Round count

[belizeanboy]

I know my question will be a subjective one nevertheless - what is considered a high round count "fired"? 10000, 25000, 50000.... and how much have you sent down your barrel WITH original stock parts and springs?

I'm at 20,500 rounds through my sigma with zero FTF.

Less than 50 rounds downrange with stock springs. I Imediately swapped them out for apex springs and never looked back. I honestly dont understand why S&W makes them with such a heavy trigger, the long pull of the trigger is more than enough safety if that was their goal.

20500 - awesome. That is plenty of rounds and your sigma is still going strong. I guess the heavy triggers has to do with the fact that there isn't any safety or decocker to help prevent accidental fire.

Their "goal" when the SIGMA was first introduced was to make the trigger feel exactly like a Model 64 in double action only in both weight and length of pull. That was because many of the large departments were used to K frames with double action only triggers. They were successful in meeting the goal.

If you want a lighter and shorter trigger pull, more like a Glock, then the M&P is the appropriate pistol.

Too bad for me!

Sniffle. Whimper. A, I have no idea of the round count on any gun that I own. Never occurred to me to do that. B, I have dozens of guns, and have never shot any of them so much that I would be concerned about round count - and more's the pity!!!!

That is a better explanation than the one I had read, which was that they made it heavier and longer pull because of all the ND's Officers were having after going from DA revolvers to the glock pistol, S&W was trying to recapture the police market.

For me I like the long pull that doesn't bother me I think of it as an added safety, however after having a tendon grafted from my left foot into my trigger finger the pull weight is a bit much. Admittedly I am a special case when it comes to that.

As for getting the M&P I am working on that, I have been shopping for a while but when I have the money there's none available and when they are available I don't have the money.
