As you can tell by my name, I own one. I really like it. It is the stainless model. People tend to flame the Sigma. I know you can get a lemon in anything. The only changes I done to mine was to put in a Wolff striker spring and a Hogue Handall grip. Mine has never had a failure of any type. In fact, it is my nightstand pistol, even though I do own several pistols. I have complete faith in it and the 16 Hi Shoks that are in it.
