Re: S&W Sigma, M&P, or Ruger SR9?

I was in no means "Slamming" Sigmas...I was just commmenting on the 2 and only 2 firsthand experiences with them.
I would say that I wouldn't buy a Sigma just from the experience that I have seen with them. Cheaply priced yes they are, reliable, not from what I have seen first hand. Granted I am very Ruger biased, I love my SR9. Taking it apart is a snap, and the ergos are great, where you able to try it with the backstrap flipped both ways, Brewster?

The M&P is a great gun, and for only 100 bucks more, you get that noted performance over its lesser sibling. If it didn't feel so chunky in my hand I would probably own one too. I doo like the fact that its looks are less Glocky.

And normally on Ruger's "warranty/lack of one" they do have excellent customer service, normally. You will however catch a person on a bad day every now and then, but if you can climb that corporate ladder you can find the person you need to talk to in order to fix your problem. If there is a problem with your gun, call them and they will send you a box to ship your gun in, fix/replace whats bad, and ship out, on their dime.

Re: S&W Sigma, M&P, or Ruger SR9?

Longtooth was referring to me about the SR9, I shot 70 rounds through it in some excersises with LT and I was plenty happy with it, no FTF, feeds, fires, or ejects. 100% functionality from it. As for the Sigma, my wifes LEO friend just bought one, it was cheap price but says it jams on the second round, may need the feed ramp touched up sounds like, not sure. My uncle is an LEO in FT Worth and says sigmas are a no no, though he is a Ruger fan and carries a Sig 226 on duty. The M&P is a great platform from what I hear, I have not shot one yet, but have held a couple in 9 and 45 and the grip is just to beefy for my tastes, I love the way my SR9 feels in my hands. If you have held a P95 or P944 or the .45 older variant and feel the grip is too thick take a look at the SR9 if you can. I got mine for 433 tax included otd.
