This is part 2 of a 5 part series by some guy named Jeff. Of all the stuff I saw on youtube this was the best in my opinion.
I won't post here what I did to my gun. But if you want to know PM me and I will tell you.
Just a FYI note about Taurus, they are made in Brazil and the customer service is NOT good. I own a Taurus PT145 Mil Pro. I also have a Kel-Tec P11. The Taurus has the best trigger, The P11 and the Sigma are about equal.
Additional note, S&W has come out with a NEW pistol, the SD40 & SD9. Very close to the Sigma but with an improved trigger and night sights. However it is more expensive than a Sigma and uses a different magazine. If this one ever gets a rebate that puts the final price below $300 I think it would be the winner.
I was just trying to point out that at $300 minus the $50 rebate you could get a made in the USA gun with an excellent lifetime warranty that shot pretty good.
I thought it was information worth passing on. I'm not saying everybody should have one, or buy this don't buy that.
Regards, OE

Not the best, but good enough
May I present some information for your consideration?
Best gun, worst gun, adequate gun, expensive gun, cheap gun, resonably priced gun.
Everybody has their own opinion.
The Smith & Wesson Sigma series of pistols are made in the USA, they have a lifetime warranty. I have heard that the S&W customer service is very good. Even to the point that they will supply you with a prepaid mailing lable to return a pistol for service. They are plastic and stainless steel, not much to rust other than a few springs and pins.
The Sigmas have been on sale in the past around Houston and on the internet in the $289-$319 range. From the end of 2009 to April 30 2010 S&W was offering a $50 rebate or 2 free magazines.
I bought one in April. I had read on the internet that they had a terrible DOA trigger. I also had read about do it yourself trigger mods.
I did a do it yourself trigger job on mine.

That's 45 rounds fired at 25 feet with a two handed grip.
I can't do any better than that with a Sig P229 that costs 3 times what the Sigma cost.
Maybe if I got some professional training or practiced more I could shoot a tighter group.
It is good enough for me. I feel safe to defend myself.
I like to try different things. I think the Sigma was worth the money. It won't replace my Sigs or Glocks, but I wouldn't be worried if it was the only thing I had.
I know it's not up to Mr. Camps standards, but that's my report on the Sigma.
