Well, u get what u pay for. Not saying the sigma is bad, but I am sayin the Glock is better. If ur low on cash, go sigma. I would save for Glock. Yes, Glock sued s&w for the sigmas design.
@gwap4008 There are alot of pistols you can choose from with that budget. The Xd line up is actually a pretty good choice, I personally prefer a Sig sp2022, for the money you can't beat it
just baught one, one hour later, i sold it. looks nice but even with the trigger mod it'll still pretty bad. I took out the pig tail and the outer spring on the sear but still is a heavy heavy trigger. Ended up polishing it as well. At least i didn't lose money as i had zero rounds down pipe.
@crankster87 I hate retards like you that insults another members. It's called dry fire drills dumbass!! This gun was sold to a friend and I have personally shot 1,500rds so far through the pistol. READ my comment carefully, it says heavy trigger pull that's how i know. Learn how to read before you bash on someone dumbass.
Ive had this gun in a .40 for over a year great gun I recently upgraded to a m&p .45c for concealed carry of course I like the m&p much better but the sigma is a great gun at a great price I will never let mine go and would recommend it to anyone
I know this video is a bit old but as someone who owns both a glock 23 and a SW40VE I would have to go with the glock. I thought the smith was a great gun until I bought my glock. I thought I liked the trigger pull myself but once I got used to my glock I am actually amazed how I was able to deal with that massive trigger pull. My glock seems to fit my hands allot better, hits on target better, and is compatible with hi cap mags.
The Sigma, no contest. Awesome gun, far better if you have wide hands, like I do. I have always had bad luck with glocks skinning my thumbs. The Glock 40 was the worst, the 32 was almost as bad. My brother and I both have one, and, since you mentioned it, by brother had the trigger reduced to a 7 lb trigger i believe for about 40$
I have had the sigma 9mm for around 2 months now and love it,Both the 9 and the 40 have the 9.25 lbs of trigger pull,there are 3 How to videos on this site to make it a 4 lbs trigger pull without spending a dime.Might want to look into it.As far as the drop....I have not seen that what so ever,If you are lining the sites up strait across you are shooting this gun wrong.Split the front site in half for a strait shot.Its a great gun with many attachments,Get the gun and spend half as much bro.
i got the sigma 9mm and i dont know if its the trigger pull or what, but it shoots low as hell. i have tried other guns like the springfield XD and i am accurate, but this sigma seems jacked up.
you can lighten the trigger pull you self by half its easy i have a sigma 40 and im lefty works great i put over 1000 rounds with no jams ftf or missfires i like it for 300 you cant beet it
ya man i just bought the sigma about a week ago and sofar i love it very good price for it, love it carry it everwhere i really think u should get it and maybe later ya go for a glock
Put an pac-meyr grip on that and you will be like wow! Yes these are glock like clones! I have owned a Sigma 1st edition ones from 1994, and it still is a fantastic pistol! Only had to change a slide spring once after 20,000 rounds. The trigger pull is heavy for a safety reason. It is it's safety! Glocks on the other hand..... Well more probabilty of accidental discharge beacause of their trigger pull system! Great review!
I own one of these and it's not bad for the price. I would go with the Glock 23. I shoot much better with the Glock. Long trigger pulls just mess me up :(
I have a S&W Sigma 9mm, great pistol. I don't think the trigger pull is as bad as some say, it's just a matter of getting use to it, I have. As for concealed carry, it would be very easy to conceal it if you're wearing a coat or light jacket. It's a great buy for the money!
So for $299.00 it's a decent gun, however, you say you are looking at it as a ccw option because it's cheap. Before I go on I should clear up that I do own and am fairly happy with this piece. First of all, you really should at least shoot a glock before you say "it's pretty much just like a glock." I also own a glock 23 and there is a huge difference! The sigma is not even close. Second of all, the sigma is way way to bulky and heavy for a concealed carry weapon. Of course, that is MY OPIN
i own one of these too and i love it. i dont mind the trigger pull i think it makes you a better marksman, as for the glock it is a great gun as well but the unsuported 6 oclock position is the only reason i dont own one. the sigma works great with any ammuniton as well.
I'm sure it gets the job done, but I'm sticking with Glock. If my Glock was run over by a car, I wouldnt worry about it still shooting like I would with this piece.
My Dad just gave me one of these out of the blue about 3 hours ago for no particular reason, it was weird and awesome at the same time. Looking forward to shooting it
i have both the 9mm and .40cal sigmas and love them.i did work the trigger assemblies on both to make them feel better.polishing gets rid of the "gritty" feeling.
where did u get that holster???? you say its your brothers than please find out where he got it? i just bought this gun and it is amazing and i love it and i need a good holster for concealed carry!!! cant find anything that i like!
@Hoodhitta yes everyone knows that your nigga mikey has one. you've posted in in other videos like we know who the hell "mikey" is or like we care that he got one.
