First Gun, little Gritty.

[TheHobbiest]

Well I brought home a sigma 9 ve today, shot 100 rounds threw it at the range at 7 yards. Pretty good accuracy, not at first but I noticed I was pulling low left and corrected it. Accuracy is good enough for me for a SD gun, and a HD gun since my house is small. I do however think I will be calling it lil Grit, for how gritty the trigger feels right out of the box.

If there is a quality gunsmith here in Gainesville Florida or close by I will be looking for someone to remove the grit and the Spongy noise from the gun soon. The long trigger pull and 10lbs resistence is fine by me, I kinda like it. Not knowing any other way to shoot a gun, other than plinking with my brothers firearms I dont mind it. But that grit is a bit annoying. All in all I am very happy with the lil Grit. What a fair Price and such a sturdy gun. Their are some horror stories on the net but they are all mostly old, its 2011 and this sigma 9mm VE is a sweet deal. American MADE! Great.

So this S&W warranty its lifetime is it? Ive registered my Serial number online. But not sure if its lifetime, Ive read that it is. Its new and Im the original owner, so no problem right?

Btw Hi! Im a brand new gun owner and couldnt be happier.
If any of you would feel so inclined as to offer some thoughts on all of these concerns I'd be appreciative. Thanks.

Congratulations on the new gun. As has been said, S&W can de-grit the trigger, or you can dry fire (or live fire!) the snot out of it and the grit may go away.

Pick whichever method sounds like the most fun for you. Enjoy!

Sigma withdrawals

Got my Sigma in November, and have put about 2500 rounds through it, and the trigger is smooth as silk now. It is a real pleasure to shoot.
Customer service is excellent, so if you go that route, you will be ok too, or you can shoot the grit out of your weapon...lol!
On a side note....
I too have had the problem of shooting low and left, and just figured I would do some "Kentucky windage" and not worry about it, but the last time I was cleaning it, I noticed that the front sight was slightly off center of the slide, and on the left side was a microscopic half-moon of some white substance that was pretty much invisible to the naked eye. However, I called the customer support folks and they told me to send the slide back (on their nickle via FedEx) and they would correct the problem. When I mentioned the POI being low, they offered to put a shorter front sight on while the slide was there as long as I put it in the request for service they require (name, address, phone, etc., why sending it back and what it's doing). Slide gets picked up tomorrow and should be back in my hands in about two weeks (+/-).

So here's the problem: what do I do to cure the sigma withdrawals for the next two weeks?
