Our Assessment: The Smith & Wesson Model 4014 Tactical Carry reflects Smith & Wesson’s early 1990s effort to adapt its proven third-generation DA/SA pistol architecture to the emerging .40 S&W cartridge. The 4014 is the blued version of the Stainless steel model 4013. Developed during the immediate post-introduction period of the .40 S&W, the 4014 was intended to deliver service-grade performance in a compact, carry-oriented package suitable for plainclothes and off-duty roles. Its bobbed hammer, shortened 3.5-inch barrel, and Tactical Carry configuration underscore a design philosophy focused on concealability, consistent handling, and mechanical durability rather than full-size duty dimensions.
Chambered in .40 S&W, the pistol balances authoritative cartridge performance with manageable size and control. The DA/SA operating system provides a deliberate first pull followed by a clean single-action break, a trigger format widely favored during this transitional era for its balance of safety and shootability. The white-dot sights with protective rear wings and checkered front strap reinforce its practical, duty-driven intent. Retaining approximately 98 percent of its original finish with only light handling wear, clear markings, and a bright bore with sharp rifling, this example presents in Fine overall condition. Accompanied by two magazines and the original Smith & Wesson plastic box, this Model 4014 Tactical Carry stands as a well-preserved representative of Smith & Wesson’s compact .40-caliber pistols from the early days of the .40 S&W service era.
