I have read a lot of reviews and opinions about the Smith &Wesson sigma series weapons and the only real complaint that comes up is that the trigger is tough or even atrocious. I personally have a SW9VE and I couldn't be happier with the gun. In all honesty the trigger (as it comes from the Smith & Wesson) is tough. However with some smithing the problem can be completely removed. I had mine smithed by a gentleman named Tom Novak (http://www.handgunneroutlet.net./service/sigma.htm) and it completely alleviated the problem. The trigger from the manufacture is estimated to require between 8 to 12 pounds of pressure. With a simple and fairly inexpensive trigger job, I had mine brought down to around 4 pounds of pressure and it makes a world of difference. I understand why many people complain about the trigger as it comes from the manufacturer however the problem doesn’t warrant the reputation the NEWEST models of Sigma series have received especially when such an easy fix is so easily attainable.
The most ironic part about the weapons is claims that S&W did a poor job with the weapon solely based upon consumer dislike of the trigger. THE TRIGGER WAS INTENTIONALLY MADE HARD! To cater to law enforcement requests, the sigma was equipped with a hard trigger to ensure safety. Because the weapon was Double Action Only, the hard trigger pull was requested and implemented to avoid accidental firing.
Also anyone that claims that sigma series weapons aren’t target weapons should try firing one that has had a trigger job done and reevaluate their current opinion. The difference it makes is night and day. Smith & Wesson made another fine series with the sigma’s.
