Description

This Smith & Wesson Model SW40VE is a striker-fired semi-automatic pistol chambered in .40 S&W. A member of the Sigma series, this firearm features a 4-inch barrel and a two-tone aesthetic consisting of a stainless steel slide mounted on a black polymer frame. The frame is equipped with a textured grip displaying the Smith & Wesson logo, a trigger guard with an ergonomic undercut, and an accessory rail on the dust cover for mounting lights or lasers. Sighting is provided by a fixed three-dot system. The slide is marked on the left side with Smith & Wesson Springfield, MA USA and the model designation SW40VE. The top of the barrel is stamped 40 S&W. The right side of the polymer frame includes a safety warning stating CAUTION: Capable of firing with magazine removed. The serial number RBY2357 is visible on a metal plate embedded in the underside of the frame. This lot includes a pair of 14-round stainless steel magazines with orange followers and an unbranded rail-mounted laser sight accessory. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The stainless steel slide shows scattered light surface oxidation and freckling, particularly concentrated along the top surface and within the rear cocking serrations. The black polymer frame remains in good structural condition with light handling marks consistent with regular use. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, though it has not been live-fire tested. Both magazines show minor surface wear but appear functionally sound. The unbranded laser accessory shows external scuffs; battery life and internal electronic function have not been verified.
