S&W Sigma .40 SW40VE shiney!

Hey internet, just got done with a little buffer wheel time on the slide of the sigma. Thought some of you other sigma lovin dudes might want to see. I just got done doing a trigger "enhancement" IE removing two springs from the mechanism that seem to be there just for FUN! once I have some trigger time with this mod I'll probably post a how too, but only after I have insured its reliability.

This was done on a bench grinder (seen in background) with a cotton buffing wheel, and 3 stages of buffing compound. starting with black(emery), then yellow (ss/nickel buffing compound), then white (jewelers gloss polish) Guys always be responsible when handling guns and power equipment!

As always, I'd be happy to answer questions!

This gun was safety checked and dry fired prior to the shooting of this video!

Does polishing it make it vulnerable to rust?

@cntryboy9211

This particular slide is made of solid stainless steel, so if anything the more smooth finish is LESS vulnerable to rust .

How did the trigger mods work ? Did u remove the pig tale spring ?

[GadgetsNGear]

@Deweyduhamel

Yeah pigtail spring gone, I also removed the outer of the two spings that push up on the sear and replaced it with a much lighter weight one. I'm afraid this gun sees more time in the closet now though as I have fallen rather deeply in love with my CZ75

@GadgetsNGear Is pulling out the pigtail really worth it? How many lb's of trigger pull would you say that shaved off? Mine sits under my bed waiting to die cuz I can't stand shooting it thanks to the trigger.

@snatale1

Hmm, well my friend has a trigger scale, before the pigtail mod, the trigger was more than ten pounds (the highest his scale goes.... after the pigtail mod it was (drum roll) still more than ten pounds lol! But I had a few friends shoot it and they all agreed it was an improvement. I then removed another keeper spring and replaced it with a much lighter spring and did a full action polishing job on it and we all agreed that it was VERY nice... It was still more than 10 lbs... lol

Haters gonna hate I guess........

mtridgee11 has a nice video on doing the trigger mod. one of the best i have seen on youtube.

[turboboy0]

i also took the pigtail out of both my sigmas(9mm and .40cal). i polished the the inner trigger parts and changed one of the inner springs with a lighter one and it made a huge difference in the feel.now the trigger is smoother and lighter. much more enjoyable to shoot than a stocker.

[coachrwilson5]

@GadgetsNGear $20 and a new spring took my trigger pull to 3.5 pounds on my sigma ....love shooting it !

You're right about not making it any shinier. It looks PERFECT the way it is in this video. I always thought the Sigma looked great and you just made it look like a piece of art.lol
