yeah I been wanting to buy a good handgun at a low price and I came across this one online for a good deal. I think this is the gun for me, great video too thanks man!!
Ha! You are doing the same thing I've been doing. First few shots are right on, then progressively I start moving down and to the right. I blame the trigger weight, and my weak wrist. And the pot of coffee I drank that morning.
I sold my sigma to buy a glock it was ok but glocks on another level i love it. The sigma trigger is not very good evan after these mods its a stiff gritty gun evan the slides stiff. Id say its a good first gun i loved mine until i started shooting other guns.
EXCELLENT Video! I watched this before purchasing the firearm and watched it after just so I could duplicate the hold when I shot it at the range today. This is one of the smoothest guns, I've ever shot. Trigger pull? I would put money down that 95% of the people who complain NEVER touched this gun let alone fired it. Heavy maybe on safety but regardless, this is point, aim and fire and if you can hold a .40Cal then you can hit center mass, if not work on your technique. GREAT JOB @RAZORTNK !!~
This is a truly great weapon. The trigger pull is a little much but not bad. I can personally say this weapon saved my life. Accurate ad he'll and that's why I'm still alive
just bought this gun about 3 weeks ago and took it to the range yesterday. shot about 200 rounds and it fires beautifully. honestly if the trigger pull is an issue for you then you need to go back to the basics. i took my 5'1 girlfriend about 100 pounds and she loved it. had no problem shooting it single handed. straight shooter as long as you know how to properly fire a handgun. would recommend to anyone.
I got the same gun, i read somewhere that the heavy trigger pull is the safety mechanism for this gun, You basically have to o be wanting to pull thee trigger for it go off.
@TexasWhitetails1 Yes. Mine weighs in at 11.5 lbs. It's extremely heavy compared to my M&P .40 which has a 4.5 lbs trigger. But it is easy to get use to.
@TexasWhitetails1 It is also very easy to lighten up the trigger yourself,they have tutorials on youtube that walk you through it and its very simple all you need is a punch to knock a pin out as far as tools go.
@MegaCowboys27 I'd recommend handing a "police officer" a copy of the Constitution and a picture of his house in your neighborhood. Why you might ask? Because the majority of cops have forgotten/ ignore the oath they took in order to get their JOB (They always jump at every anti-gun photo opportunity with Political traitors in support of abolishing the 2nd Amendment) to uphold and defend this Republics laws. Why the house pic? To remind them they are no better than you or I.
@MegaCowboys27 That's a great first weapon! However, if you're recoil adverse I wouldn't suggest it. It's very top heavy and that just adds to the snappyness of the .40cal.
You are as strong as an ox! Just work on your technique and you will be able to rapid-fire that pistol into a target faster than you can count the bullets comming out of the mag and through the chamber.
The sigma is a great gun, I love mine. I used to have "Glock envy" with all my friends, but I actually shoot better than they do with it. It also feels better in my hand than the Glock.
The ONLY thing I don't like about it is the two tone color. I would prefer it being all black, but I'm just being nitpicky.
i think you were staring at your target. you want a clear front sight post on a blurry target. i only give people tips. cause if the world should end, i wanna know that people can shoot. like a marine and hit they're target.......... semper fi devils

