Malisa</a> - Todd found one today. He called out from the batoorhm (where else would a man be when reading a magazine?), What's Nathan's last name? Opened up a copy of Digital Camera. You're on Page 1.Good to see you again.

I've heard that sigmas have ridiculously bad triggers, good guns otherwise though. That sounds like a good deal so it would be hard to pass that up.

it does have a heavy trigger pull for a semi audo. but is a real nice gun. the one time the guy i bought it from shot it, i was there and one of the people who shot it. and the trigger pull beig heavy for a semi dont bother me cuase im usaly a revolver guy, so im usto heavy trigger pulls. this is actualy my first semi audo. BWT i have already picked it up. i just could not wait.

 

[buckfever]

You shot it yet? Was it accurate?

The reason I ask is Ive been looking at handguns here lately and have yet to meet a sig fan. I dont know if its cause they had that legal issue with glock and most everyone I meet is a glock fan or if its cause they are less expensive of a handgun, or if they really are that bad.

For $200 and all the stuff you got with it I would have had to make the purchase and just found out for myself. Sounds like a good deal you got.

yes i know the previous owner, and the one time he brought it to the range i was there, and shot it. only about 30 rounds though. i hit a clay piggen with it at about 30 yards in the first try and followed it up with a real nice grooping on a paper target......... and im not that good with hand guns. (im right handed, and left eye domonant)

 

[buckfever]

Thanks, I was curious. There is another sig thread on here and the folks that owned them seemed happy with theirs as well.

 

[hunt NH]

dont get me wrong. its no XD, but it is a nice gun.

Don't get a Sigma confused with a Sig. :wink:

Sorry that must be what im doing. Is this 2 different companies?

One made my smith and wesson and one made by Sig Sauer(or whatever the company is called)

A Sigma is made by Smith & Wesson. This is the one that had the legal issues with glock.

But then there is Sig Sauer which makes really high quality handguns.

 

[buckfever]

Thank you sir. I asked several folks about the sigma and from there on in the conversation they kept on saying "Never buy a sig, their crap."

I should have kept the 2 seperate only from the fact that I read a bunch of books. One author I read is a gun genius and he always referred to and over explained handguns. A sig wasnt his first choice but always wrote that a sig was in short form "a great gun".

put 100 rounds through it today. it was 100% pure awsome. i will say this, it is alot easyer to burn 100 rounds in a semi, with 2 14 round mags, than it is to burn 100 rounds in a 5 or 6 shot revolver.

 

[WisconsinDeer]

Glad it went good for ya. Was it accurate?

 

[hunt NH]

i did not shoot at paper targets so i cant tell you exact shot groops. but i was hitting soda cans as good as i could expect.

 

[rdrader2002]

Yup! You got it right!!!
Two companies -
S&W makes the Sigma.
Sig Sauer is the other company.
Better quality with the Sig(Sauer), but, like anything else, you'll pay a few more $$ for it.
But worth it, IMHO!
SIG SAUER

Sorry for the posting, was on pg 1 of this thread and hadn't read all the rest of them.
But I'll stick with my opinion!

 

[hunt NH]

no prob. if one of my threads can get someone the info they are looking for that is great in my opinion. there are many much nicer guns out there for way more $$$$$ and plenty of cheeper gund out there that feel cheep in your hand. i just think that the sigma is one of the best bang for your buck guns out there

 

[Rozman62]

buckfever - Recommend the Sig Sauer P229 Equinox in 9mm if your into punching paper. The 40 cal are nice too but much harder on the internal components. You will pay more but there quality is outstanding.

The X5 guns pistols are the high end and suburb as they are machined and assembled in Germany however they are out of most people's budget range. ($1800-3200)

 

[Lizette]

Well, interesting information.

 

[Hunting Man]

son has a 40 sigma, I think for the money its not bad. I've seen Cabela's sale these around $300.00. When I get ready for concealed carry I will look at Kimber. I like my custom royal in 45 cal but will probably go for a 9 or 40 with a smaller carry.
