Need Opinions

[longgun]

Thank you guys. The information I'm getting y'all is exactly what I was looking for. I was already partially sold on the sigma due to the ergonimics and weight. I'm used to a hair trigger because I've tweaked my rifle for long range accuracy; however, I'm not looking for an extraordinarily light trigger in a ccw for the simple reason (and I may be a fool for it) that if I'm ever in the position to need it I want to have to pull the trigger. That may not make sense but I take ccw very seriously. That being said I think I may be sold on SW40VE.

For the stated reason, you made a wise choice.

If you get it, let us know.

The trigger thing is way over blown on the internet.

With regular practice, it should be a non issue, it doesn't bother me a bit.

If you buy a used one, make sure that some weekend gunsmith didn't fiddle with the trigger/fire control mechanism.

My used 9ve and 40ve were never messed with and I'm happier for that.

I agree. I decided to use my SW40F for concealed carry qualifying. The actual shooting is not difficult, you must put holes in a sheet of plain letter paper

In one of the drills they used the 'clothesline' to move the paper in and out. When it moves in toward you, shoot until the paper stops or your gun is empty. When the paper stops, cover the target, and if it runs inward toward you again, resume shooting but if it runs away, do not shoot. This added quite a bit of excitement and adrenaline from a relatively small amount of stress.

I honestly could not tell you anything about the trigger pull. It simply was not important to what I was doing, since I had to watch the paper and react. When I needed to shoot, it went bang.

Long, hard, gritty trigger pull? Terrible trigger? Crappy trigger? I dunno, it worked fine for me and I never noticed any of the 'finer' points that seem to be so important that they are endlessly debated...

Amen to that.

I know this thread is almost done but I would just like to add.
my first semi auto was a sigma.. 12lb trigger, no bells or whistles. straight forward beginner auto loader.
when acquiring my second gun I felt the differences in the trigger/ action and all the other bells n whistles.

the sigma is great for breaking into the handgun world. it lets you appreciate the simple things in life while giving you a benchmark to compare future pieces to.
if this isn't your particular cup of tea, go with the sd or m&P id go m&p if I had it to do over again. but then, i wouldn't be able to fully appreciate all that it had to offer.

oh and as for the trigger, some adapt and become better marksmen, others trade it in immediately.
but that was my first trigger I pulled, and It didn't even bother me.
