I hate the two tone color of the Sigma. They make an Allied Forces (Afghan) all black one, but they are not common and want more for the color:confused:. Too bad, as I would bite on one of the Allied black ones with the S&W rebate as would my co-worker, but NOT on these two-tone ones.

Buy it, then hit it with John Norrel's Moly Resin in semi-gloss black. It just about perfectly matches the frame. Be sure to properly prep. it first.

Now that you mention it, I noticed the all-black Sigma models have been dropped from the S&W website.

The Allied Forces and the GVE both left the website the same day the SD's appeared.

The only AF's I've seen since then have been the ones that come in the survival kit.

Can't wait to shoot the SD9!
 
My 442 is black, the wife's 642 is silver (with pink grips) so the two tone is a nice compromise since we'll both be shooting it and neither one carrying it.
 
Here is my SW9E (no v because there is no stainless steel). Melonite slide and melonite barrel. Pre-dated the Allied Forces models by several years. So far it has proven to be perfectly reliable and surprisingly accurate.

So buy an SD i have the SD40 it's a great gun, i shoot it and do very well it's my ccw.
 
I kinda like my two-tone SW40VE... but I have the benefit of being setup to do powdercoating if I should change my mind~!
 
I like the Allied Forces and the black finish does have its advantages. I wore it on a robbery detail this week and when that baloon goes up, all you want the other guy(s) to see are muzzle flashes.

AF's are becoming harder to find. I checked with lots of police supply outfits before I finally gave up, called S&W and had them ship one to the nearest supply house. It was going to be an 'agency letterhead' gun anyhow.
 
White SW Logo on my Allied Forces Sigma

New to the forum and notice this post on Allied Forces black Sigmas, I have a question on my AF Sigma; the SW logo on the handle is overlaid in white on both sides, it looks nice and adds a nice contrast, I have looked at several pictures/images on line of the AF Sigma and all the handles have the SW logo in black, does this mean that the white overlaid color will wear off in time on the logo?
 
If mine earns a permanent place (which it well may) I plan to try one of the magic sprays and make it all black like it should be. Is there a gunsmith out there that does this sort of thing regularly?

Maaco?
 
I know this is an old thread, but,

a friend of my recently passed away. his wife gave me all of his guns and ammo. One of the guns was an SW9VE Allied forces Sigma with 4 mags. It has an RAMxxxx serial number and was made in 2007. The trigger is horrendous but I am working on it by having the sear polished and the pigtail removed along with exchanging the outer spring on the sear by Sigmatriggers.com. The striker spring will stay the same. He fired it all of 150 times. There is not a scratch on the rails or a mark on the gun. I don't know if I will keep it or sell it. Seems to be worth more as a keeper given the prices I am seeing. All in all I got 3 guns, a case of 9mm, 3 bricks of 22LR (Eley), extra mags, cleaning supplies, an Uplula, an air gun, a sling shot, and more.

Just had my SW9VE's sear done by sigmatriggers. Much smoother and lighter. I think you will be pleased.
 
It (the trigger group and sear) should be here tomorrow, thursday. I will put it back in and head to the range. Jeff told me on his gun it measured 5.2# but mine should be a little more since the sear has not really had time to seat. I will post once I shoot.

Very similar to my experience with Jeff. He seems like a good guy.
 
I had to contact Jeff about my trigger pull. I used weights instead of a trigger gauge. My trigger measured 12+ before the work and unfortunately, measures 9.5 after. While it is smoother, it is still too heavy for any degree of accurate shooting. I have contacted him as he has guaranteed his work.

I took the slide apart and gently polished the area where the sear engages the striker hook. Polished it to a nice mirror finish (took no metal off) and this improved the trigger pull significantly. I will shoot it for a while and then report back. It feels nice in the hand and hopefully it will work its way in to a good shooter.
