Smith & Wesson Sigma SW9VE 9mm Black/Stainless - Stainless/Silver, 4" Barrel, 16+1 Rounds, Polymer Grips, 3-Dot Sights

All was as expected. Great gun

What can I say, I was a First time Gun Owner. I researched a ton, and I was very familiar with Smith & Wesson. This is their entry level 9mm, so it was just what a rookie like me at the time needed, and it fit the bill perfectly! It was Super Simple to Use, to Handle, Field Strip, Clean, etc. In hind sight, I now am more aware of different gun options. Now, I alot more seasoned, and I am Much Much more experienced in the world of guns. For a First time buyer, the SW9VE, or the current model SD9VE, is a Perfect match to get your feet wet in the gun world. I put over 5,000 rounds thru it, and it was a pleasure to shoot at the range with only 2 hiccups in 5k rounds. The trigger was a little heavier than most, but it loosened up, and I was very happy for my 1st purchase.

Excellent firearm, A+++! Highly recommended.

All in all, this is a decent pistol, with my only issue being with the trigger pull, as it tended to be quite heavy, so range time was hindered due to fatigue in the hand. That having been said, never had a FTE, misfire or issue aside from the trigger pull. Feels good in the hand and a consistent piece.

I like S&W - I have since traded in on a revolver - my preference.

I bought this first purchase from bids. I couldn’t have been happier. That was years ago and only paid $250. Should’ve bought. A cpl more

This is the worst handgun I own and could not ever get a group on target. This thing was all over the place.

This is a nice pistol. It is very ergonomic. The trigger is too stiff. It is accurate out to 25 yards for me.

Well made, robust, simple design. Noteworthy is that the SW9VE model does not have the Picatinny rail, whereas the SD9/40 and the SD9/40VE have the Picatinny rail. In many ways, this pistol looks and works a lot like a Glock 17 (e.g., takedown system is the same and reportedly was copied directly from the Glock). This is a reliable, accurate pistol known for having a longish, somewhat stiff trigger. Not that you can't learn to use it, but it takes some practice; the trigger feels more like a revolver than a nice single action pistol like a 1911 or a P-series Sig. The "Sigma" series of S&W pistols had a rocky start and earned a mediocre reputation early, but has gotten better and better as it went along, and if purchased at a good price point, is a great value for the money.

2nd Gun ever owned. Great price. 15 + 1 , 2 mags, Double Action, NO SAFETY (don't think I've ever needed this on safety however.) I've run several thousand rounds through this workhorse without issue. Little big to conceal but I'm 6'1" so it doe not stand out. I'd love to grab a lighter, smaller one for carry conceal. WORKHORSE RELIABLE OH WAIT... SMITH & WESSON PRICELESS......
