Dawg Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Going to get this today, what ya'll think? It's a NIB S&W Sigma 9mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 When I was looking for a new gun most folks were not very complementary of the Sigma. That may explain the lack of replies on here. I ended up going with a Glock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yea I read some reviews on it and like everything else, there was good and bad. I take reviews with a grain of salt as my expectations might not be what someone elses is. I don't do a whole lot of sport shooting or anything of that nature and I wasn't looking for all the bells and whistles that some guns have, all I need it to do is fire one shot if the time ever comes. So far I have nothing to complain about with the Sigma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry hunter Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Congrats, got one question for ya, why a 9mm? I carried a 45 govt for three years then the military shifted to the baretta 92f in 9mm cause it got more rounds. I ended up getting rid of my SW 459 (9mm) and traded it strait across for a Ruger P90Dc (45) I personally don't trust(I met a survivor of 23 9mm hits at a street survival seminar in miami) a 9mm but it the owners choice of caliber that they are happy with. Not meant to be disrespectful or demeanor your choice just courious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struttinhoyt Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I personally don't trust(I met a survivor of 23 9mm hits at a street survival seminar in miami) a 9mm but it the owners choice of caliber that they are happy with. Sure the 45 is one deadly sucker... but me personally when it comes to the point I aint lookin to kill... I'm lookin to cause some straight up pain... you can make anything do the trick... 9MM your gettin more shots for the buck... I had a super blackhawk .44 mag, swapped it got a 92FS 9mm, Swapped it and got a Ruger Mark III target barrel .22.... and I can promise ya that at even over 100 yds things are in my favor... personally I loved all of em... Sometime change is just cool Good looking gun man... get out and shoot that thing... thats what their intended for!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Congrats, got one question for ya, why a 9mm? Got a great deal on it for one. I'm not all about "big caliber", as I said in my previous post, my expectations probably aren't what others are. Not trying to toot my own horn but I can shoot pretty decent and all it takes is one shot, 9mm, .45, .40 or a .22, doesn't matter. I know of lives that have been lost due to one .22 bullet before. A person that survived 23 shots from a 9 must have some unfinished business here on this world, evidently it wasn't his/her time to go. Not meant to be disrespectful or demeanor your choice just courious. Never took it that way bud! :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not meant to be disrespectful or demeanor your choice just courious. i feel the same way you do man. I couldn't stand the 9mm when they took our 1911's away and didn't like the 9mm when i worked in law enforcement either. Given the choice then I took the 40cal over the 9mm and now that i'm just a civilian i have gone back to packin a 1911. I've seen way to many guys get up or keep fightin when hit from a 9mm. It just plain moves to fast to cause major damage and when lives count on the bullet, you want major damage. If you're going to shoot someone, shoot to kill, a wounded attacker is still very much a dangerous one, especially if armed. that being said, you should shoot what ever you feel the most comfortable shooting. Also, do not practice with a bullet you aren't going to use. i.e. if you are going to use a hollow point round for protection, don't practice with a ball round. the bullets preform differently and it could be enough of a diference to mean life or death. jmho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 That's a nice looking gun there Dawg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I had one but sold it. I don't care for striker type pistols. That said I really did like shooting the Sigma. It was good looking, easy to shoot, and reliable. I too have heard some negatives but the one I had was a good pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
