Heavy trigger with a long pull. I did not like mine. There's a reason you can get them for under $400 almost anywhere.

I have heard good about the s&w mp they seem almost like my glock, but very glad I went glock over sigma

The M&P is no Sigma. The M&P seems like a decent gun, the Sigma is garbage. Stay away, FAR AWAY from the Sigma. I could bore you with how many came in for warrenty work when I part timed at Gander, but instead Google it, there's some fun reads about Sigma's out there!

M&P is by far a better gun, but still has the long trigger pull that I did not like.

I have one in the .40S&W.
It's extremely reliable. I have well over 1,000 rounds through mine and not a single FTF or FTE on just about every kind of ammo they make for it. The down side is the trigger pull makes it uncomfortable to shoot more than 50 rounds without taking a long break. Your finger WILL hurt. Grips are just o.k. Sights suck and the gun is only average at best for accuracy over 15 yards, and I'm sure the trigger has something to do with that.
With that said, there is no doubt in my mind that this gun will go bang if I need it to, no matter what I feed into it.

I agree with Lash, I have had zero problems with mine. I have the girl version though, 9mm.

The trigger pull seems to be the biggest complaint from what ive been reading online. I guess all I can do is let him know what i've found and go take a look for our selves thanks for the input guys.

My Dad bought a Sigma at the same time I bought my Taurus Millennium Pro. 2006ish maybe? I think we each paid $300. Both .40, both have around 6,000 rounds through them. His jammed once on a handload we bought at auction. Mine has never jammed. Probably 3,000 rounds through each have been handloads.

My only complaint about the Sigma are the stamped-steel parts.

My M&P pro doesn't have a long or heavy pull but it is a Pro.

Sigmas are usually on sale for $299, MSRP is only $395. So you're not going to get a match gun at that price range.

That's just it he's not looking for a match gun just something that goes bang when the trigger is pulled and that he can go to the range with.

Have him try one out, if the trigger pull doesn't bother him, its a decent gun.

You get what you pay for

so he got a sigma? in .40 or 9mm I think they all have the stainless slide right?

[-stew-]

I like mine in .40 Cal. Trigger pull seems ok for what it is. Buddy at work has one in 9mm and has had trigger issues from the word go. Mine was free, so I have no complaints!

I recently got one in .40 and took it shooting a few times. The trigger was so long and hard that I ended up shooting low all the time... so I did the trigger mod today. Now it has a light pull (still long though) but it's much more manageable. I have been having a LOT of problems with jams though (before trigger mod, haven't actually fired with ammo it since I did it). I think it's the ammo I use. I started off with a couple boxes of Wolf that came with it, had a bunch of jams. Then I went to some Aguila and I'm having even more jams. Today I cleaned the mags so I am hoping that will help.

Any ammo reccomendations for it? It's not a big deal at the range, but if this CCW passes, I plan to carry it, but not if it's not going to be reliable.

Yea he got the sigma in a .40 with a stainless slide as for ammo recommendations I use winchester white box for range ammo in my taurus .40 and winchester pdx1 for sd ammo. I've heard that the wolf stuff isn't very good so I've stayed away from it.

I agree. My only compliant was the trigger. I did add a Hogue generic grip to the one I had and that made holding it much more comfortable for me. I do have giant hands though!!
