When I started shooting again in 1999, I had a 9mm Sigma. The one I picked up came from CA by way of eBay, new for $279 with shipping. Good pistol, wish I had never sold it. It may be true they are a hit or miss deal on the QA, but the one I had was a big hit and I'm sorry I didn't keep it. It would shoot/feed anything you could load into the mag. 17 rounds of 90-147gr, lead-FMJ-HP, mix and match at will, nothing slowed it down. The only downside with the pistol was it would not group better than 6"@ 25yds with any load. I know I can shoot better than that. It is the only pistol I’ve owned that I knew I could out shoot.
