My First Firearm Purchase

My Sigma

The Gun

A few weeks ago I ended up buying a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9MM Pistol. I had wanted a hand gun for some time for personal and property protection. There was a lot of unrest and rumors going around my area after hurricanes Rita and Katrina, and at the time I would have felt safer knowing that I had a firearm in my home.

I had done some research and wanted to get a Glock. When I went to Academy the showed me the S&W Sigma. The Sigma is a clone based off the Glock (so much so that Glock sued Smith and Wesson, and S&W Settled). I read reviews online and the main negative seemed to be the excessive trigger pull on the Sigma. Because of the few cons, and the Sigma being 1/2 the cost (I paid about $330 for it w/ 2 Magazines and 2 Extra via Rebate) I decided to buy the Sigma.

The Experience

Left Handed, 10 Rounds at 7 Yards

A few days after my purchase I went with some co-workers to a shooting range. I loved shooting the gun! It was my first time ever shooting a hand gun, I didn’t find it to hard to use / aim and I was happy with my shooting results. I did get to fire a few other guns while I was there. I quickly went through a 100 rounds of ammo.

I am happy with the Sigma. If I would have known how much fun I was going to have shooting, I probably would have purchased the Glock. The trigger pull causes a little hesitation when shooting, allowing the gun to wobble around a little while pulling the trigger. I found with the other weapons that had a lighter trigger pull, I was more accurate. If this is a home protection gun, it doesn’t matter that much. For something that you want to take to the range and target shoot with often, I would recommend the Glock.