The Glock lawsuit against S&W regarding the trigger had to do with a mechanism inside the trigger assembly and a spring with coils added to the S&W to enduce a heavier trigger pull, but it can easily be modified to pull more like a glock, just as it is stocked it has to be done for legal reasons
i personally like the heavy trigger pull. i have a paintball marker with a heavy trigger pull, so im used to it. i got no problems what so ever with it.
If you are dis satisfied with the heavy trigger pull on your S&W sigma series, you can reduce it yourself. There are videos here on YouTube to tell you how. It's very simple and worth the effort!!!!!
Sigma is the best gun out. glocks have a lighter trigger thats it. to me its too light. Sigma never jam never. glock jams a lot.Stop saying its just like a glock its more of an upgrade.
the sigma doesnt have 2 loaded chamber indicaters. Just the peep whole on the top. The thing on the side is just the extracter. Unless mine is defective.
I actually own both of these weapons and I agree the Sig does have a very trigger pull which I dislike but I recently also purchased a Glock and Love it much lighter trigger pull but both weapons are very dependable have not had issue with either one. I also suggest to look at the Taurus 24 7 series also a very nice weapon.
I just sold my SW40VE and bought a Springfield XD(M) Compact 9mm. I liked the Smith and Wesson very much. It was my first pistol. One of the reasons I changed was because I was finally able to afford the Springfield. I went with the 9 because ammo is cheaper and I think 9mm is fun to shoot. I went with the compact model because it will be my CCW. The Sigma was a great gun and will be missed but I'm glad to finally have the Springfield I've been wanting.
I'm a big guy with big hands too. Was at Gander Mountain to look at the S&W 9MM & 40 since they are on sale with LaserLyte sight. It is cheaper than a Glock by at least $100 and looking to get my first CCW. I probably will get the S&W 9MM since the ammo is cheaper than the 40. Maybe later will pay more for a Glock but for now will go for a good gun at a cheaper price.
I want to tell you I have shot Glock and I have shot this S&W 40 and I can tell you I rather this S&W for I have big hands too and so I bought this S&W for it felt better in my hands but I can tell you this and your brother may too it's all how it feels to you any gun and I mean any gun the does not feel wright you donot go with reguardless the NAME for out of all guns I have held this S&W was the wright one that felt the best so go with what you feel you like holding in your hands.
i had the sw40ve(used) for less then 2weeks. i'm not a fan of the 40 round (over penetration&slower double taps&don't want a gun to over power my wife if needed to shoot it). The sigma s&w was 100% at the range (rapid fire 150rounds) . all that said i'm ordering the sw9ve. the only problems with the gun to me is the accessory rail & hard to find the black slide (i like the all black look). i recommend the gun reliable&cheap sw9ve or sw40ve shooter preference
I have the exact pistol in 9mm. I am glad I bought it, it has worked very well for me. Many, many rounds through it. Surprisingly never has jammed, or malfunctioned on me. Great quality, and worth the cost. I recommend it, better price than glock and same reliability. Just my two cents.
Hi Darvin, I must say this S&W you have is the very best for the price... I have the 9mm and the 40 cal. and I would not spend the money for a Glock when I can get both guns for the price of the Glock. Very Good Choice.
I have an S&W9VE and i love it. its one of the nicest feel guns ive shot.. same gun in 9mm. I would recommend it to any one who carries cocealed. it feels nice in hand and in holster. i like the trigger pull. it makes up for the lack of manual safety.
5:59 i got cheated. Everyone I know got that same box with their S&W. When I bought my S&W 40, i got a cheap cardboard box with mine so I had to actually buy a gun case.
Oh, and North and South American were already occupied, they weren't vacant. Dumbass. The Vikings landed in North American prior to 1492 and there have been Amerindians here since the last ice age. I guess they're not white, so they don't count to you and your high moral standards.
AMerica`s been FOUND. You fucking american idiot don`t even know what the verb "to find" means in this context! It means to make the rest of the world aware of the existence of America! IDIOT!
@ThreeLions89 Before you call me an idiot, look at your own wording. "America's been found in 1492". That's an absolutely atrocious sentence. It's hard to tell where you were going with that shit pile. Found can be a verb for 'to find' but can also be a verb for 'to establish'. The latter definition actually works better in your horrible sentence structure. You find you car keys, you discover a continent. Dumbfuck.
@ThreeLions89 The United States was founded in 1492? Jesus, I wasn't aware that my country was that old... 1776, genius. War ended in 1783. Even if we are to only include the wars fought since 1776, Europeans are responsible for a lot more suffering, death, and destruction than the United States is. So much for your high moral standards.
@Tomylonely Oh, I'm quite aware of that. That doesn't change the fact that there have been multiple genocides in Europe in the last century. Even the 'American' holocaust was started by Europeans. You don't know shit.
