The Smith and Wesson M&P40 is a semiautomatic pistol that is popular for personal defense and target shooting. It is a recoil-operated, locked breech pistol with a four-inch barrel.

To shoot the M&P40, first ensure that it is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Then, load the magazine into the base of the grip and chamber a round by pulling back on the slide. Keeping your finger off the trigger, release the slide and allow it to return to its normal position. Now aim at your target and squeeze the trigger to fire. Be sure to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire again.
