Recently, my wife and myself took the Texas CHL class as a step to prepare to carry weapons with us as we begin traveling on our bikes. We started last year pulling a trailer and camping out and realized how exposed we were to the cazyness of the world. Nowhere to hide on a motorcycle or in a tent. She just got her license in the mail yesterday. Right after the class, she had hastily went out and bought her/our first gun by the feel in her hand only. It is a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm. It has had alot of problems jamming and went back to the factory within the first week and was gone for two weeks. We have it back now and it still has problems but not as much. She has,from the beginning had to use both of her first fingers on both hands to pull the trigger. S&W said they would not alter the trigger when they took it in for the jamming. She gave up on it and now it is "mine". I have no problem with the trigger and since I have not really done any shooting, would not even know how hard it is to pull compared to others. It groups well, it is just the jamming that is so frustrating, especially since S&W took a close look at it and declared it good to go. We have shot about 500 rounds through it and have had about 25 to 30 jams, sometimes several in a row. The CHL class advised against modifying for a "hair trigger" below factory specs because past legal cases indicate intent if it was used in a shooting. All new to me!
