[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2388319, member: 796"] I use Sigmas for loaners and trainers, and in stock form they are rugged reliable and simple---with a long heavy trigger pull. Unfortunately, attempts to "improve" the trigger pull or anything else often result in losing the reliability. For example, I had a .40 Sigma for a decade, and never had any problems with it. I loaned it to a shooter for an IDPA match after his Brand X .40 broke the slide. He insisted on buying the whole rig: gun, fobus holster, fobus mag holders, extra mags, all he needed to shoot IDPA/SSP or USPSA/Production. After shooting several matches in which the gun ran flawlessly on the Federal 180gr ammunition I told him it liked, he started to experiment. Long story short, he "improved" it until it became unreliable. If you buy used, you risk buying a "bubba gunsmithed Sigma," an unreliable one that is more trouble than it is worth, no matter how cheap. Sigmas are out of production. If you buy new, look at the S&W SD, which is the revised Sigma, better trigger, but still cheap, like when Academy puts them on sale around $300. I prefer the S&W M&P Pro for my use, but it costs twice as much. [/QUOTE]
