Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. has announced the launch of the updated Smith & Wesson SD9 2.0 pistol. This new firearm is a fresh take on the old Sigma line of handguns, maintaining the budget-friendly design of the previous SD pistols. However, it introduces a new trigger, a new slide design, and is backward compatible with standard SD accessories.

The SD9 2.0 pistol is an ideal choice for those seeking a versatile handgun from a trusted brand in firearms, without having to stretch their budget. The next generation of SD features an updated trigger and more aggressive slide serrations, making it a multi-purpose firearm.

Just like its predecessor, is a compact design. It's designed to offer excellent value for personal defense, home protection, and shooting training, especially for customers who need to stick to a tight budget.

The new generation of SD from Smith & Wesson is offered in 9mm. It provides new performance benefits at a budget-friendly price, making it a valuable addition to the market.

One of the key enhancements of the SD9 2.0 pistol is the Self Defense Trigger. It features a flat-face design that offers better tactile feedback during the pull, break, and reset. This allows for more controlled and accurate shots. The pistol weighs 22.7 oz. / 643 grams when empty, striking the perfect balance between portability and stability. It also features a 4-inch stainless steel barrel, chambered in 9mm.

The updated slide design includes new serrations, providing a better surface area to manipulate the pistol. The slide features more aggressive forward and rear slide serrations for enhanced manipulation. The top includes full-length serrations to help reduce glare and enhance the overall aesthetic. The aim point is provided by dovetail front and rear 3-dot white dot sights. However, it's important to note that there is no optic cut.

The Smith & Wesson SD9 2.0 pistol is available in a standard 16+1 capacity, but there is also a 10-round capacity version for more restrictive states. This updated version of an affordable classic has an MSRP of $349, but it's expected to have a street price well below that.

The second generation of this line seems to be making smart improvements while keeping the price affordable. This makes it a great choice for anyone in need of a reliable firearm, whether it's for personal defense, home protection, or shooting training.
