Long time, no post. Sorry, no good reason. I have been unusually busy with stuff since the pistol arrived. Nothing pressing, just stuff. So, I have not yet taken it out. But, my two freebee mags arrived today so that is a good thing. I hope to hit a range within the next week or two.

WOW! another month of stuff getting in the way of firing this thing. But yesterday I finally got to put an even hundred through it. Results were very good, I think.

I tried four different brands 10 each then another 15 each. No problems at all. Accuracy of the gun was as good as I had hoped. MY accuracy was FAR better than I expected. At 20 feet I could easily make 4" groups standing. I haven't fired handgun for almost 20 years, so I was very happy with the first outing.

Trigger pull was heavy (a known and expected thing) but was not a problem. Maybe a little rough/gritty but I am still holding off with any changes there.

I tried the following ammunition in no particular:

• Barbaul Brown Bear 115 gr Steel (laquered) case
• CCI/Speer Blazer 115 gr Aluminum case
• Federal 115 gr Brass case
• PMC Bronze 115 gr Brass

They all seemed of similar accuracy as I did not feel the need to make any "corrections". The only thing that seemed odd was the the Blazers (aluminum) ejected up and back. One bounced off my head, another few off my right shoulder. All the others ejected nearly straight to the side.

I loaded all four mags with 10 rounds and fired them. Then I reloaded each with 15. I did not fire them in the same order the second time as I did the first. The results were the same both sessions.

So, I am completely pleased with the gun itself and the deal I got (thanks Bud's and S&W). Thanks to all here who gave straight answers and opinions that lead to the purchase.

I have a short story to tell about my son's first time shooting. I'll post that in the next day or two in the general long gun section.

For the price a Sigma is hard to beat that's why I own two .40's.
