The Smith & Wesson SD Series is a polymer-framed, striker-fired semi-automatic pistol line that the American company Smith & Wesson introduced in 2010, replacing the SW / Sigma line. Smith & Wesson started manufacturing "SD VE" (VE for Value Enhanced) models in 2012. The SD VE models have stainless steel slides. Aside from slide color differences, SD and SD VE pistols are mechanically identical.
