    Welcome to the forum.I just bought my 200th handgun.My first handgun was a Randall 1911 which is still in my safe.Enjoy your sigma.Just be sure to change the recoil spring after about 1500 rounds.I have had the 9mm and 40 sigmas and had to change the springs on both after 1500 rounds.How many mags did you get with it?

    To celebrate the Scotus ruling, just picked up a new Kimber Ultra Carry II, believe it may retire my PM9 for carry, at least when it's cold here (I think it will be cold Jan7 this year). Anybody carry an Ultra, have any comments pro or con?

    Welcome to the forum.
    You asked for opinions of the Sigma. I have a Sigma SW9VE that has about 3000 rounds through it with no failures of ANY kind. Very dependable, accurate, great ergonomics and a no B.S. warranty if you ever need it.
    You will hear lots of criticism of the Sigmas due to problems with the older models. The VE series are much improved.
    A lot of people don't like the hard and long trigger but the Sigma was designed as a defensive weapon with a trigger much like a double action revolver. The harder trigger makes it a little harder to have a accidental or negligent discharge.
    All that said, I seldom take my Sigma to the range anymore since I now have a CZ 75B 9mm and two S & W, MP's that I love. I will probably always keep my Sigma as a dependable home or car defensive weapon.
    My next pistol will be the new MP 9Pro. http://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstore/SmWesson/upload/other/ps/M&P9_ProSeries.pdf
