S&W Sigma Trigger

[DNS]

Yes the triggers heavy on purpose.
Lots of lawsuits over the years on Glocks light triggers and lack of an external safety. Smith wanted to avoid that on their copy.

You mod the trigger and they aren't held responsible which was pretty smart on their part.

worst trigger i have felt. I cant believe S&W are still shipping them. They are that bad.

They're not shipping any more IIRC

As far as I know the SD series has replaced the SW series and is improved in many ways including a lighter trigger pull.

The Stigma trigger wasn't designed to be horrible due to any legal concerns. It was just designed to be horrible, because they didn't know any better.

Gotta love the Interweb. . . BTW, not saying that it is the way it should be... Just wanted to point out that almost anything can be brought into a lawsuit. BTW, it took all of 1 minute to find the articles.

Apex Tactical makes a spring kit. I might be installing one in a friend's Sigma 9.

I didn't read every word but I did not see anywhere that these lawsuits were successful. I also looks like in each instance the gun fired when the trigger was pulled and I see no fault to glock as their gun performed as intended. What did notice was there are a lot of cops with poor trigger control who let their children have access to their sidearms.

A California court just said that a cop could sue Glock because it had no external safeties. The officer's son shot himself after finding it under the seat in his car.

Hasn't gone to court yet, though.

The guy already lost the suit once. They said he can sue again..
