Key specifications and tactical relevance

Built by Smith & Wesson, this Semi Auto offers a familiar two-hand ergonomics package favored by duty users. The 4″ barrel is optimal for achieving practical accuracy at common engagement distances while remaining compact enough for holster carry. The included original box is a valuable asset for ownership documentation and storage.

Caliber considerations — .40 S&W

The .40 S&W provides a middle ground between 9mm and .45 ACP: it offers stronger terminal effects than 9mm while often remaining more controllable than full-size .45s. For defensive training and range practice, shooters should expect slightly snappier recoil than 9mm but manageable follow-up shots when the pistol is handled properly.

Ergonomics, reliability, and value

Practical shooters will appreciate the balance and sight radius afforded by the 4″ barrel. Smith & Wesson’s manufacturing pedigree supports parts availability and service options. At a listed price of $299.99, this pistol presents an accessible entry for those seeking a capable defense-ready handgun without a premium price tag. View product details and pricing
