I am so disapointed.

[CajunBass]

I took my Sigma to the range for the first time in a long while today. Well, the first time I've ever actually taken it to a range. All the other shooting I've done with it was plinking cans and such.

Even though I was shooting a box of my own reloads, one of the first boxes of 9mm ammo I'd reloaded, that silly gun just worked like a champ. Not one malfunction. I even managed to hit the target a time or two, which if you know me you'd realize what a surprise that is. Shoot. I didn't even pull my finger out of joint pulling the trigger.

Now what am I going to gripe about in the "I hate Sigma's" threads?

Or ultra compact. Like the new ruger LC9

 

[leejack]

I think the only complaint is that it's made in the USA! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took my 9wve to range shot 100rounds and the pin that holds trigger in was backing out. Put 50more and the trigger felt loose to me.probably needs to be staked in, but I traded if in on a Taurus millennia.

My 40VE works like a champ with anything I feed it.& didn't cost an arm & leg. Made by Smith & Wesson in the good old USA by American workers. What am I doing wrong?? What's wrong with the pistol? Who at S&W do I contact? Which forum do I go on to complain loudly? I was told by many that the Sigma was junk. Where can I find those people to thank them for setting me straight? Even the trigger feels good after dry firing & shooting some rounds downrange. Something isn't right!

If that pin backs out on the Sigma, the pin is installed backwards.

 

[Coaltminer]

I had a Sigma 9 that I put 2,000 flawless rds. of my reloads thru. Sold it for something else, but I had no complaints!

 

[timby]

I've put nealry 500 rnds through mine & other than the trigger I have no complaints. Shoots well & well worth the price. I too wish they had a sub-compact as I'm looking for a good CCW...

 

[a62rambler]

You can complain about customer service. I know you haven't used it but the people who complain about Sigmas haven't use one either. !

My first handgun was the SD40VE and I've had no real problems with it. Got a used Taurus Millennium and problems with the trigger safety engaging when it shouldn't have been. Removed the trigger safety and haven't had a problem since. I'll still take the made in the USA S&W over the made in Brazil Taurus.

Later,
Hock

Well, you cant brag to the other Mall Ninjas about how much you spent and how smart that makes you. I qualified for my CHL with my Sigma. Another shooter showed up with a $1,000 plus custom 1911. My Sigma performed flawlessly and I shot 49 out of 50. His custom 1911 choked so badly he could not finish. I had an extra box of ammo and loaned him my Sigma and the ammo and he finished the course.

 

[deanodog]

Complain that they don't have one in 45 ACP.

 

[mgrandick]

I sold dozens of them when I worked at Bass Pro if they weren't any good you'd think the word would get out.

I had a SW40VE it was a solid gun never any trouble I just did not like that funny trigger.

 

[rodbilyeu]

Love My SW40VE trigger and all one wish would be one in black so I could have two and be able to tell them apart

I'm sorry for your suffering.

However, if you start messing with it like many of the kitchen table gunsmiths by trying to put in new action parts (APEX or perhaps others), taking out springs and other parts S&W thought necessary to the design (those silly gun designers at S&W), and maybe do some of your own modifications, you too can have an unreliable SIGMA and come on here and complain bitterly about how S&W will not fix your gun for free or turn it into a Performance Center match gun for $50.00 with free shipping.

Hey, now...you'd be ruining my side business of buying these "junk Sigmas" and repairing them, then reselling them for a small profit!

My latest acquisition is a SW9VE that includes a homemade take down plate that sticks, ball point pen spring, and a botched polish job. I actually traded a Mossberg 702 Plinkster for it...and I only paid $79 for the Mossberg a few years ago for my son. The boy has since been upgraded to a Ruger 10/22.

I think I have enough spare parts in the shop for it, including the TD plate from when I changed mine for a wider one.

When done, I should have no problem getting $275 or more.
