Ok guys i've read a lot and have learned a lot about these pistols, but the fact is i still have to ask is this gun worth $250? I came across one that is in great condition and since i have only owned revolvers in the past this would be my first semi-auto. That being said the DA trigger isn't really an issue for me, i actually prefer one since that is what i am used to.

I would just like some honest opinions as far as is it a decent self defense/carry weapon and thanks in advance....

Jump on it for that price. I have had one for nearly three years. No problems, always goes "BANG" when I pull the trigger. It does not have a competition trigger but there is nothing wrong with the trigger for double action only shooting. It is a combat type handgun. I am very happy with mine.
 
Thanks guys for the quick response, I read a lot of bad crap about the gun but after shooting it and checking it out i was thinking wat the *&%# are these people talking about. It feels perfect in my hand and performed well the few times i shot it. I guess i just needed someone other than myself to voice what i was thinking before buying it....
 
Very good pistol. They are almost giving them away. Would be worth $400, no problem.
 
You've got to watch that you aren't comparing oranges to pumpkins. The first several models of the sigmas had problems. They've improved over time. Are they the same as others as we speak - no. They are what they are and they are damn good guns for a reasonable price.
 
I don't know if the Academys in TN are close to you but they have 9VE"s & 40VE's on for $299 and the rebate is still available.
 
It was designed as a combat of defense type weapon and is a great gun for the money. Reliable & inexpensive.
It is not a target pistol. I use mine on the boat so as not to get my Walther rusty.
 
Ditto to all of the above. For self defense weapons, the Sigma is hard to beat in value and function. It is reliable and has lots of firepower. It is not a target or competition design. I don't think it was designed to show off at barbecues. It is made in America by a trusted company and goes BANG every time you pull the manly trigger.

I got mine to keep my Walther's from rattling around in my glove compartment. I've since gained a lot of respect for it's durability and accuracy.

"I don't think it was designed to show off at barbecues." That cracks me up.
 
You'll likely be quite happy with the gun. I'd buy a brand new one if it were me though. They're $299 with a $50 rebate right now at Academy as well as online at Budsgunshop.com. I would not pay $250 for a used sigma since a brand new one is just as inexpensive. Enjoy!
 
I have a sigma 40 and I absolutely love it. Never had any problems at all with it and Ive put around 1000 rounds through it. Like I said, no problems at all.
 
ok since the rebate from S&W has been extended here is the new question.....

buy the sw40v used for total of $250

or

buy the sw40ve new from academy for a total of $280 after taxes and rebate

i guess the real question is is the "ve" all that different or better than the "v" version for what i am using it for?

Don't forget shipping and FFL fees.
 
I shoot my SW9VE in competition every week. We have a bowling pin shoot and I average about 4.23 seconds per round (5 pins per round). I have had no mods done to the gun. I also use it in am urban shoot twice a year and have had great success with it there also. I put the GLOCK PEOPLE to shame every week, and love every second of it. You cant beat the price or quality of S&W. BE safe and continue shooting everyone!!!