As is the case with slavery. It existed before the United States. The European powers, namely Britain, didn't want slavery all that much at home but they sure did desire it in the colonies. The last time there were slaves in the United States was the 1860s. The last time there were slaves in Europe was the 1940s.
In case you've haven't made a decision...get the Glock. The Sigma is a terrible pistol. Smith and Wesson basically learned what not to do with it. Then they built the M&P series, which is very good. Trying to decide between a Glock and an M&P comes down to personal preference. They're both very good.
@ThreeLions89 DAVINDAGREEK handled his gun good and just cause there are a few gun carrying rednecks don't put us all in the same group, just cause we are allowed to carry guns doesn't make us violent or ignorant, 90 % of CCW gun carriers are good people, and you calling him an "American Idiot" do you not see how ignorant you look to? your the same as him.
oh and is glocks polymer frame really that much more expensive to make? Are the guts really that much more costly to make? Fuck no. Its a rip. The sigmas price point proves that. Why get a used police trade in? Get a new sigma with2 mags plz man. Dont fall 4 the hype. Its almost worst than lebron james hype. Haha. No ring 4 his ass. No glock for me
@tylormurphy Yeah, but the Glocks aren't pieces of shit. Smith sells the Sigmas cheap because they want rid of them, they're at least making little profit from their sale and likely taking a loss. Look how much an M&P costs. Glocks are so far superior to the Sigma, it's not even a question that needs to be asked 'which is better'. Everyone should know by now.
u act like glock hasnt copied any other brands ideas. they all copy each other. all mighty glock is just the most original most reliable thing smokin. miss me with that shit. all gun makers these days have copied another somewhere down the line. somethin minor or major. u do your homework on that1
I would look at one of the Glock 22 or 23 police trade ins.They can be found for around $300 to $350 easy and typically have low round counts and minimal holster wear.Personally I would stick w/ a 9mm as they are cheaper to shoot and train w/ and just as effective as a .40.
im with the 2sigmas over 1glock any day. this gun shows glock is a rip off. oh and black ppl do own guns too and legally. so miss me wit that nonsense haters. get two sigmas if u got glock money. .40s&w and .9mm
@tylormurphy This gun shows glock is a rip off?You do realize S&W stole the design from Glock and was sued by Glock and lost right?The Sigma's a decent gun,but do some research and you'll find that there is no comparing the two.Especially as far as reliability goes.
@theguyyouwannabe99 atleast he is responsible its not about race im white and i think he did a great review we need more responsible and educated black people like this guy
I do like this weapon. I use it on duty as well. Very very accurate and take down is very simple. The trigger pull is not too bad, once you get use to it. GREAT WEAPON !
I bought the Sigma40VE. I personally LOVE this weapon. It does slightly resemble a Glock, But its almost the same money for about half the price. If anyone else is like me who had a strict budget, I would go SIGMA hands down. I like GLOCK and in time I will own one. By all means this is my duty weapon for work and my CCW. GET THE SIGMA!!! Great video btw.
@HollowPointzz it is not a knock off. the weapon is well made but the trigger needs some work(heavy trigger pull). there are some videos that show how to do these small fixes and make the weapon more friendly to fire.the sigma is much more affordable than the glock and i think it just feels better in hand. i had a glock 17(9mm) and have my sigma 9mm and like the sigma much more than the glock.
There is no difference but the trigger pull,but when you need to shoot its gon shoot and never jam up ever,i got the same smith'n and had mines 6 years
to all the people crying about the smith&wesson simga 9pound trigger. it work as the safety to just to let you know. and it has a hole in the top of it so you can see if a round is in the gun. dose glock have that. i think not
Great video I have a sigma .40 cal. and I love it. It is a very accurate gun and I shoot it well. It is an awesome deal for the money. Great vid just subbed.
well...when it comes to the trigger pull. its like that because it has no external safety that other pistols had. the trigger pull is the only thing stomping it from misfiring.
i had this weapon in the 9mm. it is a very reliable, if you like the long trigger pull. would not suggest use a Fobus holster tho. i used mine for my edc and the fobus scratched up the finish on the slide. id go with some type of leather holster as oppose to a hard plastic holster.
you probably already bought one but i think you should get a sig sauer p226. they arent cheap but they are under $1000 and its one of the best guns ive shot
Actually the sigma series was built to replace the law enforcement revolvers that being the reason for the long, heavy trigger pull is to resemble that of a revolver. I just got my sigma .40 cal yeaterday and i love it.
I say, in time, get both. I have both. Two Glocks and the Sigma 9mm. I took the butterfly spring out of the trigger mechanism and did some dremmel polishing of the trigger parts and brought the pull down to about 6 and a half pounds. When you pull the trigger, just one single pull back motion until it releases. The Sigma...what an outstanding weapon. My Glock 20, 10mm I've got the trigger pull down to 3 pounds. Sweet. But I'll never sell or trade my Sigma, I love it!
