Old thread I know, but here goes anyway.
I am certainly not a novice shooter. I bought a 40VE about two months ago. Been a 1911 fanatic for years.
The Sigma is a great reliable firearm that has acted like a bull dog and eaten everything I've thrown in it's dish. At ten to fifteen yards I can do accurate double taps all day long. I can empty fifteen into a target at those ranges quickly, and easily cover the group with the palm of my hand.
Can I drive nails at twenty-five to fifty yards? No, I haven't tried. That's not what this pistol is made for, and it's not what I bought it for.
I bought the weapon because it is a good reliable piece that I can carry. It will get the job done. It is inexpensive enough that if I lose it to some LE evidence room after I've used it to save my life I am not out the price of a fully re-worked .45.
I am as willing to trust my life to this weapon as I have been to any other firearm I've ever owned.
Would I buy another? Probably not as long as I have the one I have; there's simply no need for me to own two of them, but I definitely don't regret buying this one.
Oh yeah, if the trigger pull is too much for you, I suggest you work on those weak wrist muscles or something. Twelve and half pounds is a lot, but it's quite doable.

Ditto FIERO... bought a COUGER for $325, heard alot of positives about it (and the direct Beretta relationship/history a plus)... to ME, looks good, fits my hand perfect, nice all-metal feel (have 3 CZs), very accurate shoot, breakdown/cleanup 'OK' with the funky rotary barrel... with 500+rnds, ZERO problems, NOT ONE!... All-in-all, a 'Super' gun for the $$ and worth every cent! Not too keen on 'polymers' especially 'strikers', so this was an inexpensive 'natural.' Have shot 300+ thru the 9mm SIGMA (a friend's)... OK, but for me, trigger pull was real hard and ackward and just didn't like the feel!... Mechanically, don't think you'd ever go wrong with a S&W... but would BUY a M&P 100x before the Sigma! First 'poly-9mm' I ever bougth was the FNP-9... A SUPER GUN!!!... Alittle more expensive ($425) but for the money, one of the BEST pistols I have... FLAWLESS, ACCURATE, looks and fit are great (for me)!... Check it out!
