Re: Considering a S&W Sigma (SW40V)

I had a SW Sigma 9mm (SW9VE).

As my first automatic, I liked it. But once I shot something just remotely better, I realized how bad the Sigma is.
the trigger, IIRC, is 12lb, very long pull. compared to a Glock about 5lb. My Springfield XD9SC is probably 5-6lb, but much easier to shoot.

If you want it for home protection, and you are not going to get any other handguns, the Sigma is fine.
If you want it for CHL, IMO, its too big. Get a 4" or 3" Springfield or Glock

it shoots straight, has a good magazine capacity (16rd for the 9mm), so the only negative is the trigger.


However, if you decide you want another pistol, you will regret spending the money on the Sigma now, as you will end up selling it and losing money compared to your used purchase price.


Edited to add: Mine SW Sigma 9mm, new was only $329+tax, and it came with 4 magazines, so to buy one used, if it came with 4 mags, I probably wouldn't pay more than $250 but would offer $200 as a starting point, assuming it is in good condition.
For each missing mag, reduce the price by $25