i'm torn between getting a SW40VE or a Glock 23 as my cc sidearm. .... has anyone shot both of them and comment on the action/recoil and weight and trigger actuation force? i'm sure i'm getting a .40 so it comes down to these two. thanks!
@torontothegood I own both of the guns, and I prefer the Glock. The only differece (like this video mentions) is the horrible trigger pull on the Sigma. The Glock has a 5 pound trigger pull, while the Sigma has a 9 pound pull. The Sigma has a gritty feal to the trigger, but if your in the moment in self defence you would not even notice. The Glock also has tons of accesories on a lot of different sites which is great, but Glocks are $550 while the Sigma is only $300. Go rent them, and try em out
i just bought one of those sw40ve's and i like it better then the glocks, not just becouse cheaper. i think it fits my hand better as well......i have big hands too.
I just bought this gun and I have shot about 300 rounds and had not one jam. Over all this is a very good gun. I also like the 9lb pull on the trigger. That is the safety for the gun.
Another thing is I dont think you have to send the spent casing in for anything. That just let's you know it's been fired so they have a case to compare the rounds with if anything ever happened so they can accurately identify the gun.
@Commrcldiver lol, and a fat lot of good it does. I forget which state just had a report come out showing it has spent millions of taxpayer dollars on that crap and has never solved a single crime with it.
The reason they made the trigger so heavy which im sure you know is 1) to get out of a lawsuit with glock (which you mentioned) and 2) Because the gun has no external safety. So they did it to help prevent any accidental discharges. Very nice video though. Great gun. I bought mine for my 21st bday
your right.apart of the lawsuit and settlement they had to add a heavy trigger pull and other small mods like the rail change.your right.if you need a safety then you don't need a pistol.i carry my glock everyday with one in the chamber.the only reason i wouldn't keep the gun loaded with one in the chamber was if i was home with children around.i would keep the mag in my pocket or in another area from the gun.
DavinDaGeek, I own a S&W Sigma SW40VE and I can tell you first hand, it isn't a piece of garbage like many would have you believe. If you can get used to the trigger pull, then it'll be just fine. I have had absolutely no issues with mine whatsoever. If you are looking for a basic, polymer frame handgun(Home Defense/Vehicle Defense), the Sigma is worth the money. If you want something that can be modded, by all means go with the Glock. They have a whole lot of aftermarket accessories for them.
@SergeantZippo go see how many competitors use a sigma. None if they know any better. Your comment about Glock not feeding reloads in rediculous. I bet I expend more ammo in three weeks than you do in a year, and 90 per cent of what I shoot are cast lead reloads because of cost. There is no comparison between Glock and S&W's bastard mistake..... If you gotta have a S&W and it has to be polymer go with a M&P. Don't stake your life on a substandard handgun.
@1911competitor Last I checked we weren't even talking about shooting competitions, so you can no step down off of your high horse. As for the remark about the reloads, that is my mistake. What I meant to say was that Glock doesn't want it's end users using reloaded ammunition because of the partially supported factory barrel and the possiblity of having a cartridge malfunction(I.E.: split, crack, etc.) and cause a catastrophic failure.
@1911competitor Furthermore, you have no idea how much I shoot, so I certainly wouldn't go betting on that. There is a 50% chance that you may win or lose, which are not good odds. Another thing you should take in account is that the Sigma was S&W's first polymer offering, which was patterned after a Glock, which caused them to be sued. The Sigma is what it is. It may not be to "Oh so sacred & Holy" Glock standards, but it sure as hell isn't substandard.
A trash gun vie owned both guns and no it's not because of the law suit it's be use of the no safety.they put a heavy spring to make up for the safety.
the law suet did happen, and i have shot the sigma and a glock, i hated the sigma expesaly the triggeer pull, and the grip, for some reason a glock feals beter to me, and their more reliyable. if you git a glock make sure to get the gen 4 if you can, becouse they emproved perfecton with the new reversable mag release, the new recoil spring, and the new enterchangable back straps.
So did you buy a Sigma or a Glock? I have the Sigma 40 and have had good luck with it. I think the bad reviews come form the earlier models and most don't care for the heavy trigger pull. I too love the way the Sigma feels in my hand, fits perfectly. Had it for about a year now and I love the thing. Shot a Glock just a few times years ago so can't really compare the two. For the money the Sigma is awesome. I may get the 9mm in the future.
I have both the Glock and the Sigma... They are both great weapons and personally I feel the Sigma is a hybrid between the new M&P (trigger but slightly heavier) and the Glock (functionality). Considering both the Glock and the Sigma have performed great, I would go with the Sigma if that is what your heart is set on. You save some money as well and put that change towards ammo and holster. :)
i got the sigma 9mm. did a trigger mod and that shit is smooth as a pimps backhand.

