How many Sigma owners out there? I bought a SW40VE in March of this year for $299 plus tax.I have well over 1200 rounds thru it. If you don't like a revolver style trigger this gun is not for you.My trigger has a "gritty" feeling but S&W said they will take care of that.Other then that,I like it very much and will never get rid of it. :smt1099

that was my first simi auto. trigger kinda sucks, but other than that and (for me)not the greatest accuracy, not a bad gun at all. mine never jammed (trust me, i tried to make it. they are pretty good guns. deffinitly not a sig, fairly close to a glock, and leaps and bounds better than a hi-point.

I bought a sigma when they first came out in the 1990's and it was an alloy piece of crap. It did shoot however and accuracy was awful. I can't speak for newer sigma's. Since that first experience with one I haven't bought s&w since. I stick with sig and glock. I hope your new one is much better.

I had a 9mm Sigma for awhile. I had no problems with it. My nephew liked the gun so I gave him a great deal on it. I bought it used and between us we have probably put 2000 rounds downrange. I have thought about getting another one but I always find something else I like want more:rolleyes:.

A good friend of mine bought the 9mm a few years ago but so far he hasn't shot one round through it. It would drive me crazy to keep a firearm around and have no idea how it functions. I've offered to test it with his ammo since I don't own any nines but so far no go.:smt033

:numbchuck: I hope it works okay when the zombies come a knockin' at the door.

I now have over 2500 rounds thru my 40VE.The trigger just keeps getting better.It's funny to see a $300 gun shoot anything you feed it while at the same time seeing Glocks around you having FTF and FTE problems! :anim_lol:
I have a lot experiance with hand guns. I have seen an exponential amount of Sigmas experiance problems compared to Glocks. There are many many time more Glocks in the system and I am willing to bet there are many many more problems with Sigmas. Are there some good one. If people aren't lying I guess there are. Do I think it is funny to see a gun have problems no matter the cost or what brand it carries.....no its not funny.

Is it cool that there is a 300 dollar hand gun that people can own and shoot, yeah it is. Because it works and gets better and is cheap, does that make it a good hand gun or a working hand gun, it all depends I guess.

I would pay 550 for a Glock before I would pay 300 for a Sigma. I am not a Glock fan persee but I do know and appreciate quality, and I know and aprreciate what makes inexpensive ....inexpensive. I am motivated by quality and unimpressed by lack of cost. I am not one to throw money away to own a brand name on the other hand too me it is throwing money away to own a lesser product simply to meet a lower price point.

i bought my 40ve based off of price. and the more i shoot it the more i love it. you will start feeling the trigger pull get easier after about 250 rounds. i recommend getting dummy rounds and dry fire it, also spend some time loading in the clip to get springs broke in. i will never sell my 40ve, i have put about 1200 rounds threw it without a single jam. the trigger isnt bad considering there isnt much of a safety. it will only shoot when i want it too, minimal change of accidental fire! :mrgreen:

Bought my 40VE this past weekend. Put 400 rounds through it. Not one single jam or misfeed.


As for the heavy trigger. You can mod it just look for tutorials on YouTube. Takes it from about 8 pounds down to about 3. I'm in love with it now. And If you don't feel comfortable modding it yourself or if you don't have much experience just take it to a local gunsmith. I had no experience modding handguns but somehow I pulled it off. :)

Just shot a buddy's 40VE today, and it seems fairly reliable. At least, it didn't FTF or FTE. Never had a jam. However, my big hand wrapped around that skinny grip, then trying to pull the trigger 6 ft. back... made for an uncomfortable gun after a few dozen rounds. It didn't seem to be as accurate as my XD40 SC, which was strange, considering the barrel length difference.
