Default Sigmas on sale at Academy

The 40 or 9 only $279 you cant beat that price. I had planned on buying an SD buy think ill pick up the Sigma 40. I already own the 9mm and im always hesitant to buy the first series of firearms as they always seem to make needed changes. The Sigma has already been refined and has a proven track record.

That’s a good price. Get it you wont regret it. I also wanted an SD40 but ended up with the Sigma due to a screw up by a clerk at my LGS. Paid $320 OTD for the 40VE and the owner of the gun store threw in two extra mags to make amends. So, I don’t feel too bad that I didn’t wait for this deal. I really like my 40VE and it even impressed a die hard Glock guy. See my thread: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-w...glock-guy.html

I've never made a claim that the sigma was the best gun in the world, but it sure is the best $300 I've ever spent.

I went to Academy Sports tonight to buy a SW9VE, since they were on sale for $279...but they had a SD9 for $399, and I haven't seen one in gun shops around here for a long time, so I got the SD9 instead of the SW9VE. Got home, and as I'm looking over the SD9 I notice the slide/frame fit is really loose (it rattles, and I'm not talking about the magazine...the magazine was out.) I handled a SD9 about a year ago, and I don't remember it rattling like this one.

Now I'm kinda wishing I had gotten the SW9VE. Oh well, I'm sure S&W will make it right if there is something wrong.

I have seen several threads about that very same thing along with slide stop lever problems. Id be far more concerned with the play in the slide. Its bound to cause more wear than if it was a tight fit.

I like what the SD has to offer but as I said before I never like buying the first series.
