I've used the Monarch brass and it's the only ammo my 9VE had problems with. I'd recommend searching Walmart for Federal, they usually want ~ 10 bucks a box for it. If not, Win white box. If you're going to shoot it a bunch or just want to have a decent ammo stock, buy bulk online. JMO
Ivo was slightly before my time, never got to see him run.
I used to about live at OCIR when I was stationed in SoCal, heard he was going to run there at the end of his farewell tour, 1982 World Finals. But unforeseen events resulted in me being sent over seas in July... I missed quite the final performance from what my buddies told me when I got back.
Enjoy your Sigma's maiden voyage, come back with a range report.
i usually use winchester white box in my sw9ve but i bought some of the monarch steel @ academy & i have never had 1 problem with this gun eating anything i put in it.it is simply amazing.still have some that turn their nose up when they find out what pistol i am shooting but..great gun
I own a sw9ve aswell it eats everything, even dirty ****. Even terds, it eats mc donalds when it shouldnt late at night and it eats hari krishnas vegitarian delites. If it was made the sigma 9 eats it. Honestly. The gun goes bang everytime. Unless ofcourse you have messed it up with re-assembly.
