S&W Sigma

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

The Sigma I had worked just fine and was pretty accurate----my next one will probably be another P95 just because I already have one and a bunch of Ruger 9mm magazines.

They are both the same price around here---not counting rebates and such.

425 rounds, 2 FTFs and multiple mag malfunctions? That's not a good record man.

I've ONLY put 700 rounds through my Beretta, and NO hiccups. For a carry gun, I would accept nothing less than 1 jam every 10,000 rounds or so. And no, I'm not being unrealistic.

I just bought my 9VE last weekend. I have only put 80 rounds through it with no FTE / FTF. I did a fair bit of googling on them. The most common complaint with them is the trigger pull. Personally, I didn't mind it... I liked the fact that it was heavier since there is no manual safety. I am not worried about not being able to pull the trigger in a "situation." After about 50 rounds I could feel a difference in trigger, it feels much more smooth. I am sure that after the next rounds it should "have its groove." To me, with the rebate and warranty, it was a no brainer. I am not sure you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere... literally

Current gen might be fantastic. I'll never know. My 1st gen was THAT bad. If I was fighting for my life, and I saw a Sigma next to a rock, I would hesitate as I decided which one to pick up.

For that type of gun, for general use, I'd cruise the pawn shops for a used Glock, but what do I know.

Your oppinion is the same as mine. I was a fool that bought one soon after the Sigma was released (SW40F) and mine had a crappy trigger, was less then reliable, and the plastic frame split lengthwise in the dust cover area in less then 1000-rds.

S&W replaced the gun but I sold the replacement unfired and I have owned many glocks since. I guess the new ones may be better then say a hi-point but I would likely grab the rock over the hi-point too

I've had my Sigma for a year now. No problems whatsoever...

I have mine and I have had no problems. I used it to get my CCL; I shot a 245 out of 250 with it.

had my 40ve since march. 1k rds through it at this point. no malfunctions of any kind. but...

I HATED THE TRIGGER!! so about 300 rounds ago i modifided it. now it shoots like a brand new gun. and no, i didnt no change the striker spring

bad trigger and all, the sigma is THE BEST new gun value on the market. 1000 rounds of at least 12 different brands of ammo, jhp & fmj and NO malfunctions

plus i got mine with the $50 rebate AND 2 extra mags

im serioulsy considering getting another one before the hi-cap ban rolls around and/or ammo prices go up more. i love the .40...

My Sigma SW40VE has around 1,500 rounds through it and not a single hiccup.

The trigger was unacceptable at first (Thanks to the Glock lawsuit), but after doing the trigger mod I had a new weapon. (I also did not change the striker spring to avoid light strikes)

This handgun is extremely accurate in the right hands. My son shot the X out of a target center on his first firing at 30 feet and the rest in a 2" group... I only wish that I could do it He shoots my Sigma better than his own Glock G19 and G33.

I would never hesitate recommending this handgun, especially for the price. Why pay hundreds more when a small amount of work can get you a reliable and accurate weapon?

Their customer service is great, I'm sending mine back for repairs. S&W pays overnight UPS both ways. I should have it back in 2-3 weeks.

I've had my sigma 9ve for about a year and a half now. about 1K rounds of various types of ammo (from normal to +P hollow points) No problems. Loved it. Has eaten every kind of ammo I've put through it. Has fired reliably when wet and a little dirty. I like the heavier trigger as there is no external safety, and it improves my shooting with other SA handguns. I definitely recommend it, especially as it's your third gun. Be sure to break it in well with either frequent range time, or a snap cap and lots of SAFE dry firing. i also polished the sear and several other metal contact points around the trigger with a dremel and some mother's mag polish, which lessened the trigger pull by a pound or so (never actually measured it).

Absolutely recommend it (and I generally prefer DA/SA pistols). I use mine as my normal carry piece as it is relatively light and comfortable.
