Anyone know of any trigger mods available for the S&W Sigma series? I like the way they feel and look but haven't had a chance to shoot one yet. The thing I keep hearing is that extremely long trigger pull. Just wondering if there was a mod to make them better.
This is the best fix for the Sigma. I tried it and it worked great!
Once again, no love fer the Sigmas!!! And I would imagine most of the haters are gun forum commandos who haven't owned a Sigma! Get it...it's a sturdy, well-made gun that goes bang every time you squeeze the trigger. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The heavy trigger is a plus in my book for a HD/carry weapon. Too many people think that a 2.5-3 pound "breaks like a glass rod" trigger is the end all be all of the handgun world. Maybe for competition, but not when I'm hyped on adrenaline cuz some mugger is takin' pot shots at me or I'm grabbing for a headboard gun still half asleep when somebody busts through a window.
I have heard the newer Sigma's are MUCH better than the first generation. I was issued a first generation Sigma as a duty sidearm back in 1997. I qualified expert with it, it was the first handgun I ever shot with. We had lots of problems with them. We would be on the line and the slide would slingshot off the frame after a shot. The slide release spring broke on a couple of them. We also had a few guns shear off the sear block away from the firing pin, causing the gun to lock up. Took a long time to get the slide off the frame, the broken piece would find its way into a place that would seize the gun up. The trigger is HORRIBLE. I did not know better until I fired a Glock from a recruit next to me that he was issued. He was having trouble with the trigger pull and I just laughed because it was 100 x's easier to pull than that Sigma and I was almost 100%. Not long after I graduated, I ditched the issued Sigma for a G23c that I bought myself.Once again, no love fer the Sigmas!!!

Denny, I was basing my comments on the new Sigmas...I realize some folks may not have any experience with the new ones.
I too, have heard horror stories about the older guns. The newer SW9VE and SW40VE are fine weapons. The new SD9 and 40 from Smith are basically "cleaned up" Sigmas! Better MP type triggers and forward slide serrations, but they want a couple hundred bucks more for them!
Quick fix get a glock and boom problem solved.
