While at the range last weekend, a guy shooting next to me had an early release S&W Sigma 9mm. I have seen the Sigmas in shops before, and they have always been a gun that I was curious about but never handled. The guy and I got to talking and he let me put a few rounds down range with it. The guy told me that he had a trigger job done to it to lighten the pull, but the breaking point was unchanged.

The gun had absolutely no stacking and gave absolutely no indication when the sear would trip the striker. The gun fired after pulling the trigger approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the way from the set position. This meant that the gun fired LONG before the trigger was anywhere near the rear of the trigger well. I couldn't believe that the gun wouldn't give any indication of when it would trip the striker. He said that the gun had always been that way, and that was why he liked it so much. I guess to each their own, but I was completely put off by the inability to know when the gun would fire during the trigger pull. Is this normal for these guns??

I have a SW9VE and had some trigger work done, but it sounds like the work that other guy has was overkill. Mine still has a long pull, and it feels like there are 2 "stages" when squeezing the trigger before actually firing. IMO that other guys gun sounds dangerous.
 
Agreed. I just couldn't believe the statement that his trigger had always been that way, and if it had, something was seriously wrong with the gun. I have just read a lot of different complaints about the trigger pull weight with this model, but I had never read someone posting about the break point on the gun. Thanks for the reply.
 
If it strikes so early I'm surprised that there was enough spring tension to pop the primer. Sound like a single action type of trigger that I wouldn't be carrying with a round in the chamber.

The long trigger is what the safety is.
