...it was FANTASTIC. Last year, when I started looking for an affordable hi-cap 9mm by a reputable name brand, I was told by a couple of gun shops that the Ruger P-95 was head and shoulders above the Sigma...not true at all.
So I bought the Ruger instead of the Sigma, and it IS a bit more refined than the S&W, mostly visually and a little bit mechanically, but I'm just more comfortable with the Sigma. It feels better in my hand (a lot of people say that, I've noticed) but I just mostly prefer a full time DA style trigger pull. I've never liked that floppy travel on a SA trigger that makes you sort of stage the trigger after the first shot.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the Ruger and will keep it...I'm getting better at shooting it with more practice...but I shot the Sigma better right out of the box. For my purposes, it's great. Both guns have proven themselves very reliable so far, with no jams or ftfs yet.
It's weird, I dry fired the Sigma a couple of times, and the trigger didn't feel as refined as the P-95, but when you're ACTUALLY SHOOTING IT, it feels way better, to me anyway.
I just got such a good deal on the Sigma, I figured it would be a second gun to the Ruger, but based on what I've experienced so far, the reverse is definitely true.
It was a good day - I also shot my vintage Model 14 and 36 revolvers for the first time, and they both worked beautifully, too. I love days like that
