Well after 750rds I finally had to sell my sigma 9mm. I just could not get the gun to run. Now I own a Springfield XDm 3.8 compact in 9mm. This gun will run anything put in it. Sorry to be the one to tell you all that the Sigma is junk. This is just MHO. To all of you that own and enjoy there Sigma congrats.

So why are you sorry? Not your fault. One man's junk is another man's treasure. Now I wish I can find an unhappy Sigma 40ve or SD40 owner. :D

Ya know, you could have just as easily gotten a lemon xd, how ever, congrats that you're happy. The sigma is as easily flawed as any other gun made by a man. Until Jesus decides to be a gun maker, there will always be the one in a million gun that's messed up. So, calling the sigma junk is a lil bit of a subjective statement. Your junk is some dudes treasure. Hope you have fun with the xd, I'm getting a Stoeger cougar 9mm in a few weeks. Happy shooting.
 
When I held the Sigma it felt great. The sigma was bought for home and personal protection. I can't see haveing a firearm that I am not 100% confident that in at a time of need. It's in the back of my mind,will this gun perform properly.
 
COLT

IMPORTANT PRODUCT RECALL NOTICE

Colt's Manufacturing Company LLC has determined that the Slide Lock Safety ("Safety") and/or the Recoil Spring Guide Pad ("Guide Pad") in certain Colt model pistols were not manufactured to Colt specifications and must be replaced. All of these Colt models were sold after March 2007 and the range of serial numbers affected by this product recall is as follows:

Model Serial Number Range

1911 WWI REPLICA 4597WMK to 5414WMK
1918 WWI REPLICA 1001WWI to 3431WWI
COMBAT ELITE CG10000E to G11293E
NEW AGENT GT01001 to GT04505
DEFENDER DR33036 to DR35948
TALO NIGHT DEFENDER NDF0001 to NDF0400


Ruger

We have determined that some Ruger SR9 pistols manufactured between October 2007 and April 2008 can, under certain conditions, fire if dropped with their manual safeties in the "off" or "fire" position. The pistols will not fire if the manual safety is in the "on" or "safe" position.

We will retrofit all affected SR9 pistols (those with serial number 330-29999 or lower) with these parts at no charge to our customers. In order to ensure correct fitting, the new parts must be installed at our Ruger factory in Prescott, Arizona. We will remove the old parts and install the new trigger group promptly, at no charge, and will return the pistol to you. The old parts will not be returned.

We have resumed production of SR9 pistols and the "330" prefix remains the same in both the original and newly manufactured pistols. However, newly manufactured SR9 pistols have serial numbers of 30000 or higher (that is 330-30000 or more) and original SR9 pistols have serial numbers below 30000 (that is, 330-29999 or less). Of course, if you purchased a used SR9 or recently purchased a new SR9, it may already have the retrofit parts.


RECALL NOTICE – BERETTA NEOS PISTOLS

Beretta U.S.A. Corp. has discovered a potential condition with Beretta .22 caliber NEOS semiautomatic pistols in which the pistol will fire even if the safety is activated and, in some cases, the pistols may fire if the safety is moved from the OFF to the ON position. Chances of either of these situations occurring is extremely remote and no injuries have occurred because of this condition, however, because of safety concerns relating to this situation, Beretta U.S.A. Corp. is immediately implementing a recall of Beretta .22 caliber NEOS semiautomatic pistols.

If you have a Beretta NEOS pistol, please send it to our Accokeek Maryland Service Center for repair. Instructions on how to send your Neos to Beretta is available at NEOS Service Home or by calling 1-800-BERETTA. Note: Some pistols are not subject to recall. Please visit NEOS Service Home to see if your NEOS has already been repaired.


Glock

It was recently discovered that some magazines issued for the Glock 35 (40 S&W) might cause a jam upon feeding the last cartridge from the magazine into the chamber of the pistol. This leaves the pistol with a slide partially open and the nose of the cartridge firmly jammed against the feed ramp.

The effected magazines have a number "5" molded into the follower (see image 1 below). Glock has produced new magazines for these pistols that have a new follower that now has "6." molded into the follower.


