Well seeing the pistol is near worthless if you paid anything close to retail. I have not a clue what mags are worth for it. If one pays over $200 for one after rebate they got owned. It's a pig's ear wanting to be a silk purse. And it can be a silk purse, but it takes some work.....

Good luck with the mag's.

Hello all

... installed a lighter outer spring below the shear...

Can you tell me a little more about what you used to replace the outer spring?


I removed the pigtail spring on mine today and wasn't that impressed with the perceived change due that change alone.

I used a spring out of a old bic mech. pencil. It is a tad shorter and lighter.

Here is a vid. link: YouTube - Sigma 9mm, Part 3, Turning a pigs ear into a silk purse

I took it to the range yesterday. With another 200 rounds down the pipe all is well. Heck I might go again today.

FYI...

Regarding Frank Smith, the Texas S&W Authorized Factory Center Gunsmith doing the free trigger clean-up jobs. As of TODAY, 11/13/09, he IS NOT doing them! Apparently, someone posted his or S&W's FEDEX account number (S&W paid for the 2 day shipping) on some gun forums and they had to shut down the account! He said today that it would be approx 2 weeks until he has the new account info. He is UNSURE if he can continue doing what he's been doing due to this!

I called Bolsa Gunsmithing (another S&W Authorized Service Center) which happens to be 4 miles from where I live in So. Cal. They said it WAS NOT covered under warranty, and that they charged $65 for a "trigger job" on a Sigma with a 2 week turnaround time. I brought up Frank and they said that they heard he and S&W was doing them under warranty.

So, I called S&W Factory - they said, "NO WAY" is an "action job" covered under warranty! The Sigma comes with a 10 lb. trigger pull. And IF Frank is doing them as a warranty repair, then we may have to have a talk with him!

So, it looks as though someone really screwed things up for Sigma owners wanting to get a FREE "factory trigger job"!

I heard some KNUCKLEHEAD called Smith & Wesson and told them that Frank Smith was doing action jobs under waranty . . . probably because his local S&W Authorized Service Center wanted to charge him a very reasonable $65 for an action/trigger job

Rick-F: More like "because my local Service Center told me they didn't consider it a warranty repair and that S&W would do it under factory warranty".

Frank personally told me that HE is UNSURE if he can continue doing what he's been doing due to this! (Bingo, the jig is up!)

Also, for what it's worth, I got the distinct impression that S&W was already aware of the situation - probably due to the FEDEX account number being posted on the internet and the growing number of posts about Frank and LSG!

It's been posted all over the internet, just do a Google search for "Sigma trigger jobs" and you'll see! Are you really that niave to think that people from S&W Corporate don't do searchs and read the gun forums?

+1 on KNUCKLEHEAD

How much do you want for them?
I'd be interested if the price is right.

Mags cost me about $50 at a local gunshop in Fredericksburg VA. Probably more closer to large population centers.
