Hello all i am new to the forum. just bought a new sigma 40 from one of my local gun stores. Been to the range once with it. I was and am very satisfied with my purchase. I need more practice with it, however all the bad news on this gun is strange to me. I had no ftfs or ftes, and the pistol worked flawlessly. I like the robust trigger pull, as i have had a few double action revolvers in my hands over the years from a colt 38 special, colt mod 1878 45 lc, ruger blackhawk 357 and 44 magnums, and a ruger redhawk 45lc. I understand the trigger will smooth out with use anyway. I bought this mainly as a self defense, range, and woods sidearm weapon. Hopefully it will stop a hog down here if i ever have any of em charge me.
