Took my Sigma 9VE out for a walk this weekend

[starpower48]

Finally got out to shoot my newest addition. Had a few problems with it. As anitcipated (anticipated is the key word) I had some trouble with the trigger. I found myself pushing forward about where I thought the trigger should break, but it didn't, and I ended up looking like a complete novice with my hands falling forward with no bang. Got to where my first shot was dead on but next was out to the right. For a retired LEO who hasn't shot in over a year, by out to the right I mean rib cage instead of solar plexis. An 8 or 7 on a B-27 target at 15 yds. Well, ok, maybe a few in the elbow.

Also found I couldn't fire it off hand single handed. Sometimes it fired as I relaxed my squeeze. ??? Don't know what's up with that. Too much finger. On a Glock it would probably be the trigger safety resting in the first knuckle notch and not fully retracting.

Fired 100 rounds, Felt ok with it but not in Expert/Master range I had been used to. (With a Sig or 92FS) Probly just need more practice with it. Nudder 1,000 rds or so.

Yup, another 1k at least... they kinda grow on you after the first few hundred rounds, lol

my very first handgun,

the very first semi I've ever even touched, that I got for a Christmas '09 present, I'm 100% in a 4 inch at 25 feet, full 16 in 10 seconds*.

Make of that what you will. I trust the Sigma.

* thanks for the folks here who have offered their years of experience that helped me unlearn bad habits and bolstered my consistency, despite my tennis elbow and weak right eye.
