Accessories for Smith & Wesson SD40 VE

The SD40 VE is the .40 calibre version of the SD9 VE. It recoils more sharply than the 9 mm, and a sight picture that you can find again quickly helps more on a .40.

A dot on the SD40 VE

A red dot stays in view through recoil and lets you track it back to the target. Without an optics cut, the dot sits on an Outer Impact mount in the rear sight dovetail. The type C version takes RMR, RTS and Docter footprint optics and comes in black or silver; the type S takes the smaller RMSc, DPP and K-series. Pick in Red dot mounts for Smith & Wesson SD40 VE.

Tritium for low light

Night Fision tritium sights glow without light. They are listed for the SD40 VE together with the SD9 VE and M&P M2.0, and are in Sights for Smith & Wesson SD40 VE.

Fitting

Both upgrades use the existing sight dovetails. A sight pusher makes the job easier; if you have not done it before, ask a gunsmith.
