Description

This lot features a Smith & Wesson Model SW40VE semi-automatic pistol chambered in .40 S&W. The firearm is configured with a 4 inch barrel and a two-tone aesthetic consisting of a stainless steel slide paired with a black polymer frame. The black polymer grip is designed with a distinctive textured pattern for a secure hold and incorporates the embossed Smith & Wesson monogram logo. Metal surfaces on the slide feature rear cocking serrations and are fitted with a fixed three-dot sight system. Key markings include SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MA USA and the model designation SW40VE on the left side of the slide. The top of the barrel is marked 40 S&W visible through the ejection port. The right side of the polymer frame is embossed with the text CAUTION: Capable of firing with magazine removed. A silver-toned serial number plate is embedded in the underside of the frame forward of the trigger guard, bearing the serial number DWX9204. The pistol is accompanied by one polished steel detachable magazine featuring an orange plastic follower, witness holes numbered 4 through 14, and an incised Smith & Wesson logo on the magazine body. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The pistol is in good used condition. The stainless steel slide shows minor surface scuffs and handling marks consistent with regular use. The black polymer frame remains structurally sound with light holster wear and minor scuffing on the underside. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, and the trigger pull is consistent with factory specifications for this striker-fired model. The included magazine shows light surface wear to the polished finish but remains functionally intact with a strong follower spring.
