I was checking out a Sw9ve review here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgnRATOimSY

The first comment down the guy says just to wad up newspaper and stick in the trigger guard to hold the trigger back and leave it that way and it will loosen trigger pull.

I about spit my drink out when i read it.Anyway i was wondering if you guys have ever heard of this?

Also,I thought springs had to be worked to loosen up. I'm not 100% sure though.

As I've posted before, I use Sigmas for trainers and am familiar with all the "improvements" being passed around.
If you ever have any intent of using your Sigma for defense, there is not much to do other than use and a little polishing and retain 100% reliability with hot defense loads.

If you want to only shoot PF 135 loads on the range, you can take out one of the sear springs. Remember, the hotter the load, the more you need both sear springs to get reset.

P.S. Holding the trigger back after firing only involves the trigger return spring, which contributes very little to the trigger pull. Most "improvements" are apparently engineered by people who have limited understanding of the design.

OKFC05,Thanks for the input. Smiler I shoot mine stock and it works great for me. I have no intention of changing anything. I just thought that was an odd way of doing a trigger job. Maybe the guy is just blowin smoke up peoples ***!

I would like to get my Sigma's trigger down to around 5lbs and keep it 100% reliable if it would be possible but, it sounds like the gun was just meant to have a heavy pull. I heard the M&Ps trigger is easy to improve, I wonder why not the Sigma?

You heard right. If you want a 4 to 5# trigger right from the factory, get the M&P Pro Series, all set up for IDPA/SSP or USPSA Production, and my personal favorite "combat tupperware." The M&P trigger is a whole different design from the Sigma.

If the Sigma were like the M&P, well, it would be the M&P and you could not buy one for $250. It is a sturdy basic defense pistol, not a platform to build up a competition gun.
