Couldn't agree more with Robert M (07/20/2012). I bought mine in 03/2012 because of the price & the S&W name. I have a couple of their outstanding revolvers and didn't think they could make a bad gun. The gun was stone reliable, but accurate, no! A friend with a Glock 27 was embarrassing me until he let me shoot his gun. I realized it wasn't me after that. I got a trigger job, which helped some but not enough. I didn't buy the gun for competitive shooting but at the least I'd like to be able to shoot consistent groups. Mine were low & to the left, which I attribute to the trigger pull, but I couldn't get any groups within 10" at 15 yards. If it weren't a S&W, I'd only give it 2 stars. I'm giving it 3 stars because the S&W name allowed me to sell it without taking a loss.

The gun is wonderful to shoot. Yet my only issue is the trigger pull. It feels like I'm going to break my finger after you empty half the mag down the range. Over all I loved the gun its Avery slim carrying gun from my stand point. I do thank Budsgunshop. Also Pickler as well. Both companies are great and would not go any where else.

trigger pull too hard to drop the hammer without extreme effort by myself or the two rangemasters where I shoot. $150.00 fix available on line. So what. So,for me this gun is a POS. And the last weapon I buy from Smith. I was so P.O'ed I sold it to my FFL for $200.00 before I Threw it dodwn a sewer. If my life had depended on this weapon, I'd be dead. Up yours S&W.

P.S. Bud's service was A as usual.

I purchased my Sigma 9ve when I was in the market for a no-frills rock-solid “affordably” priced 9mm full-size tactical pistol. After tons of research I decided on this model as for $300 one cannot get much more than what S&W has designed into the Sigma 9ve (honestly it has the quality/feel of a Glock ;)). Actually, IMO one could make a valid argument that it is a "better" buy in its totality than the more expensive M&P. –Happy Holidays

Bought this back in Feb 2012. Comes in a nicer cardboard box then some others I've seen. Includes the typical safety manual, cable lock with 2 keys and a spent cartridge dated 12-14-2011 so it hadn't been stored that long before I got it. Some people prefer a plastic hard case however I could care less as I don't store them in their shipping boxes.

Is what it is.. an inexpensive gun put out to sell quantity with the S&W name. The trigger pull is overly long, the trigger weight is about twice (or more) what any semi-auto should be and is more what would be found on a revolver. The trigger was also very gritty in pull. It's got a decent overall weight and grip even though I prefer a grip with at least 1 finger notch.. this doesn't have any. Its price reflects its medium-fair quality plus a bit extra for the stamped S&W on its side. I do have to say it comes with 2 very nice quality stainless 16-round magazines with witness holes. As I do with any new gun it received a full cleaning before hitting the range. The first time I fired it was at 21' and they were all over the place! I found it hard to get a 4" group and even then there were many flyers off by as much as 12"! To be up front here I had just finished firing 200 rounds with a Walther PPQ and these are 2 entirely different handguns. The following week I pulled this out before anything else and found it was still very hard to get any consistent groups. The following week I polished a few internal parts, changed out a trigger spring and a couple other slight changes to help the trigger. Next range trip I was able to get OK 3" groups at 30' however would still have 2 or 3 flyers (within 10") per 16 rounds. To date its likely got about 600 rounds through it and it continues to have flyers. It is reliable as far as pulling the trigger, it sends a bullet down and out the barrel, ejects the casing and chambers a new round. I had 2 FTF which I attribute to the round itself and not the firearm. I can remember only 1 loading issue and that was from the first magazine.. good since.

It is NOT a highly accurate gun and I'd never use it for CC due to the number of flyers. If I ever needed to pull a firearm to defend myself I wouldn't trust this as I'd have to second guess the background. Nope I'll trust my Walther PPS or PPQ for that job. I've passed this over to a few others and a couple range officers and they all experienced the same issue in regards to flyers. I paid 300.00 shipped for it. As a cheap range gun its OK I guess but that's about it. I'll likely sell it off to someone else down the road and use the funds towards something else.

Over all it's a 2.5 star in my book but I'll be nice and round it up to 3 only because it does reliably fire when the trigger is pulled.
