I bought my Sigma over a G anything because of price. I have and had the bucks to buy the G. But the grip is awesome on the Sigma. I have biggish mits and it worked well. Even with my biggish hands the G's feel like a 2x4 on a 1x1 in my hand. Nothing natural about them. The trigger was utter crap on my pistol. I fixed it.Is it a tack driver in my hands???? NO. Is it the pistol or me? It's both! But for the money I paid for mine after rebate,,, $ for $ there is nothing out there that compete! It field strips easy. It cleans up like a charm and goes back together in nothing flat. With a tad of simple polishing on the barrel its a joy to look at. As a matter of fact. I have used the barrel of the Sigma to show folks what a great looking barrel should look like dirty and cleaned. While I'm not a LRN shooter. I have shot some through the pistol. Barrel cleaned right up.
Also as a reloader I enjoy having the Sigma around. I have put some pretty major reloads through it. No issues what so ever. Brass always comes out uniform and ready for the next reload. I pick up all brass at my range. I can tell when its G fired brass. That I take pliers to and recycle.
My Sigma is NOT my main HD weapon anymore. The duty has been put on my CZ-52. It is a tack driver with a great trigger. And with Wolf Gold HP's in it. It is way deadly.
Mine out of the box in my hands shot high right. After the trigger work I'm low left. Bottom line I think I'm having memory muscle problems concerning it. The barrel is round and the bore is beautiful!
The Sigma is a hell of a deal at $300 or under! Throw in the rebate and it is the best deal on the market right now be it 9mm or .40. I plan on buying .40 even though I don't like the round.
To date I have bought 2 ea. 9mm and 1 ea. .40. I cleaned up and modded one of the 9's and the 40's and resold them with paper and made a few bucks.
I have put well over 2k rounds through my Sigma. While I can get it on paper it seems to shine for me when plinking. It plays well with me. It hasn't met a coke can that it can't kill.
Glock,,,, naw for the money and few short coming Sigma has, verses some of G's short comings in my hand. Sigma 1,,,, G, 0. The CZ-52 is a 10!!! And it cost me nothing.
I really should have not posted this.
To complicate things I'm looking for a quick lite pistol carbine survive case of weapon and ammo. A small package and large ammo load. My gut is telling me a Kel-tec SUB 2k in G 9mm with a G-19 and mags in a nice hard case. I could do a S&W .40 package. But it seems much more complex. With over all bad mag selection. The reality is ,,, the pistol is a good 25 yard weapon. The fold up plastic carbine is a solid 7 yard weapon if not a 100 yard,,, I can kill you or your be eating dirt! In this mode of operation the G platform is better than the S&W.
I honestly don't mean to muddy the water here. But one might want to think combo here. And honestly,,,, With combo I would have to leave S&W over all. Think about it! 44 mag is my fav. round. If I went out today and purchased a .44 mag combo it would be from Ruger. Or I would split up a .357, .40 or maybe a 9mm. Or how about some of the Beretta offerings?
And lest we not talk about Hi-Point. What ground does a person have to stand on high ground concerning a cheap,,, works for them Hi? One of my buddy's has a 9mm Hi and it's a brick of never fail fire power. He is going to by a carbine from them for a third what a Sigma cost. And they have the same warranty???? Screw the G,,,, What about Hi or Kel-Tec, or other company's.
Think about it: Is the Sigma while cheap and a good pistol. Can you expand in it?
