Update Sigma Trigger job

[gatorhugger]

Sent two guns to the LGS for trigger work. The allied finish one came back ok but still a little gritty. I sold it to a friend in need.

The stainless one I took to the range yesterday.
It's got a nice light trigger pull in the 6-7 pound range at most, a short pull, and it breaks before you know it. No more building pressure on a hard spring and then a clean break.
It's light, light, light, and then bang. I cannot feel it climbing the seer at all during the break. The first shot actually surprised me and I missed the target. You don't really know when its going off because you cant stage the trigger.
My next 10 shots were all bullseyes from 7 yards, maybe an 1.5 inch spread for 10 shots. Pretty incredible accuracy and a pretty neat glock like trigger.
It's like a new gun.
Highly recommended service.

Not trying to hijack your thread or anything but I was thinking about posting a video on youtube on how to do some trigger work on the sigma. It requires removing some springs. Should I post a link on here or just kind of let people find it on their own? I just dont want to get slammed on here from people who think only a gunsmith should do these kinds of things, which I am not.

Im new but I would say put a link up. Your never gonna please everyone. Also, just because someone sees something on youtube doesnt mean its always right or the only way to do something. I always use stuff like that as a referance. No offence or anything...

None taken. I actually got the info on what to do and how to do it from someone else which ill give credit to on the video.

Frank Smith is the man and no shade tree gunsmith going to match his work. Plus LGS doesn't void your S&W Warrenty!

Can anyone provide contact information like an e-mail, address and phone for LGS?

Thanks

P.S. This is on the back page of your owner's manual.

LOL - I'm in the IT industry, and as such, the manual is always the course of last resort.

thats 100% right. Frank @ LSG did great job on my SW40VE

 

[dondavis3]

Well I decided to send it back to S&W for a free trigger tune job - they even paid freight both ways.

I called and then sent it to :

I'll let you know how it does.

Mine had been back to S&W (up to Mass.)about a year ago and they really improved the trigger. A couple weeks ago the striker broke and this time I sent it to LSG and asked for a trigger job too. New pistol is all I can say. He flattened out the striker where the sear drags it back and it breaks sooner. He further polished all contact points and modified the "pigtail spring" to where it no longer adds pounds to the trigger pull. I'm guessing about 7 lbs. pull, silky smooth with a shorter break. Still long and hard enough to be a very safe carry weapon. If I wore lipstick, it would be on both ears! I'm going to send my wife's to him for the voodoo he do so well!

 

[dondavis3]

+1 KyWstJoe that is good to know.

I can't wait to get mine back.

This is straight from the horse's mouth

The Sigma was designed to simulate the feel of a double action revolver as a transition weapon for officers changing from a revolver to a pistol. A trigger pull of about 10 lbs is necessary for the weapon to function. However, if the trigger pull is excessively heavy or rough, those issues can be addressed. If you would like to send it in for repair:



Put your name, address, phone number, and the issue(s) that you are having inside the case with the gun. Take it to a FedEx service center (not a FedEx Kinkos or a mom & pop place) or there are sometimes FedEx Express Drop boxes at US Post Offices. Go to FedEx.com to find your closest shipping location. Ask for a white medium express box, they will give it to you free of charge (don't let them "sell" you a box). Smith & Wesson only pays for the shipping, not the shipping materials. Please include all magazines if there is a feeding, misfire, and or extraction issue.

ronlovell do you work with frank? or are you just posting up the information for everybody?

By the way I will be getting my sigma back from Frank tom and can't wait to go to the range.

 

[Rick-F]

So, how long do you suppose S&W can afford to give these trigger jobs away? I know it is a great thing for those getting their Sigma "fixed" and for LSG too (I assume)-- but it has to be costing S&W some serious $. The Sigma sells for about $300 (now a $50) rebate; add in shipping both ways and "free" trigger job -- can't be too much profit left. Perhaps S&W is banking on a lot of new Sigma owners adding a M&P later . . .

 

[cdj588]

is it still safe to carry this gun with a lighter trigger pull since that is the only safety. or is it just a little smoother pull?

 

[Rick-F]

It will be just smoother and a bit lighter-- you can be sure that LSG/ Frank Smith is not going to return any Sigma that is "unsafe" that just had Smith & Wesson factory authorized warranty work.
