Smith & Wesson SD40 VE Pistol Magazine Catch .40 S&W, Part# SD40VE6
Smith & Wesson SD40 VE Magazine Catch – Part# SD40VE6
This is a genuine factory Smith & Wesson magazine catch (magazine release button) for the SD40 VE pistol chambered in .40 S&W. A used part in serviceable condition — a cost-effective solution for replacing a worn, broken, or missing magazine release on your SD40 VE.
The magazine catch is the button that releases the magazine from the grip. A damaged or sticky magazine catch can cause slow reloads and unreliable magazine seating — critical issues for a self-defense pistol.
