I'm now an IN Gun Owner

[Erebus]

Ri22o and I spent the better part of yesterday visiting the gun shops around Indy and I ended up with the Smith & Wesson SW9VE. I wanted the p99, but for my first pistol purchase I decided to go with something a little more budget minded. Also, S&W has the $50 rebate and two free magazine deal going on right now.

Congrats. I'm sure that the wife will be totally into it.

 

[Erebus]

Haha, I was telling her about the awesome selection of rifles at Bradis and she asked why I didn't get one. I told her one would be brought home at some point.

Welcome to the club.

 

[Ri22o]

We'll go shoot it this weekend.

I'm in the process of ordering some more ammo right now.

 

[Dave]

Congratulations on the purchase and be safe!

 

[Pete-FWA]

Congratulations on your purchase!

I like the two-tone look.

I have 0 experience with that pistol. How much was it if you don't mind me asking.

$329, IIRC. S&W also has a promo right now for a $50 rebate and 2 hi-cap mags.

 

[Fenway]

Is that the "Sigma"

Is that the "Sigma"

I do believe so.

 

[Erebus]

Roger that.

I've hear mixed things on that gun but I hope yours does well and you enjoy it.

I agree. I have been reading about it from other owners. The majority of the folks like them and have shot several hundred to a couple thousand rounds with no issues. I'll let you guys know what I think about it after next weekend

 

[ARININ]

i got that gun for $99 about 3 months ago when i got my SW MP15T

Not a bad gun, consider it a glock as far as action and design.

REALLY HEAVY TRIGGER THOUGH like 12 lbs



I like my Beretta 92FS Centurion way better !!!!

But welcome to the club

 

[Scutter01]

I had that one in a .40 a while back. It wasn't a bad gun, but I didn't like the ridiculously heavy trigger pull. I ended up trading it for a Glock.

 

[shamowfski]

I was going to post on the heavy trigger pull as well. My friend has one, and has put a couple thousand rounds through it without a problem.

He shot my PX4 last weekend for the first time though and was out looking for one this weekend .

Good going on the pistol..........

I think most of the bad press, save for the heavy trigger pull, came from the earlier Sigma series models, not so much the current production.

Most of what I hear these days is POSITIVE, except the trigger issue, of course.

My theory is a lot of the slam jobs come from people with zero experience with the Sigma -- like myself -- and just parrot what they have heard.

Same deal with Ruger, Kahr, and a couple of other trademark names........