@chrisreed82 ive had my sigma for 2 years now, i shoot it every weekend together with my glock 17 and i can honestly tell you i trust my life on this pistol as much as i do with my glock 17
@chrisreed82 ive had my sigma for 2 years now and i shoot it almost every weekend with my glock 17, i cante honestly tell you i trust my life in this pistol just as much as my glock 17
@chrisreed82 To put it bluntly, Yes, I love my Sigma. I've put thousands of rounds through it and it has never jammed once. Because it is priced so low, many people right it off as a cheap weapon. It isn't. It's not my concealed carry weapon because its so big, but it is one of my home defense/range weapons. You can't go wrong purchasing the.40 Sigma.
@RazorTNK Great comment! Thats why Im watching vids,to see what people think of them.I have been eyeballing one for a while but was turned off by the trigger,I found out how easy it is to do the trigger job myself so now I want to know about long term reliability and you summed that up very well.Thank you.
Yeah, it kind of sucks to be in California. Maximum number of rounds is ten. The really sad thing is I've had my sigma for two months now and still haven't tried it out.
@MichaelkSimmons Ouch! That would be the definition of hell... No just California, but owning a new gun for more than 2 months before being able to shoot it! :) Thanks for watching!
i just bought one of these sigma .40's and for the price it can not be beat. not the highest quality weapon but for $300 it is the best you can buy. actually put the first 200 rounds through it at H&H. great place!
Nice vid, I bought one of these A couple months back. I LOVE it. People say it's junk and not accurate but I'm great with it. Better with it than my Beretta Cougar and my Ruger SR9. Just put another 150 rounds through it last weekend and it was flawless. It also eats any ammo. Usually use Federal though, $13.97 a box at Wal-mart, cheapest .40 I can find.
@JoHomza1 For the past few years I've been shooting Winchester 180 grain target rounds with 0 jams or misfires. I buy the 100rd box from Wal-mart, or anyone else that carries them at the cheapest price. Happy shooting!
nice shooting i also own a sigma and never had problems with it very reliable the only thing i would say is that the trigger pull is a little hard other than that is great i dont get why people bad mouth this gun just to jump on the band wagon remember glock sued s&W because is 99% like a glock i also own a glock and a springfield xd and the s&w sigma has nothing to envy these other brands plus the price is very affortable
Quick question man, well first of all, nice shooting and gratz on the sigma. But i just picked one of these up today and it seems like with a loaded magazine you really have to slam it in for it to fit in properly, did/do u have that problem?
I just picked mine up a couple weeks ago. I was having that problem when I first started putting loaded magazines in. But not that its been used and worn in a little its becoming easier.
awesome, i figured/hoped so, one more question tho playa, the slide stop release is tough as a mofo on mine, it functions but requires a lot more thumb muscle than on other guns ive used, anything similar with yours or did i get a semi-lemon?
@longbeachmustangkid, ah coo, i think we busted the same thing except for your a week older than me, let me guess, got the extra 2 mags instead of the 50 bucks too right?
@monkey1234567890 Yeah I got the 2 free mags haha fuck the $50 dude the mags are worth more anyway. Haha you barely turned 21 too? thats koo man. Happy shooting!
@RazorTNK yeah the only other thing i've heard is that glocks don't need to be broken in. the 5th or 6th round i fired out of the box didn't rechamber but since then it's been good.
Technically, all weapons that fire projectiles need to be, "broken in." Break-in procedures vary from weapon to weapon, but they all start with a through cleaning to remove any and all shipping grease, then proper lubrication. You can do things like clean the barrel every: shot, 10 shots, 20 shots, 30, 50... whatever. Basically, shoot it and find out what ammo works best; and/or work out the kinks if any.
i got mine for my b-day, cant complain. the trigger is heavy but its a safety feature. i love my gun. congrats to u guys who just got it. happy shooting
Just bought mine today... 10 day wait and I Can't wait to shoot it. I own a s&w model 39 that I have shot since i was 4 so I'm stoked to have a larger round now. Cheap gun so I'm not expecting the world but I Had to buy American though and I think it will be a good gun to teach my girl with.
Dude how is the sigma? I just went and bought mine yesterday and now I just have to wait the ten day period for the wonderful state of california......cant wait to shoot it! lol
I will be getting one of these very soon, college graduation present from my folks. love the way it feels, shoots well, and for the money, cant beat it.
just got mine. i dnt like the trigger pull and it has heavy kick which is probably why it drifts to da left wen i shoot. but i still love it, it looks so gangsta
Broke mine in today for the first time as well. Did'nt really like the kick. Aim's good. Mag's polished finished seemed to tarnish real easy with all the poweder resin. Ok for the price a guess. My dads colt 38 super fired alot smoother.
There isn't much kick. Tarnish? Maybe powder residue, but if you never clean it then maybe tarnish. It's an amazing weapon for the price. Keep in mind, it's not a service weapon, not a concealed carry weapon, it's a home-defense/short range target pistol.
