Information on the Smith and Wesson Sigma series pistol. When the Sigma entered the scene Glock arms filed lawsuit on Smith and Wesson for copying their firearms. A few changes later and the pistol was up and running. It takes down very similar to a Glock, most of the insides also resemble a Glock. It is a striker fired pistol made of a polymer frame with steel inserts in the plastic which the slide runs on, the slide is made up of steel coming in either black or a stainless finish. One difference is the grip angle is a little different than Glock, and the light rail is one of their own designs. It is very difficult to find a light that will fit it. I believe Insight model 3 or perhaps 4 is made just for that pistol, but I am sure there is a more accurate source on the website of Insight. The trigger pull was one of a combat weapon, which in a survival mode no one needs a hair trigger. It was not horrible, just not a target trigger. It seemed the sights were easy to pick-up and get off a quick second shot, all important when you may need to fire a pistol in self defense. It came with two 15 round magazines, steel sides with a plastic base plate. There appeared to be no damage when practicing tactical drills or doing speed loads when dropping the magazine to the ground intentionally,very durable. Upon shooting the Sigma I had zero failure to feeds or failure to fire. I like to use as many different odd ball shells as possible. These days that seems a little harder to do, but this test was four or five years ago. I do still own the pistol today with no problems in the unit whatsoever. It compares in size and weight to a Glock 19. It does have a three white dot sight configuration which seems to be appropriate for the sight radius. I believe e MSRP would be around $375-400. At gunshows the used gun price should hover around $350 , due to the demand for pistols right now. I do not believe the Sigma is still being offered new from Smith and Wesson. They have changed the accessory rail to a picatiny type and some other small cosmetics and renamed it a SD9 VE or SD40 VE. I seems to still be relatively bargain priced with two magazines. I believe the SD stands for Self Defense. The trigger on the SD seems about the same as the Sigma as does the takedown procedure. I hope this information is helpful to some of the wolf pack readers. As always shoot straight and be safe….
