Demetrio Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have a chance to get a Sigma SW9F for a good price from a co-worker of mine. My question is: is it a good option for Production division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtlt Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Very heavy trigger pull. You should try shooting it before you by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSCDRL Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yes, as long as it fits YOUR hand and YOU shoot it well. I don't see a lot of them in competition or on the range but they are certainly workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get an M&P. You'll love it. Much better than the Sigma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911user Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Very heavy trigger pull. You should try shooting it before you by it. I completely agree. Many people have issues with the trigger pull (especially for competative use) and there is no easy way to "fix" it. The SW9F is the older model that is no longer sold. The trigger pull on it will be better than a new sigma, but still not realistically adjustable. Either love the stock pistol or don't buy it. For serious use, avoid +p+ ammo. The extra recoil and higher slide velocity keeps the sear block from always resetting properly. It should be fine with normal 9mm ammo. On the new generation sigmas, S&W added a second spring to the sear block and that is a major reason for the heavy trigger pull. With the F model sigma, you'll be limited to older magazines, the ones for the new generation sigma will be slightly too short. If you have the money (find a second job if you don't), get an M&P or a Glock or an XD. The M&P grip feels somewhat like the sigma (that's a good thing), but the stock trigger pull is better and can be improved even more. IMHO the best thing a sigma has going for it now is a selling price of $300 new for something that is reliable.

Demetrio Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Thanks for all the inputs. For some reason I liked the angle of the Sigma grip better than the Glock, but I also noticed the heavier trigger of the S&W compared with the Glock. It seems like I'd better to get used to the angle of the Glock grip instead of going with the Sigma. Not to mention the difficulty to get two other extra magazines for the Sigma here in Brazil, since the one I have on view has two magazines only.
