When referring to the .40 caliber cartridge, SW always stands for Smith and Wesson, regardless of the brand of the gun, because the .40 S&W cartridge was designed by Smith and Wesson. The offical name of the cartridge is .40 S&W, just like the official name of the .45 is .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol). People have a habit of leaving off things they don't think are important, so the .40 S&W is commonly called just "40."
