| Source measurement | — | In December 2023, Smith & Wesson released the SD9 2.0. The 2.0's new features include a flat-face trigger (replacing the hinged trigger) and deeper slide serrations. The 2.0's slides are also distinguished by thin grooves along the top. There are other internal mechanical changes, but the 2.0 pistols use the same magazines as the previous SD9 and Sigma 9mm pistols. The 2.0 also has a lower MSRP, $349, instead of $406.[source]Smith & Wesson SD VE · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Smith & Wesson SD pistols are available in 9×19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W calibers in either a standard capacity version (16+1-round for 9mm, 14+1-round for .40) or in a restricted capacity version (10+1-rounds for both calibers).[source]Smith & Wesson SD VE · Variants; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
