I am wondering about the trigger pull and travel length for a Sigma 40. (SW40VE)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

that's what she said.
as for the above post about "modding" your trigger. If you don't like a 10lb trigger pull that does lighten up once the gun gets broken in then don't buy the sigma. If you have a steady 'squeeze" or "roll" on the trigger like your suposto its not a problem. besides, "modding" your gun is probably grounds for a voided warranty. whats more important? a 3# trigger were you will probably shoot yourself in the leg drawing from concealed or a life time warranty?

I guess I didn't word my question very clearly. I am wondering what is the amount of trigger pull (is it 10 lbs?) and I am wondering about how long the trigger travels. I know the M&P 40 trigger travels .3 inches. Is the Sigma 40 the same, or is it different?

Per S&W, the trigger pull is approx. 3/4" and requires 10-12 lbs of "pull".

Sounds about right. It'll smooth out the more rounds you put through it. Just shoot it. You'll be fine.

Just picture it as a DA revolver and you'll get the idea. After breaking in the trigger, it will be lighter than a good DA revolver.
My sigma pulls 8 pounds after thousands of rounds. My 66-2 pulls 10.5 pounds and it's older than me.
My father-in-law just bought a .38 bodyguard and he told me the trigger is very hard and long. ( owns a glock 17 w/ the stock 3.5 trigger group) owning the guns I have, I didn't see a problem with it.
It's all what your use to.

Thanks for the info. I've been trying to get that info from S&W and anybody else. You are the first one to give me the answer.

I have had a Sigma 9mm for 4 months now and I love the gun. I also own a BG380. These guns have two distinct purposes. For the pure joy of just shooting the Sigma is tops. For me it's as different as driving a Chevy Chevette (BG380) and then moving up to a Cadillac. going from a Chevy Chevette

i just finished my second round trigger job. i went against what everyone else said and cut down my sear. i installed a trigger stop and now my pull length is down to about 5/32. ive been to the range three times with this combo and through about 400 rounds with 0 ftf or any other problems.

heres a pic of the stop, cant really show a pic of the sear. original contact distance of sear to striker was about .90mm cut it down to about .50mm. I filed down the bottom most section of the striker where it contacts the sear.

Another post that says long & hard. Mine is a 12 lbs trigger but if you develop the proper techinque it really does shoot well. The heavy trigger pull will actually make you a better shooter if you let it.

I agree with ET. I bunch up rounds well with my SW9VE. Contrary to what some say, some (we) have figured out the Sigma and it's 10-12 lbs trigger pull. It definately makes us better shooters.

Just a few minutes ago, I heard my son-in-law shooting, so I grabbed my sigma and ran outside. I don't need much excuse to shoot it lately.
I had just finished working on it. I cleaned it, and then started working on polishing the moving parts(again). This time, I cut a Qtip in half and pulled some of the cotton off of it. Then I attached it to my dremel and dipped it in some red polishing compound. Using the dremel, I polished the inside of the sear slot. I had already attempted smooth it with fine wet and dry sand paper. Then, I fine sanded the plastic ramp that the sear cam slides on. But, to top it off I sprayed everything with S&W dry lube and wiped the excess. My trigger pull is so smooth it feels like it is sliding through butter. I also pulled the striker and extractor and sprayed it, as well as the slide. Everything was lightly wiped.
My son-in-law paided me the ultimate insult(compliment?). He whistled and told me that it fired like a Glock. He was amazed at how smooth it fired. He had a friend visiting and when told how much a Sigma costs, after firing mine, he said he no longer wanted a Glock like my son-in-laws. He said he is buying a Sigma.
Right now I am firing a few boxes of PMC 115gr FMJ that I picked up for about $9 a box of 50. I almost bought some cheap brown bear ammo, but got turned off when I saw the drips in the coating on the brass. I want to torture my pistol, but I not going to put that krap in it. If I can fire the worst stuff in it without failure, then I will be comfortable firing my better stuff, Ranger LE and Federal HST.
When I finish torturing my Sigma with cheap stuff, I will start firing +P ammo from it. So far I have not found the ceiling on it's capability yet. I am starting to like this pistol almost as much as I liked my old Ruger Security Six.

I agree. I have gotten better groups with the Sigma than with the M&P precisely because of the trigger. It is heavy but smooth.
