I figured I would do a quick write up on the trigger job I did and my results.

I first took out the sear block and sanded/polished the curved part the makes contact with the plastic part of the sear housing. I then replaced the "outer" spring with a spring from a ball-point-pen (after cutting it down to the length of the original spring) that has about 1/10 of the tension of the spring that came in the gun. (The only purpose of this spring is to keep the inner one from bending out the side and to make the trigger pull stiffer.) I left the "pigtail" spring in there as it does not make much difference, but has an important job of resetting the sear (some people just take this out, I would advise against that.) I also replaced the stryker spring with the wolf stryker spring. This is all reversible if I ever need to send my gun to S.W.

My results are a night and day difference. I have fired 200 rounds through my gun without one malfunction. The trigger is MUCH lighter as well as much smoother all the way through. I am very pleased with the results.

I like the way a sigma feels in my hand but always passed them by.That trigger is why.

S&W will fix it for Free. Why they don't do this before they send them out is beyond me.
