That's why I usually stick to the S&W and Sig Forums. You barely run into any of this there. But, I have seen a few good threads here, and a few other boards where this behavior runs rampant. No big deal. I know what I'm posting is true from my experiences. From the way some people act...

Gee Hawg, You call asking someone if they're getting a little emotional anti High Road? You really are too emotional then. It's too bad someone can't disagree with you without you crying fowl. After all, you started by called me a liar by saying I never shot the pistol, glad to see you were...

The first Sigma I ever shot was the SW40F (yes, 1st generation "piece of crap") and I put over 8000 rounds through it. I had one FTE during qualification with our duty ammo, Winchester Ranger 165gr SXT's. One malfunction in over 8000 rounds is a pretty good record if you ask me. And, I've...

quoted Age of the Sigma? I wasn't too impressed so I didn't ask, they all look the same to me. Well, all you had to do was open your eyes, and you would be able to tell. They don't even look that much alike, other than the basic shape. Were the edges of the slide square or rounded? Did...

Marshall- Was the Sigma you were shooting an Enhanced Series or an older 1st or 2nd Generation gun? If it was an older gun, yes, they did have problems. But, the new Sigmas are just that, new. In fact, S&W no longer uses the "Sigma" name anymore. They just go by the model numbers. The...

Glocks go Kaboom, why are PD issuing them? 1911's are excellent guns, why aren't they issued more? Rugers are some of the best built guns out there. Not nearly as many of them riding in duty holsters as other brands. The Sigmas role in LE was ruined by their early problems. The new...

quoted: I owned a Sigma 40cal V model and it had FTF, FTE, stovepipes, etc. My gunsmith could not figure out why so many problems. They took it back and I bought a Glock 30. But the Sigma does have one of the best grips in the world ergonomically. A local police agncies a couple...

Marshall- It's obvious that you are just looking for something to whine about with S&W. If you don't like them, fine. You are twisting words around from "less expsensive to produce", as in PRODUCTION COST, to cheaply made, read lower quality. Yes, the M&P will obviously cost more to...

Marshall- Have you ever worked as a machinist? Yes, it does take a LOT more cost in material, wear on tooling, finishing and time (labor costs, too) in order to produce an aluminum or steel frame than it does to mould a platic frame. And, there are more parts made of plastic (read less...

Funny you should mention that about me not liking Glocks. I've owned a 17, 19, 22 and 23 in the past. Traded them all. But, I just responded to an ad on the S&W Forum and traded for a Glock 22 :what: ! Not that I really wanted another Glock, but it was a deal that I just couldn't pass up...

Marshall- Do you pay $800 for a CS45? I can go right down to the S&W Factory Store and buy ANYTHING there for far less than "suggested retail". And, the original plan for the M&P was to have a suggested retail approx $100 BELOW that of the Glock. I still don't understand why the Glock...

This is kind of funny. Every time the Sigma is mentioned, everyone starts whining about it being a "cheap" Glock knock-off, and they bring up the problems with the early Sigmas. Instead of whining, here are the facts: S&W recognized their problems with the early Sigmas. The former owners...

Well, I either own or have owned two 5906's, two 6906's, two 3913's, 910, 5943, 3953, 3954, 6946, two 645's, 4506, 457, SW9VE, two SW9F's, SW40F, SW40V, SW40VE, SW40G and an SW357V. Out of them all, and many tens of thousands of rounds downrange, I've had one, yes ONE FTE in the SW40F. No...

I was given a Leatherman at one of my former jobs and hated it. Most of us spent our own money and got Gerbers. I still have my first Gerber I ever bought, it's used just about daily, and it has never broke. I went through three Leathermans in only two years. They all broke at the pivot...

I now have a Ruger MKIII bull barrel (only because that's the only one that is "compliant" in MA) and love it. It's very accurate and has never malfunctioned in any way. I have only 1000 or so rounds through it at this point, but I'm very happy with the way it functions. I would have...
