Has S&W discontinued the SD9/40?

BTW, not being a smart a--- but I don't currently own an SD but if S&W makes it,I eventually will at sometime. As far as collectable...I remember when Model 10 K frames and 22 Escorts could hardly be given away,now they bring premiums!!!
Does anyone know what the trigger weight is on the SD?

So - I see the 10 buck diff. I also saw a new Sigma on FB from S&W - so what gives?

I bought a SD9 when they announced it was being discontinued. Got it NIB for $369. I had been on the fence about getting one for a while and I knew if I was going to get it I better do it now. I have been very pleased with it.
I kinda figured they would do something along the lines of this. No reason to have all 3 (Sigma, SD, & M&P) and the M&P was too well recieved to mess with. What made the most since was sorta combine the Sigma and SD and just have 2 lines

Ok, let me clarify, with the possible exception of the very first one produced. I doubt any Sigma will ever have any collectable value.
For a while, I couldn't even find them in stores. This was last year - might as well been discontinued back then. One store sold them ONLY in a "home defense kit" or something. I knew something wasn't going right for the line when I saw that.

bot one of the 1st 40v and it was ok put it away for maybe 20 years then sent it to sw they did all upgrades test fired it, It is accurate no ftf jams , then i found a 357 sig barrel for it at a gun show now i can say wow what a tack driver the 357 sig is the way to go if you have feed probs. the neck down feature of 357 assures a positive feed.

Kill both and make a mid size M&P (Glock 19 size) in 9 and 40. 4 size M&P's make more sense than all these gun lines.

I think this is all internet rumor. I've heard nothing from legit sources that S&W is ditching the SD line.
Its not a rumor go to 2012 catalog the SD is gone or simply go to their website
The SD has been discontinued as they are no longer making them only the SDVE which lacks the sights and finish
In all fairness we're kind of arguing over semantics here. When S&W turned the SW9F into the SW9E then into the SW9VE those 'very specific' model numbers were technically discontinued, but they are all still Sigmas. The designation went away but the line lived on. The SD9 was an experiment to see if they would sell at that price point, they did buy not well enough to justify production. So they lowered the cost of production and lowered the consumer cost and reintroduced it. But it's still basically just an SD9. I am sure down the road we will see a melonite slide again or maybe even an OD or FDE frame. As soon as interest starts to feign Smith loves to come out with something else I just have to own.

A Kia Sedona LX is still a Sedona just as a Kia Sedona (no letter designator) is still a Sedona. Different features, but still the same vehicle.
SD9 - SD9VE.....SD40 - SD40VE ---- still the same model. Different features, different styling, but an SD none-the-less.
