the trigger is heavy, like the double action on a wheel gun. there are two thing you can do. first you can shoot it a lots and learn the trigger. or, second you can do a trigger clean up and drop in a galloway trigger kit. i got two sigmas and one i did option 1 and the other option 2. both guns are used a range guns for the grandkids. they have many round shot. both have never given me any problems. so if the standard heavy trigger is to heavy for you then do a trigger clean up and the galloway trigger kit.
