturing along with the textured finger locator allow the shooter to enhance their grip and reduce recoil^[2][3]

Variants

The Smith & Wesson SD VE is available in 9×19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W calibers in either a standard capacity version (16+1-round capacity SD9 VE and 14+1 for SD40 VE) or in the low capacity version (10+1-round capacity for both calibers.)^[4]
