Smith & Wesson SD40 VE Slide Stop Lever Assembly .40 S&W Used OEM Part SD40VE9
This listing is for the Smith & Wesson SD40 VE Slide Stop Lever Assembly, .40 S&W (Used OEM Part SD40VE9) only.
Used factory original Smith & Wesson slide stop lever assembly for the SD40 VE semi-automatic pistol chambered in .40 S&W. The slide stop lever (also called the slide release) locks the slide open after the last round is fired and allows the shooter to drop the slide when reloading. A worn, bent, or broken slide stop lever causes the slide to fail to lock back on an empty magazine or prevents the slide from releasing properly — critical malfunctions in a defensive or carry pistol. Removed from a factory firearm and inspected prior to sale.

Installation Note
Gunsmith Recommended: Slide stop lever replacement requires frame disassembly. Proper reassembly and function testing — including slide lock-back on empty magazine and slide release under load — should be verified after installation. Installation by a qualified gunsmith familiar with SD-series pistols is advised.
