Bought another Sigma 9mm

[doc540]

The used one I bought is back at S&W on their dime having the trigger smoothed, and I needed another one for a downstairs house gun for MrsDoc.

Looked and looked at used ones around $300 after shipping.

Said "wth?" and bought a brand new one from Academy for $339.

Even with the stiff trigger it's a deal at that price for 17 rounds of 9mm and a S&W warranty.

I'll mount the laser on it, but probably won't put a laser on the car gun.

Definitely not a Glock, but the price was right!

(Ok, let's hear your stories of buying them new years ago with a $50 rebate)

Damn near a Glock, Doc.

Maybe, maybe not.

I haven't seen any new Glocks around here for $339, and that was actually about $50 over my budget for a car gun.

I'd just sold the M360, made some money, and now have a new Smith in hand rather than a Glock out there in "find-a-deal" land.

Kind of like buying a Craftsman instead of a Snap On.

And, if you meant "in utility", I agree.

After the trigger is broke in, it's better than a glock.
I can weaken the trigger pull on the Sigma, I cannot change the grips and sight axis on a glock.
Sigmas are the best grip in the business.

I stopped by the local sports/archery/gun shop today (just a little private shop) and they had used sigmas for *drum roll please* $449.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost laughed out loud. People talk about California gun prices being high, but here in the Chicago suburbs, I would never even THINK about buying a gun in the immediate area. I know of one place I will, and have, buy firearms from, it is a 45 minute drive from me but the price difference is SO worth it. RIDICULOUS the prices around here.

I bought a used 40VE for $189 at a gun store, in Newington, CT., about 6 months ago. Next to my used $189 40VE was a used 40VE for $375. I asked the salesman what gives, he said on consignment gun sales owners have different opinions and expectations. I said I'd take the $189 40VE and I'm glad I did.

I bought my 40VE a little over a year ago For $300 with the $50 rebate and the 2 extra mags. About 2 weeks ago I came up with a 9VE Allied Forces for $275. Love them both.

A Allied for 275 is quite a deal. Nice find.
I shake my head at these prices for such a gun. I like them better than any pistol I have ever owned and they sell for a little more than Hi Point prices.
It amazes me. Absolutely amazes me that such a fine gun can be such a secret when people are so in love with buying MP's for twice as much.
And makes me happy I suppose, I can get more.

My wife picked one up last month. Really a nice gun. I have been shooting it at the range and like it.
I hear alot of complaints about the heavy trigger, doesnt seem that bad to me.
let us know how the trigger job at the factory goes.

Ain't no secret...it's S&Ws number 1 seller.

]Did they give you any grief about doing warranty work on a used gun? I purchased mine used also and the warranty card was not in the box so I assume that serial number was already assigned to the first owner.

love my sigma 9mm.. would be great to hear how the trigger work turns out.. really do not mind factory version, but interested in smoothing work results.
