Because I was getting it replaced under warranty, I had to send back the old one. Maybe this is just a good excuse to go upgrade to a nice new black phone. "Why do you need a new phone?..Because it doesn't match my gun and my knife!"

Well, if you CFO (Chief Finance Officer, aka Wife) is like mine, here is the option she would give me:

I had a black one, but I dropped it into a hot tub. They sent me the white one as a replacement instead of my black one. I wasn't happy, but needed a phone so just kept it.

If you didn't have to send back the black one you can change cases on it. Usually a T5 or T6 torx is all that is needed!

From just over a YEAR ago, on page 31 of this thread, you posted:

I am slowly working my way through this thread while my work computer struggles to produce data from our server and I just read this message. In the previous post, a guy said he used to carry a SW40VE before he got the XD-40 in the photo. The above quote was your response.

I'd be interested to know your reason(s). I bought that S&W for carry (still haven't even had the course, however) so I'm curious.

And to ALL, I apologize for not going PM with this but I can't seem to get that function to work for me. The messages I've sent appear to have "gone" but still appear in my outbox and I've had zero responses. I'm not all that familiar with this forum software.

LT, if you care to PM the reply, I do seem to be able to receive. Thanks!

Thanks, everyone, for your indulgence of this new guy!

I'm not LT, but think I can answer the question. The Sigma was S&W's attempt to copy the Glock. The original version was so much of a clone that S&W was sued by Glock. After a settlement, the trigger on the new versions (SW9 or SW40 VE) was changed and has a VERY long, hard/heavy and gritty pull out of the box. I personally own one and have had to do some extensive trigger work to lighten it for shooting targets. It is a reliable gun, but the stock triggers are very nasty. I wouldn't be afraid to carry it with the stock trigger, but I think the accuracy suffers because of the long, hard, gritty trigger.

The XD on the other hand has a very smooth and comfortable stock trigger pull and is a superb firearm straight out of the box. It is also very reliable and just better made overall. I believe that is what LT was referring to when he stated they traded way way way up.

I didn't know Glock made one of those models.

Edited to add: Maybe it is the new Obama administration approved version??

Your photos must be posted on a hosting site (like Flicker or Image Shack). Then you use the URL button and put the shortcut to the photos between the boxes.
