Design and construction

The SMITH & WESSON 4013 is a third-generation compact pistol chambered in 40 S&W. It pairs a lightweight alloy frame with a stainless-steel slide and a 3.5-inch barrel, delivering a balance of durability and reduced carry weight. The slim single-stack magazine profile improves concealability without sacrificing the ergonomics needed for controlled follow-up shots.

Action and handling

Known for its reliable trigger and straightforward controls, the SMITH & WESSON 4013 earned a reputation for controllability in the .40 S&W chambering. The shorter barrel keeps overall length compact, while the alloy frame helps manage recoil impulse. For shooters transitioning from larger service pistols, the 4013 offers familiar ergonomics in a smaller footprint.

.40 S&W: performance and applications

The .40 S&W caliber provides a strong balance of terminal performance and magazine capacity for a single-stack design. Its energy profile is suited to defensive applications and was a common law enforcement choice when the 4013 was widely issued. Expect stout, controllable recoil with the 3.5-inch barrel; training with controlled pairs and strong-hand fundamentals will maximize effectiveness.

Maintenance and longevity

Stainless-steel slide components resist corrosion and simplify cleaning after range sessions. Routine maintenance—field stripping, proper lubrication, and periodic inspection of springs—will keep the SMITH & WESSON 4013 running for decades. Collectors appreciate the third-generation lineage and the pistol’s role in concealed-carry history.