The Glock lawsuit against S&W regarding the trigger had to do with a mechanism inside the trigger assembly and a spring with coils added to the S&W to enduce a heavier trigger pull, but it can easily be modified to pull more like a glock, just as it is stocked it has to be done for legal reasons

If you are dis satisfied with the heavy trigger pull on your S&W sigma series, you can reduce it yourself. There are videos here on YouTube to tell you how. It's very simple and worth the effort!!!!!

I actually own both of these weapons and I agree the Sig does have a very trigger pull which I dislike but I recently also purchased a Glock and Love it much lighter trigger pull but both weapons are very dependable have not had issue with either one. I also suggest to look at the Taurus 24 7 series also a very nice weapon.

I just sold my SW40VE and bought a Springfield XD(M) Compact 9mm. I liked the Smith and Wesson very much. It was my first pistol. One of the reasons I changed was because I was finally able to afford the Springfield. I went with the 9 because ammo is cheaper and I think 9mm is fun to shoot. I went with the compact model because it will be my CCW. The Sigma was a great gun and will be missed but I'm glad to finally have the Springfield I've been wanting.

It is cheaper than a Glock by at least $100 and looking to get my first CCW. I probably will get the S&W 9MM since the ammo is cheaper than the 40. Maybe later will pay more for a Glock but for now will go for a good gun at a cheaper price.

i had the sw40ve(used) for less then 2weeks. i'm not a fan of the 40 round (over penetration&slower double taps&don't want a gun to over power my wife if needed to shoot it). The sigma s&w was 100% at the range (rapid fire 150rounds) . all that said i'm ordering the sw9ve. the only problems with the gun to me is the accessory rail & hard to find the black slide (i like the all black look). i recommend the gun reliable&cheap sw9ve or sw40ve shooter preference

@ThreeLions89 Before you call me an idiot, look at your own wording. "America's been found in 1492". That's an absolutely atrocious sentence. It's hard to tell where you were going with that shit pile. Found can be a verb for 'to find' but can also be a verb for 'to establish'. The latter definition actually works better in your horrible sentence structure. You find you car keys, you discover a continent. Dumbfuck.

@ThreeLions89 The United States was founded in 1492? Jesus, I wasn't aware that my country was that old... 1776, genius. War ended in 1783. Even if we are to only include the wars fought since 1776, Europeans are responsible for a lot more suffering, death, and destruction than the United States is. So much for your high moral standards.

As is the case with slavery. It existed before the United States. The European powers, namely Britain, didn't want slavery all that much at home but they sure did desire it in the colonies.

Nater245689 7 months ago
In case you've haven't made a decision...get the Glock. The Sigma is a terrible pistol. Smith and Wesson basically learned what not to do with it. Then they built the M&P series, which is very good. Trying to decide between a Glock and an M&P comes down to personal preference. They're both very good.

@tylormurphy Yeah, but the Glocks aren't pieces of shit. Smith sells the Sigmas cheap because they want rid of them, they're at least making little profit from their sale and likely taking a loss. Look how much an M&P costs. Glocks are so far superior to the Sigma, it's not even a question that needs to be asked 'which is better'. Everyone should know by now.

