I've put about 500 rounds through my 9mm Sigma since it came back for warranty repair. It had failed completely - nothing but non-ignition light strikes after about a mag or two if intermittent light strikes.
In that 500 rounds since the warranty work, I've had 2 light strikes, occurring about 200 rounds apart. Was able to fire many rounds after the light strikes with no problem. I could send the gun back for a second time, but I'm worried that they may not be able to recreate the problem.
While I welcome suggestions on how to address my specific problem, I'm REALLY interested to know what you think about acceptable levels of reliability. I have two other 9mm's that have never failed once, and a third higher quality gun that I haven''t shot yet.
Thing is, I like the way the Sigma shoots and feels. Two ftf's in 500 rounds doesn't sound that great, but it's not that horrible. I'm inclined to not carry it, but keep it as a back up. What do you think?
S'pose I'll eventually send it back, since the the gun completely failed due to light strikes, but I don't know if the problem will ever totally go away.