@minator3 I have to shot mine again because for some reason it was shooting high right, maybe I need more practice. i've been shooting my glock so long, the trigger has a completely different feel to it.
put it this way, its no glock or sig, but after a 1000 rounds of the sigma, youll be a pro with anything else you pick up. Its a starter gun that teaches you the importance of trigger squeaze over pull. Kick? well...if you've shot a 40sw before, its more than a 9mm, no matter what you shoot it through. Your getting a decent pistol either way.
Razor I own the Sigma 40ve have you noticed a little slide bite with the way that you shoot yours. After 100 rounds my thumb really starts to hurt a little.
Nope, sorry Armando. I've put thousands of rounds through my Sigma, the max in one day being 400; never bothered me a bit. Are you pushing too hard? I dunno what the problem could be.
I guess you didn't take the time to break it in. After you do the trigger is much smoother and about 3 pounds lighter. To each his own, I like the Glock, but I prefer something comparable, American, and half the price.... Thanks for watching!
No, I know. I'm just saying that I I haven't had any problems with it, but I don't know if I would prefer something... bolted on or whatever. I also don't bang mine around, did yours get dropped or was it just from shooting?
OK then if you are just shooting it it will stay on there tight for many many years to come and with that life time warrenty you should be set if you are only shooting it
mine got damaged in a struggle with someone else when he had tried to take it away from but other then that it should be fine.
I noticed you only had a 10 round Mag? are you by any chance living in California? just wondering because High Cap. mags are illegal here just like everything else.....haha
heh, no offense, but you couldn't pay me enough to live in Cali, I was born there but I didn't hang around very long. It's actually a 14 round mag, I was only loading 10 rounds to conserve ammo. :)
Lol yeah I feel you. California is a cool place but it has shitty ass stupid laws and regulations.......where do you live? I wish we could have Hi Cap mags here but like I said in the last comment everything is illegal here....they're even trying to ban BLACK CARS....can you believe this shit? I told my girl I want to move to Nevada or Arizona.....
Arizona would be better than Nevada, but I live in Oklahoma. We don't have open carry like Arizona and NH, but we do have minimal gun laws. One of the few states we can decide to buy a gun and shoot that same gun in the same day, sometimes within the same hour.
I have the 9mm version of this gun, and i've only put 300 rounds through it so far... but do u guys think that this weapon is as durable as the glocks???
I have one. Sigma 40, and today, I fired it for the 2nd time. The first time out, I put 50 through it, no problem. Today, I was on my first magazine, and it jammed about 5 times. Other times, after cleaning the jam, I would put the magazine back in the gun, pull the slide back, and I couldn't get a trigger response. I'd pull the trigger but no firing, as if it weren't cocked. I was very disappointed with my S&W today.
I have a Sigma 40 cal also. This gun does not like cheap loads. If you use reloads make sure they are good quality. I agree with RGV, you might need a new striker spring. Very cheap fix.
I was using winchester cartridges. They're not Hornady, but they certainly aren't Wolf either, lol... I'm going to shoot again real soon, and cross my fingers.
Is there ANY chance at all that after u shoot ur last bullet and the slide locks back that it'll shoot after u load a new mag and release the slide? because that happened to my friend during a home invasion and he almost hit his little cousin. Or did he just do something worng?
Yeah, as a matter of fact, that's exactly how you make the gun hot again. It will not fire when the slide is released until you pull the trigger, UNLESS there is something extremely wrong with the gun or someone messed up the firing pin. Your friend's cousin is very lucky.
It may need a new striker spring. They cost about $5.00. If the spring is too weak, the inertia of the striker will overcome the retention in the spring and be able to "carry through" and punch the primer when the slide slams shut. It's called a "slam fire." Check with Wolff Gun Springs. Also, the striker may be defective in that it's too long. A new striker is also inexpensive. Titanium strikers are more expensive, but have less inertia.
Yeah, silly Cali, they like to over legislate everything. I'm proud to live in the great state of Oklahoma! Good choice on a first handgun. Don't let the trigger slow you down, it's heavy but you'll get use to it.
Yes. The weapon should NEVER fire unless the trigger is pulled. If it does, there is something seriously wrong with it, and it should be fixed or destroyed.
lol, sorry. No, they won't fix the trigger for free, because there's really nothing "wrong" with it. They made it heavy to help prevent accidental discharge.
Nice, I got mine at Gander Mountain in Denver( great gun shop) for $299. It was only shot once and the laser was still in the package. I was at the right place at the right time.
Hehehe, yeah the Sigma is by no means as high quality a gun as a 1911, but it can be as accurate. Basically, keep shooting, you'll get use to it. Or, you could always get a trigger job. New, it's about a 12lb trigger and after you break it in real well it drops to about 9 to 10 lbs.
yeah I been wanting to buy a good handgun at a low price and I came across this one online for a good deal. I think this is the gun for me, great video too thanks man!!

