My Sigma after a S&W tune-up...

[ZO6Vettever]

In the first 425 rounds, 7 light primer strikes, 2 stovepipes and a trigger that felt mushy. I sent it back to S&W. They returned it with a new recoil rod and spring, said they modified the barrel and trigger. The feed ramp was polished and the throat opened up, not sure what they did with the trigger. Yesterday I put 273 mixed JHP and FMJ down the pipe with no malfs. The trigger is still long and hard (that's a good thing, right?) but the mushy feel is gone and you know when it is about to break. My neighbor is retired NYPD and he said it was the best DAO he has ever fired. It has an all together differant feel to it now. Before you sell, modify or change springs I would let S&W do the voodoo they do so well. Ten days turn around and they pay shipping!

I've have heard the trigger pulls straight from factory are real nasty on the sigma's. Being a long and hard pull most people don't like them. From what I hear they are more than a 8lb trigger. I am more accustomed to the 5lb trigger pull, so I am sure I wouldn't like it. Was this a free of charge modifications they did due to the failures? It sounds like its a much better firearm now, since the mods.

S&W has excellant customer service. though im not a big fan of the sigma series im glad they cleaned up your pistol for you.

Chris, I read somewhere the trigger pull is 10-10.5 lbs. but don't know for sure. People do all kinds of stuff like Wolf 3.5 lb. springs, cutting springs to leaving out springs and they end up with light strikes. OK for the range but not self defense. They ain't the best hammer in the box but they still drive nails.
