I like mine so much I just had meprolight sights put on it.
Kinda reminds me of the old joke…how do you double the value of a Yug…er, Sigma…
You fill the tan…er, put night sights on it!
I was horrible at first because of the trigger, now that I'm used to it I'm fairly accurate and also better with EVERY other gun I own.
Now you’re getting it grasshopper!
Kinda like training with ankle weights, ain’t it?
As a former bicyclist, my training bike had all kinds of junk/weight on it (and folks often laughed at it), but when I went to my racebike…boy could I fly uphill!
As stated earlier-folks that whine about the trigger might consider using the Sigma as a training tool since nobody seems to learn on DA revolvers any more.
They might find as the poster in here did that his shooting improved as he learned how to use the Sigma’s heavier trigger.
Also, having one in the pipe while carrying is a nonissue… Unless you plan on squeezing the trigger while your weapon is holstered or you sqeeze it while you are removing it from you holster, then there is no issue with having a round in the chamber.
Really?
If you’ll read long enough, you’ll see reports of guns that “don’t need no stinkin’ safety” discharging by snagging a windbreaker waist drawstring etc.
Then there’s
this...
Now…we don’t know for sure, but the paper makes it sound like it was not in a holster?
I checked with the guys at the gun shop, and they say word was it was a Glock (local PD carries Glocks, and since he was retired local PD...).
(Perhaps the individual should have read Ayoob’s take on Mexican carry with a Glock vs. an XD).
Local gun store is selling them for 250 next weekend.
‘Bout what I paid for ‘em (maybe slightly less) back when I was building my S&W luggage collection (free bags with purchase).
If I ran across one for $250 today, there’s a good chance I might walk out with it (can always use another truck gun)!
The majority of police departments have Glocks and their officers usually carry a full mag and one in the chamber.
And no doubt a number of folks that don’t carry with one in the chamber would do so if they were cops. After all…how many times a day does a cop have a confrontation with a criminal vs. the average citizen?
Rather than automatically denigrate folks who don’t carry with one in the pipe (which seems to happen a lot in here), perhaps those folks should simply be viewed as thoughtful individuals that have weighed the odds, thought of the ramifications of an AD, and decided accordingly.
What really scares me is the number folks that "don't need no stinkin' safety" carrying in horizontal shoulder rigs!