@RazorTNK yeah the only other thing i've heard is that glocks don't need to be broken in. the 5th or 6th round i fired out of the box didn't rechamber but since then it's been good.
94dc2integ 2 years ago
Technically, all weapons that fire projectiles need to be, "broken in." Break-in procedures vary from weapon to weapon, but they all start with a through cleaning to remove any and all shipping grease, then proper lubrication. You can do things like clean the barrel every: shot, 10 shots, 20 shots, 30, 50... whatever. Basically, shoot it and find out what ammo works best; and/or work out the kinks if any.

Just bought mine today... 10 day wait and I Can't wait to shoot it. I own a s&w model 39 that I have shot since i was 4 so I'm stoked to have a larger round now. Cheap gun so I'm not expecting the world but I Had to buy American though and I think it will be a good gun to teach my girl with.

Congrats on the purchase! I love mine. It's amazing for the price. It WILL teach trigger control and follow through.

Dude how is the sigma? I just went and bought mine yesterday and now I just have to wait the ten day period for the wonderful state of california......cant wait to shoot it! lol

Broke mine in today for the first time as well. Did'nt really like the kick. Aim's good. Mag's polished finished seemed to tarnish real easy with all the poweder resin. Ok for the price a guess. My dads colt 38 super fired alot smoother.
beatstrangler 2 years ago
There isn't much kick. Tarnish? Maybe powder residue, but if you never clean it then maybe tarnish. It's an amazing weapon for the price. Keep in mind, it's not a service weapon, not a concealed carry weapon, it's a home-defense/short range target pistol.

Sigma is good starter gun for those who want to shoot the big rounds. Its also a good practices gun for those who are in Miltary or law enforcement.

@Captb55806 : Yep, I agree 100% Thanks for watching.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
and wist0301, it pretty much is a glock 22. same thing because the head designer from glock works for smith and wesson and he designed the sigma.
minator3 2 years ago
the kick is very small because of the low profile. lots of people say it had a heavy trigger pull but i like the way mine shoots.
minator3 2 years ago 8
@minator3 I have to shot mine again because for some reason it was shooting high right, maybe I need more practice. i've been shooting my glock so long, the trigger has a completely different feel to it.
dsportnissan 1 year ago
@minator3 i have to agree i like mine as well the trigger pull gats a little lighter after its is broken in.

Is the S&W Sigma .40 any good. My dad let me know that I was getting one for christmas. About how long to break it in? how is the kick?
deathcometh61 2 years ago
put it this way, its no glock or sig, but after a 1000 rounds of the sigma, youll be a pro with anything else you pick up. Its a starter gun that teaches you the importance of trigger squeaze over pull. Kick? well...if you've shot a 40sw before, its more than a 9mm, no matter what you shoot it through. Your getting a decent pistol either way.
wist0301 2 years ago
Razor I own the Sigma 40ve have you noticed a little slide bite with the way that you shoot yours. After 100 rounds my thumb really starts to hurt a little.
Armando1228 2 years ago
Nope, sorry Armando. I've put thousands of rounds through my Sigma, the max in one day being 400; never bothered me a bit. Are you pushing too hard? I dunno what the problem could be.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
yea man ... mine hurts my thumb too after about 100 rounds
cphalfback41 2 years ago
I guess you didn't take the time to break it in. After you do the trigger is much smoother and about 3 pounds lighter. To each his own, I like the Glock, but I prefer something comparable, American, and half the price.... Thanks for watching!
RazorTNK 2 years ago
Be very careful of you front sight post its only held on by an epoxy type material and can be damaged no prob. just a word from the wise.
Popsicle22754 2 years ago
Yeah.... Don't know how I feel about that yet...
RazorTNK 2 years ago
just saying budy it just happened to mine if you dont believe just take apart the slide and look under the front sight post.
Popsicle22754 2 years ago
No, I know. I'm just saying that I I haven't had any problems with it, but I don't know if I would prefer something... bolted on or whatever. I also don't bang mine around, did yours get dropped or was it just from shooting?
RazorTNK 2 years ago
OK then if you are just shooting it it will stay on there tight for many many years to come and with that life time warrenty you should be set if you are only shooting it
mine got damaged in a struggle with someone else when he had tried to take it away from but other then that it should be fine.

