I would prefer the 4040.
The 4013/4014 is bigger (single stack but bigger frame if it's an old one and double stack if it's a newer one).
I believe that it would be hard to find additional magazines for the single-stack 4013/4014.
The 4040 is a .40 S&W version of the 3913NL but with a Hogue rubber grip.
That said, I'm confused by the "gold and matte" bit. Of the handful of 4040s that I have seen in the ferrous flesh, none has been two-tone. Could it be an aftermarket finish or did it come that way from the factory? I also, if memory serves, have not seen any mention of 4040 two-tone finish in the S & W catalogs of the period.

Well, I will tell you the 4014 is fairly hard to come by since, according to the S&W Historian, there were only 550 units produced. ( Factory Letter on 4014)
As for magazines, you can pick them up from Midway USA ( 4014 at Midway)although they are presently on backorder. You can also pick them up, if you keep your eyes open, at local gun shops or gun shows.

I got a 4040pd a couple months ago and really like it. Takes the same leather as my 59xx pistols. I believe it was a trade-in by a peace officer because it has a lot of holster wear, but appears pristine internally. Although the gun was produced in small numbers, I have had no problem finding extra mags on the net. I have no experience with the 4014, but I imagine it is a fine pistol as well.
4040 in between a 457 & 908.