I would look at one of the Glock 22 or 23 police trade ins.They can be found for around $300 to $350 easy and typically have low round counts and minimal holster wear.Personally I would stick w/ a 9mm as they are cheaper to shoot and train w/ and just as effective as a .40.

If the long heavy trigger pull isn't an issue go with the Sigma.
The trigger pull can be modded to make it much lighter by removing a spring or 2, search the vidoes here.

I say, in time, get both. I have both. Two Glocks and the Sigma 9mm. I took the butterfly spring out of the trigger mechanism and did some dremmel polishing of the trigger parts and brought the pull down to about 6 and a half pounds. When you pull the trigger, just one single pull back motion until it releases. The Sigma...what an outstanding weapon. My Glock 20, 10mm I've got the trigger pull down to 3 pounds. Sweet. But I'll never sell or trade my Sigma, I love it!

@torontothegood I own both of the guns, and I prefer the Glock. The only differece (like this video mentions) is the horrible trigger pull on the Sigma. The Glock has a 5 pound trigger pull, while the Sigma has a 9 pound pull. The Sigma has a gritty feal to the trigger, but if your in the moment in self defence you would not even notice. The Glock also has tons of accesories on a lot of different sites which is great, but Glocks are $550 while the Sigma is only $300. Go rent them, and try em out

The reason they made the trigger so heavy which im sure you know is 1) to get out of a lawsuit with glock (which you mentioned) and 2) Because the gun has no external safety. So they did it to help prevent any accidental discharges. Very nice video though. Great gun. I bought mine for my 21st bday
LongBeachPits562 1 year ago
your right.apart of the lawsuit and settlement they had to add a heavy trigger pull and other small mods like the rail change.your right.if you need a safety then you don't need a pistol.i carry my glock everyday with one in the chamber.the only reason i wouldn't keep the gun loaded with one in the chamber was if i was home with children around.i would keep the mag in my pocket or in another area from the gun.
MrHtown84 1 year ago
DavinDaGeek, I own a S&W Sigma SW40VE and I can tell you first hand, it isn't a piece of garbage like many would have you believe. If you can get used to the trigger pull, then it'll be just fine. I have had absolutely no issues with mine whatsoever. If you are looking for a basic, polymer frame handgun(Home Defense/Vehicle Defense), the Sigma is worth the money. If you want something that can be modded, by all means go with the Glock. They have a whole lot of aftermarket accessories for them.
SergeantZippo 1 year ago
@SergeantZippo go see how many competitors use a sigma. None if they know any better. Your comment about Glock not feeding reloads in rediculous. I bet I expend more ammo in three weeks than you do in a year, and 90 per cent of what I shoot are cast lead reloads because of cost. There is no comparison between Glock and S&W's bastard mistake..... If you gotta have a S&W and it has to be polymer go with a M&P. Don't stake your life on a substandard handgun.
1911competitor 1 year ago
@1911competitor Last I checked we weren't even talking about shooting competitions, so you can no step down off of your high horse. As for the remark about the reloads, that is my mistake. What I meant to say was that Glock doesn't want it's end users using reloaded ammunition because of the partially supported factory barrel and the possiblity of having a cartridge malfunction(I.E.: split, crack, etc.) and cause a catastrophic failure.
SergeantZippo 1 year ago
@1911competitor Furthermore, you have no idea how much I shoot, so I certainly wouldn't go betting on that. There is a 50% chance that you may win or lose, which are not good odds. Another thing you should take in account is that the Sigma was S&W's first polymer offering, which was patterned after a Glock, which caused them to be sued. The Sigma is what it is. It may not be to "Oh so sacred & Holy" Glock standards, but it sure as hell isn't substandard.

So did you buy a Sigma or a Glock? I have the Sigma 40 and have had good luck with it. I think the bad reviews come form the earlier models and most don't care for the heavy trigger pull. I too love the way the Sigma feels in my hand, fits perfectly. Had it for about a year now and I love the thing. Shot a Glock just a few times years ago so can't really compare the two. For the money the Sigma is awesome. I may get the 9mm in the future.

I have both the Glock and the Sigma... They are both great weapons and personally I feel the Sigma is a hybrid between the new M&P (trigger but slightly heavier) and the Glock (functionality). Considering both the Glock and the Sigma have performed great, I would go with the Sigma if that is what your heart is set on. You save some money as well and put that change towards ammo and holster. :)
