I shot my recently bought used SW9VE (Serial # RBDxxxx....so I think it was manufactured around 08 or 09) yesterday and it was a great experience . The trigger is far better than some I have felt in the Sigma line but I do however want a smoother and less pull required on the trigger, and checking the pistol I see no mods have been done. I know this is ancient history to most of you, but did not see a post on the removal of the trigger pigtail and outer trigger springs plus polish the sear mechanism like I saw in YouTube. Has anyone done this, and is it 1...how long does the single spring last vice the dual spring.... and 2 ....does it really make that much of a difference?

I did the youtube mod a few years ago, (''Making a silk purse from a sow's ear I think was the title from the one I did). My results were great, lightened and smoothed out the trigger quite a bit. My brother in law has the same gun so I am able to compare. Originally, I left it with just the single inner spring. It worked fine, the single spring worried me a bit, with no support, it seemed like it 'wobbled' around, bent more than I wanted to see but it worked. Smoothing out the inside slot of the sear is tricky because it's really a small slot. I eventually put a light second bigger spring back just for support of the smaller inner spring. I've shot thousands of rounds through it, shot it today, side by side with my wife's M&P. The Sigma still impresses me! No question, the M&P has a better trigger. My brother in law put the Apex trigger kit into his gun, I haven't gone shooting with him since he upgraded it, that might be the best way to go. Many people have done the "youtube" trigger 'upgrade' and have had no bad issues.

I did the trigger mod by removing the 2 springs, polishing the sear and sear housing this afternoon. A shorter trigger pull would be nice, but it is not that bad. The single spring does bother me a little, it just looks flimsy in the housing. I did notice a slight crack in the sear lower edge, have to get one someplace, but I do not think it is unsafe to shoot. Going to shoot tomorrow , the trigger feels much better than before. Grittiness gone and the pull much smoother.
