A friend of mine used to own a Sigma .40 and I went to the range with him a bunch of times and fired it quite a bit. I did not find it to be a "bad" gun at all. It certainly did not have the refinement of the more expensive brands, but for what it cost, I think it delivered. If I knew someone who simply needed a basic self-defense tool and did not care about bells and whistles, the Sigma will get the job done and I would have no problem recommending it to someone on a budget. I never experienced any problems with the gun, nor did my friend. Not too long ago, my buddy traded the Sigma in and got a Sig 1911 platinum which is a piece of art, but he made the trade because he really got into shooting and wanted something nicer, not because there was anything wrong with the Sigma. Personally, I would not buy one, but that is because I really enjoy shooting and appreciate fine craftsmanship, so I would spend more and get something else. IMO it is like driving a Toyota because it is economical or driving a Lexus because it is nice. Truth be told, most of us would probably want the Lexus, but would be just fine in the Toyota.
