To: gmchenry Yes, Kawabuggy is that guy and what he says to you is the truth. You've done nothing but put people down who post their mods here from day one. We are all adults here trying to figure out and share some mechanical information about a machine. Thank goodness most of us don't...

This is a nice website with really good pictures of the disassembly process. If you are looking for something deeper, like getting into the striker spring, I'll try to post that for you Mickstix. Let me know.http://www.notpurfect.com/main/sigma.html Bottom line, this is a "budget blaster"...

Wow, Kawabuggy, your last paragraph and last line are inspiration everyone can use these days. Hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna hold on to that for a while. I need those reminders every now and again. I still haven't gotten to experiment with my striker spring, but armed with your info and...

That's it. The catch is that the extractor spring, while under lots of pressure, only will shoot out about 1/8-inch past the slide cover if you just hold a finger there as you remove the cover. It is real easy to do, but you do have to balance the 3 jobs: slide the white plastic sleeve forward...

Thank you. I'll try this out today. So basically, almost everything on the Sigma is "remove the spring tension and the locking piece will drop off". A simple yet effective design. I'll let you know how the Glock 4-pounder tests go. Thanks for all your help, everyone.

I took a look at it after you posted about the striker spring the first time and I didn't see how the spring was held onto the firing pin - that is the right spring? I was asking because what's holding that assembly together wasn't as obvious to me as it was to you. I was hoping you...

That helps confirm my observations that the outside spring helps keep the inside spring in the proper configuration. I noticed that when I had the sear out of the weapon and was manually operating it to see how it worked. Without an outside spring, the inside spring would become mis-shaped and...

Yes, that looks great. Thanks for finding that. I'll get some ordered, install them and try them out. I'll let you know if it makes a difference to the feel of the trigger, FTFs, etc.

That is for the Sigma reduced power Striker, and thank you. I was looking for the 4-pound Glock spring that worked. My thinking is if the stock spring is 4.75-pounds and the reduced Sigma spring is 3.5-pounds (and fails occasionally), if I can get a 4-pound spring, it will reduce the trigger...

I can only say the mods I've done to my 40VE have made me really like this gun - AND - it is reliable. I'm finding that how I lubricate this weapon is CRITICAL. Too much is not good - some of you probably know that. I'm looking for a good "dry slide" lubricant for it now. I know it's been...

mr. 72, I'm merely stating what I know from my own experience. My Sigma was not under warranty, so I didn't have that to contend with. Your decision to do a spring job or not is always your decision. Our lives may depend on our decisions in a self-defense situation. I'm sure the Sigma will go...

The way the inner spring is made, if you don't take off more than 1/8 of an inch, it still seats properly in the sear parts and the outer spring still rests properly, too. My springs have been ground down, not cut. Cutting will damage the springs - grind with care so as not to heat the...

I've studied the design of this assembly for quite a while now. I think the outer sear spring is actually there to hold the inner sear spring in place. If you ever take them out, you'll find that the inner spring has a lot of tension on it and it tends to bow without the outer spring around it...

I finished phase one of the Sigma trigger rework this weekend and it makes a huge difference in the smoothness and the toughness of the trigger pull. I followed 99Mustang's route and shortened the outer and inner sear springs by 1/8 inch. I left the coil spring installed at this time at the...

Thanks for all the great information here, especially to 99Mustang and Kawabuggy. I think I'm ready to tackle my Sigma trigger job now armed with really good information (and excellent pictures). I'm in the process of finding the Dremel polishing kit that has the long thin polishing...
