Smith & Wesson 410, part of the American Pride Series of pistols, was designed as an affordable handgun for all Americans. The SA/DA semi-automatic pistol's controls include an external hammer, trigger, slide-release, magazine-release, and a safety located on the slide. Engagement of the safety also de-cocks the hammer. As an additional safety, the pistol will only fire if the magazine is locked in place. Factory sights and grip are plastic.

Used by law enforcement and civilians for personal protection, these are traditional double action pistols chambered in .40 caliber S&W (.40S&W). The magazines for the S&W 410 were designed to compy with the 10rd capacity requirement of the Brady Bill. Since the sunset of the Brady Bill, 11rd magazines are available that fit both the S&W models 410 and 411.
