Interesting. Looks like a redesigned Sigma. I'm loving the "Self defense pistol" name.

 

[Runningman]

No 357 Sig?? Won't be interested than.

It looks like an improvement over the Sigma series hopefully S&W was smart and did not bless it with that suckey Sigma trigger. In fact if S&W were smart and did it right they would use the M&P trigger design and parts.

That way you could do the $30 M&P Apex Hard Sear trick and actually end up with a usable trigger in the end.

If the trigger is good, and the price is right, this will be a good gun. The grip angle is near the Steyr. I always thought the grip on the SIGMA was decent. S&W also has GREAT CS.

Looks like a redesigned Sigma.

Was thinking the same exact thing. I'll admit I'm intrigued but I believe I'd wait to see how they pan out after a few months.

 

[EdLaver]

Looks like they combined both the Sigma and the M&P. It has the M&P trigger guard, Sigma-ish frame, and M&P-ish slide. So I am guessing this will replace the Sigma line then?

 

[9mmepiphany]

are they really able to price this far enough from the M&P to make target a different market segment or are we looking at a price jump of their flagship line?

does the fixed backstrap save that much in cost over the interchangeable ones?

 

[BsChoy]

Thats what you get when a Sigma and an M&P make love!! Looks good...I am keeping my M&P tho!

 

[SheepNutz]

I like this picture. "Homeowner's Insurance" lol

 

[GuitarsAndGuns]

The advertisement says "SDT Trigger, optimal consistent pull from first round to last". I hope this means this will not have the same trigger pull as the Sigma. Honestly, I can't imagine them not addressing this issue considering it seems like the main problem people have with the Sigma line. But, I am still a noob shooter, so what do I know.

 

[Gelgoog]

lets like a decently improved sigma...however I still would rather get an M&P.

 

[Full Metal Jacket]

^^^yeah, i'd stick with the m&p lol

 

[sarduy]

if they fix the trigger... they got a buyer here

i love the sigma, in fact i own both 9 and 40, but if they lower the triger pull some... then i'll own this Sigma Military Police ... i mean SDP

"Textured finger locator" .... Hey they stole my idea! Years ago I had my smith dimple the round part of the slide stop on my 1911 for the same purpose.

 

[John Wayne]

So....it's a Sigma with a Tritium front sight and blued slide?

 

[Rittmeister]

A Sigma by any other name...

 

[angel1216]

M&P and Sigma got drunk one night........and wala.....LOL

 

[Kingofthehill]

Why the hate?

If they fixed the sigma trigger, its reliable and priced NEAR the sigma (at least a good chunk lower then the M&P), and it uses a standardized rail, then what is there to hate?

And i like the Tritium front sight, And the slide serrations are growing on me too

I think this could be a big seller!

JOe

you don't HONESTLY think this is your idea?

 

[LawofThirds]

So...it's an M&P slide and trigger mated to the sigma grip with new texture.... hopefully the tritium won't push it into the M&P price range, it'd be freaking awesome to see a sigma priced gun that brings tritium to the party.

 

[Kingofthehill]

Well, on another forum it's listed that the Trigger pull is 8lbs

So according to listings

Sigma- 14 lbs

Glock 19- 5.5 lbs

Looks promising

 

[FTSESQ]

Easy brother... Its called sarcasm. As Foghorn Leghorn would say- "Its a joke son, a joke, dont'cha get it?"

 

[larry starling]

So if it cost's the same as a Sigma I might bite. Looks decent enough.

 

[sarduy]

i'm going to have to try the trigger before i buy!
