New sigma owner question

[TVTOMMY]

Bought a sigma 9mm , and want to know if it will digest monarch steel ammo ok, it's on sale at academy .

Welcome to the forum!

I never use Monarch but I'm sure others have.

Enjoy your sigma.

Any relation to TV Tommy Ivo??? Welcome aboard.

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

No relation, just a fan /surfer/racer same time peroid also,same initials.
You're probably showing your age by getting the reference

Thanks for info on ammo, I picked up some winchester white box, hope to try it out , tomorrow.

I've put wolf ammo through mine with out no problems.

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'm a Federal guy. All I've put through my Sigma. Pick up my XD 9 Compact Springfield Armory tomorrow.

Good luck with the XD; if it's anything like my XDm .45, you'll be grinning a lot next time you go to the range.

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.
