Smith & Wesson SD40 VE Barrel Stop Spring – Part# SD40VE3
This is a genuine factory Smith & Wesson barrel stop spring for the SD40 VE pistol chambered in .40 S&W. A used part in serviceable condition — a cost-effective solution for replacing a lost, worn, or broken barrel stop spring on your SD40 VE.
The barrel stop spring retains the barrel stop in position within the frame, ensuring the barrel locks up correctly during the firing cycle. A missing or fatigued spring can cause inconsistent barrel lockup, affecting reliability and accuracy.

Installation
Barrel stop spring replacement requires slide and barrel removal. Verify correct barrel lockup and function after installation before returning the firearm to service. If unfamiliar with SD series disassembly, we recommend installation by a qualified gunsmith.
