I have a chance to get it real cheap. I'll be the 4 th owner I shot the gun a few days ago. The first time I pulled the trigger it didn't go bang. I did not pull the trigger near hard enough. I do own 4 rifles and three shotguns hunt and shoot all the time. Have owned a couple of hand guns in the past never had the pleasure of pulling the trigger and no bang because I didn't pull the trigger hard enough is this normal and if not what should I check for? I know a couple of the owners and they say it has not been shot a hundred times and nothings been done to it. Small town.

I have the 9VE and the 40VE, while they do have a longer and harder trigger pull, I have yet to have it fail to fire. I have used alot of the cheap ammo to the high dollar +p stuff and that is the one thing that can be said about the Sigma, it should and will alway go bang. I would contact S&W ad see what they say. Also have you already bought it?
No I have not but looks like I will to help a friend out. It does go bang every time you just have to squeeze the trigger way harder than any gun I have shot it may be alright. I just was not prepared for such a hard trigger. And long pull it feels like it starts out normal and gets harder the farther the trigger is pulled.

That's normal for the Sigma.Just feed it any ammo you want and it gets better the more you shoot it. Also,you can dry fire it while watching tv,sitting on the toilet,reading,etc.
If you use a long, slow, deliberate "target" pull, the Sigma's trigger will object to this treatment. It likes one deliberate pull all the way to the rear with no stopping or hesitation. Concentrate on a smooth pull all the way while keeping the front sight on the target. This will take a bit as you use some new muscle combinations, but the Sigma will reward you with decent performance.
If it is still too hard after a few range sessions, call S&W Customer Service and see what they can offer. You are not the original owner, but they may be able to work with you.

I replaced the "Striker Spring" on a 9 mm Sigma pistol last summer, and that gun had a terrible heavy weight of pull, around 16 lbs.
A call to Wolff Gunsprings got the parts we needed for the job.
The spring to replace is up inside the action, surrounded by sleeves of ballistic type plastic.
Care must be taken when disassembling, because those plastic parts are easily damaged if forced.
I went online to YouTube, and found a couple folks had already beaten a path to success, followed their instructions, and We were rewarded with a reasonable 7 lb weight of pull, and reliable primer ignition.
Do Your homework first if attempting to swap springs on the Sigma pistol, and exercise patience.
It's actually quite easy, once You've learned how to disassemble/assemble.
Hope this helps!

Yes I shoot with a slow pull like shooting a rifle nice and smooth I think it is me I was not ready for that kind of pull . I'm going to get it in a couple of weeks clean it good and shoot a lot of rounds through it and see what happens,

Don't waste ammo, mod it or forget it.
Trigger pull
Hey all,

Try this out. Did the mod to SW40VE works great now. Not to mention improved accuracy on the range.

I seen another video on youtube of just removing the outer spring and tossing the cam spring. And that is suppose to be a lighter pull yet, around 6 to 7 pounds. I will give that a try next time on the range.
And post results.

Well I'm about to get the 40VE this week, so yall let new know how it goes. I've heard changing the striker spring causes eject and firing problems? And the other method fails to allow trigger reset after 100 or so rounds .... Anyone care to shed any light on this that has had TRUE success with it please chime in

Vector16 has over 20K rounds thru his Sigma with the trigger mod and says he has had no problems,so far.Do a search using his screen name and you can read his results.
I myself will leave mine just as it is.With over 2500 rounds thru mine the trigger is very smooth and is getting better the more I feed it ammo!

I can't search for some reason. Im mobile and it's not too mobile friendly with those sections. Does he have a write up, or could you possibly post a link to his info
I have left both of mine just the way they were made by S&W and love them. Never had a problem and as Ruger Nut has stated, both of mine have butter smooth triggers and are better everytime I shoot them. I am not sure about the mods, people say that they work and I have no reason to doubt them, but you do have to remember that this pistol was made to be a good SD/HD pistol and not a comp shooter and the trigger pull is the safety. If you are wanting to shot in comps, then the M&P is better, but for the role that it was made, you can not get a better, more reliable pistol. Good luck with your purchase and I hope that you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do.
