Hey guys, just joined the other day. My names Billy, from Hamden, CT. A couple months after my 21st birthday, in June, I applied for my CCW permit. Got it a week ago. I joined these forums hoping to find out more about the S&W Sigma. I was researching online about the sigma, because of it's cheaper price, as well as the Ruger P95. I read all about them, as much as I could, and found they had very similar reviews. I went to my local shop to hold and feel them, and decided on the Sigma (the rebate helped my choice needless to say). This is my first gun. I have yet to shoot it, just bought it yesterday morning. I bought a cleaning kit, a box of ammo, and a holster for it. I haven't sent in the rebate yet, I am still debating on what to do with it.

I am pretty excited to eventually make it to a range to test it out. I cleaned the gun today, because I did not want to shoot it before it was cleaned. I have read reviews and it seems everyone is having flawless performance from their Sigmas, and I am pretty nervous that mine may not be that great, (but hoping it will be). A quick question I have is that I got the 9mm model, and it says 9mm luger. Is there a difference in 9mm when it comes to luger? Are there other types of 9mm? I am hoping the box I got is considered luger, I will have to check before I go shooting. Anyways I am looking forward to learning about guns here. I am also nervous that I may have somehow not cleaned the gun right, since I am a newb. I used the break free oil alone, because it says it is a cleaner and a lube. I figure it is all in one, am I wrong? Thanks for your time guys, sorry I wrote a book.

Congrats and welcome! I am from NY and I also hold a Non-Resident CT Pistol Permit.

The paperwork and processing times for a CT permit are reasonable when compared to the Politburo Style of Politics of new yorK state.

Here is an example of Political Intrusion and Seizure of Liberty: References have to provide Social Security numbers on to the applicant.

How utterly stupid and insane. The only reason is to discourage applicants.
 
Welcome from Northwest Georgia! Glad to have you here.

Your ammo is fine and yuor choice of cleaners is good too. I use Breakfree CLP on most of mine.

Since you're new to firearms and shooting I'd suggest you find an old-timer to go with you the first time just to make you feel better. After that you'll feel much more confident in your abilities.

Congratulations, enjoy, and be safe!
 
Welcome from Texas Billy. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.

There is no difference between 9mm and 9mm Luger. It is also called 9mm parabellum (to prepare for war).
