And you absolutely gotta have a thumb safety, you can get that too.<br /><br />Although I haven't seen anyone torture test one like that Glock-boy did on online. What, about 10K rounds without cleaning, tossed form an airplane, etc.?

Right when they came out, I snapped one up in .40 S&W, and I shot it and shot it and shot it.<br /><br />It felt great in the hand . . . except for, you know, that whole "index finger" thingy. That part, not so good. The trigger pull managed to be long, mushy, indeterminate, pretty much everything you don't want in a trigger. Ended up swapping it for a Taurus PT92, which I vastly, vastly preferred.<br /><br />My faith in S&W took a huge hit with the Sigma.<br /><br />If we wanted to equip the Afghans with cheap and dirty 9mms, we should have bought them Rugers.Hunsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188706369004532171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-72650074633923651222009-10-06T20:55:10.497-04:002009-10-06T20:55:10.497-04:00We must not trust the Afghan police very much.We must not trust the Afghan police very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-36164362041765261052009-10-06T17:30:41.849-04:002009-10-06T17:30:41.849-04:00Where have all the Sigma's gone?
