Smallest .40 S&W handguns, by published overall length
Ranked on published overall length. Read this list with its scope in mind: the directory's .40 S&W records come from two manufacturers, so this ranks the .40 S&W pistols this directory has verified rather than the .40 S&W market. That is a narrower claim than the 9 mm lists make, and it is stated here rather than left for a reader to infer from the rows.

How this ranking is built: Every record in this chambering publishes an overall length, a barrel length, a width and a standard capacity, so nothing is dropped from the ranking. Height is excluded on the usual grounds — makers measure it under different magazine conditions. Concentration in two manufacturers is a coverage fact about this directory, not a statement about the cartridge. Only source-verified records appear, every figure is the manufacturer's published one shown in both unit systems, and values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the system the source published.