I noticed you only had a 10 round Mag? are you by any chance living in California? just wondering because High Cap. mags are illegal here just like everything else.....haha
longbeachmustangkid 2 years ago
heh, no offense, but you couldn't pay me enough to live in Cali, I was born there but I didn't hang around very long. It's actually a 14 round mag, I was only loading 10 rounds to conserve ammo. :)
RazorTNK 2 years ago
Lol yeah I feel you. California is a cool place but it has shitty ass stupid laws and regulations.......where do you live? I wish we could have Hi Cap mags here but like I said in the last comment everything is illegal here....they're even trying to ban BLACK CARS....can you believe this shit? I told my girl I want to move to Nevada or Arizona.....
longbeachmustangkid 2 years ago
Arizona would be better than Nevada, but I live in Oklahoma. We don't have open carry like Arizona and NH, but we do have minimal gun laws. One of the few states we can decide to buy a gun and shoot that same gun in the same day, sometimes within the same hour.

RazorTNK 2 years ago
I have one. Sigma 40, and today, I fired it for the 2nd time. The first time out, I put 50 through it, no problem. Today, I was on my first magazine, and it jammed about 5 times. Other times, after cleaning the jam, I would put the magazine back in the gun, pull the slide back, and I couldn't get a trigger response. I'd pull the trigger but no firing, as if it weren't cocked. I was very disappointed with my S&W today.
vpirates62 2 years ago
I'd take it back... I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with yours.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
I have a Sigma 40 cal also. This gun does not like cheap loads. If you use reloads make sure they are good quality. I agree with RGV, you might need a new striker spring. Very cheap fix.
kansasman2000 2 years ago
I was using winchester cartridges. They're not Hornady, but they certainly aren't Wolf either, lol... I'm going to shoot again real soon, and cross my fingers.

You have great recoil control. I got to practice more...
vreid10 2 years ago
Well thanks! My Sigma has a bit less recoil than my Taurus, but if you ask me I'd say the recoil isn't that stout on the Sigma anyway.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
Is there ANY chance at all that after u shoot ur last bullet and the slide locks back that it'll shoot after u load a new mag and release the slide? because that happened to my friend during a home invasion and he almost hit his little cousin. Or did he just do something worng?
jcarranza209 2 years ago
Yeah, as a matter of fact, that's exactly how you make the gun hot again. It will not fire when the slide is released until you pull the trigger, UNLESS there is something extremely wrong with the gun or someone messed up the firing pin. Your friend's cousin is very lucky.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
It may need a new striker spring. They cost about $5.00. If the spring is too weak, the inertia of the striker will overcome the retention in the spring and be able to "carry through" and punch the primer when the slide slams shut. It's called a "slam fire." Check with Wolff Gun Springs. Also, the striker may be defective in that it's too long. A new striker is also inexpensive. Titanium strikers are more expensive, but have less inertia.

Yeah, silly Cali, they like to over legislate everything. I'm proud to live in the great state of Oklahoma! Good choice on a first handgun. Don't let the trigger slow you down, it's heavy but you'll get use to it.

I heard that S&W would lighten the trigger if you send it in for gunsmithing, for free...do you know if that's true?

I can't say I've heard that, but now you have me interested! I hope it's true.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
is that true? ive looked on their website and havent found anything. Where di u hear this
TexasDistortion 2 years ago
Yes. The weapon should NEVER fire unless the trigger is pulled. If it does, there is something seriously wrong with it, and it should be fixed or destroyed.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
Oh, i was talking about the company S&W fixing the heavy trigger pull for free
TexasDistortion 2 years ago
lol, sorry. No, they won't fix the trigger for free, because there's really nothing "wrong" with it. They made it heavy to help prevent accidental discharge.
RazorTNK 2 years ago
but that never happens right?
kjsh987 2 years ago
What? Accidental discharge? Sure, but it was designed to make you have to try, consciously pull the trigger.

I just got this gun and am finding that the trigger is affecting my accuracy. Any advice for this gun?
I guess i'm used to my 1911 but I really want to like the sigma. Any tips would be great.
boneyardpc 2 years ago
Hehehe, yeah the Sigma is by no means as high quality a gun as a 1911, but it can be as accurate. Basically, keep shooting, you'll get use to it. Or, you could always get a trigger job. New, it's about a 12lb trigger and after you break it in real well it drops to about 9 to 10 lbs.