Oakland Police Issues an Emergency Recall of their new Gen 4 Glock 22 Pistols
After numerous pistols were reported to have suffered repeated malfunctions, Oakland, California's Police Department issued an Emergency order to their officers to turn in their brand new Gen 4 Glock 22 handguns this week, and replace them with their old Gen 3 pistols that they had just turned in days earlier.

So the officers are now back to using their old worn out Gen 3 Glock 22's, while folks try to figure out what is wrong with the new Gen 4 pistols.



MODEL 710®
PRODUCT SAFETY WARNING
AND RECALL NOTICE

Remington Arms Company, Inc. is voluntarily recalling a limited number of Model 710 bolt-action rifles as a result of its discovery, during routine test firing, that some Model 710 rifles manufactured between July and October 2002 may have been assembled with an improperly made "Safety Detent Spring." Although unlikely, there is a possibility that the manual safety arm mechanism in such a rifle could fail to fully return to the "safe" or "on" position.

If you own a Model 710 rifle please enter your serial number by clicking here to determine if your firearm needs to be inspected or repaired as part of the recall.


The list goes on and on point being all manufactures have problems its a mechanical device some will fail. But looking at Sigma sales id say they are doing something right
 
I can't see haveing a firearm that I am not 100% confident that in at a time of need. It's in the back of my mind,will this gun perform properly.

IMHO, no mechanical device is 100% reliable, that's why, to come close to that reliability/confidence, I depend on a revolver and a pump shotgun for home defense. However, if my 9ve was the only gun I had, I would feel very comfortable relying on it for HD.

Question: If you could not get your 9ve to "run" why didn't you send it back to S&W?
 
I think you made a good choice XD is a excellent pistol and probably one of the best in it's class and I own a lot of Smith's

I'm wondering what you did, trying to get it to run?....threats usually don't work....i had best luck with warm cookies and milk....I'm approaching 1500rds now in mine in a few months, works fine, for a piece of junk...i like junk that works perfectly....but that's just me...if i'd had a problem, i would have just kept sending it back until they got it right, which is the entire point of a warranty...a new gun even...an SD...an M&P...a discount on any of the above if they couldn't get it to work, or its replacement.

I love my 9mmve and my 40ve would not trade or sell them for any thing but its each to its own what you like and dislike.:)
 
I agree, I would have kept sending her back until she came back 100%

I have zero patience with whiners who trash a gun, any gun, as junk, without giving the factory a chance of repairing or replacing the gun....two or three failures and/or replacements, and THEN you are qualified to call it junk...

As a professor told me years ago, there are two types of opinions you can have....those you are entitled to, and those your aren't entitled to...

I know in this PC age everyone thinks their opinions are just as valuable as any other, but that is a lie.
 
Not that I'm a sigma fan, but an XD is a cheap gun with great marketing and an inflated price. It was a $2-300 gun when it was the HS2000, then Springfield Armory ( that tries to sound like they are the former US Armory) buys the rights and inflates the price. Still imported from Croatia, but now a bunch more $$.

Just Sayin' ;)
 
amen to that...i will never sell my sigma...even if it fell apart.it just grew on me....
 
right..i wouldnt sell my sw40 either..she has been good to me..approaching 2,000 rounds.
 
That's fine. I don't keep guns that I don't like either. I don't drive cars I don't like, and I don't eat food I don't like. But I also don't assume that just because I don't like something, it's ALL bad for EVERYONE. Some people love to eat peas. Just don't ask me to.

From some of your previous posts alone I would have sent the gun in for inspection and repair or rework. They would have emailed you a prepaid Fed-Ex label for you to ship it at no cost to you besides a box and some packing material. Just so you know next time you buy a S&W.
 
Can't say that I blame you, but I would have gotten it fixed then sold it. I won't keep a gun I have no faith in, even after the factory has had it back 3-5 times and finally fixed a problem that should have kept it from being sent out, thank you Smith & Wesson and Kimber.
This is the way of the modern gun trade though. You buy your pistol, and hope you got one of the good ones, or spend forever trying to get it fixed. This is why I only buy Smiths and Colts from before I was born. Back then the customer wasn't the factories quality control officer.
