Sigma S & W

[OutaAmmo]

Would the Sigma S & W make a good carry gun?

Would the 9mm or .40 be the best for the S & W Sigma?

 

[Joe Williams]

Most folks who have one say they are functional, but I think there are better choices in the price range, largely because I think the trigger sucks wind. Still, S&W is offering two free mags with the purchase of a new Sigma, and $80 is nothing to sneeze at.

9mm is cheaper to buy, and a little lighter and less snappy in recoil. Other than that, it doesn't really matter a hill of beans which you choose in regards to caliber.

i like my .40 sigma just fine. the trigger is "unique", and took some training with the gun for me to get comfortable with.
no matter what you settle on, train with it!

Love my .40 (SW40VE) Sigma. Try switching out the trigger spring with one from a M&P model. Makes a world of difference.

They are fine for carry and for $250 after rebate one heck of a deal. I'd get the 9mm. The .40 Sigmas are snappy imho.

I agree but you will pay double.

Had a Sigma. Couldn't stand it. I even sent the thing back to S&W twice because it wouldn't feed hollowpoints. The 2nd time, they called to tell me that it was "operating perfectly within acceptable parameters". When I asked if they finally got it to feed hollowpoints, they said no, and suggested I only load it with FMJ.

I couldn't sell that POS fast enough. Bought a Glock 23, and have never regretted the decision.

my buddy who had a sigma couldnt get that thing to work no matter what. he had a hard time gettin rid of it. probably because everybody else already knew they suck. i would get a m&p and be done with it.

Sigma = $350 M&P = $600

In the same price range, though, you can also get an SR9 or a P95, and both are worth looking at.

Right about the p95 but you can get a m&p for 550 or less all day if you search. I have seen sigma's low as 299

 

[Fenway]

I would avoid that for a daily carry gun. How about a S&W M&P or a used Glock.

Had one, sold it, am much happier with a G 19. Try searching sigma here to find some other comments and welcome to INGO

There is nothing wrong with the newer sigmas. The trigger pull is heavy and long. For the money.....they are great and do the job. I have put thousands of rounds through mine. I have carried it in the past. The trigger pull ,with training, is not bad for a carry gun. The long, tense pull decreases the liklihood of AD. An M&P is basically the same gun with polished features....hence the $300 difference.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

My kid's boyfriend has a .40 he'll sell you. But if I were you, I'd go to Bud's and look at the Sig 2022's. Heck of a value for the price.



Oops, Bud's appears to be out.... Might check out the classifieds here... Several nice shooters..

I carry my 40VE everyday. It's a decent gun for the price. The only thing is the trigger, but its for personal protection. As long as it goes bang everytime I pull the trigger it's fine by me. It's better than not having anything.

The Sigmas and MPs are not basically the same guns. I don't think SW started with a Sigma and made upgrades to get an MP. I own both and there are some significant difference. Both have been great guns though. The MP is a better shooter (more accurate, better trigger, etc...).

Buds has Sigmas for $299 (and there's a $50 rebate) and CDNN has MP9s for $449.

I hade a VE40 myself, had the worst grouping and felt top heavy. I got a taurus millenium on trade for it and never looked back.
