well it was started by someone who still only has 1 post..fate, I guess..
I smell something.
All of the sigma love postings are from people with extremely low post counts, some even as low as one. When I google a firearm and see a post on a forum that I disagree with, I don't sign up just to spout some technobabble to compare the trigger to a Glock.
If they're legit, then I apologize. But I don't think they are.
I would agree with this post, and yes I am a new-be and this is my first post, and yes I found this thread on Google. I like many others removed the pigtail spring first thing on my SW9F. It made a world of difference on the trigger pull. The SW9F does not have the outer spring like the newer Sigmas so I did not remove, stretch, or cut an outer spring. I then did a polish job on everything that moves and makes contact with anything else and felt quite pleased with my $225 second hand gun.so after reading many posts regarding removal of the "pigtail" spring, I did so and also highly polished all internals. Just to note, this "pigtail" spring has nothing at all to do with how hard the trigger pull is!!!! That spring is there to reset the sear when the gun gets cocked back from shooting a live round, and resets the next cycle. By removing that spring, if you were to hold down the trigger, the next round would not be cocked since that spring is not there to "KICK" back the sear for the next round.
Experiment: Cock the gun, pull back the slide, pull the trigger, hold the trigger down and recock the gun. Nothing will happen!!! It will not rearm itself. Why, because the sear has no spring to push it back!!!
All I did was highly polish all my metal on metal contacts, on the sear, the trigger arm and alittle on the slide itself. This substantially decreased the trigger pull!!!
I have a question about the trigger reset length. After a couple of hundred rounds thru my SW40VE and a lot of dry fire practice, the weight of the trigger is not an issue. I still feel a bit of grit, especially when doing an especially slow trigger pull, so I need to polish the internals as described above. What I want to know is how to shorten the length the trigger has to travel after firing round before the trigger resets.
Will this require some significant gunsmithing?
Come on, the forums are full of them...Suspicious because it's about a Sigma where all you hear is what a POS it is? Hey, this thread is years old....I have a sneaky suspicion that we have been victims of a drive by advertiser.

I had no problem with it and loved it until I bought a Glock 19. After a while of it sitting in its case, I decided to have the striker spring replaced and it is once again one of my favorite guns.
