SW9VE sigma trigger

[David W. Downs]

I'm the sad (have to user) user of a 9mm Smith Sigma. It has about 500lbs of trigger pull and I would like very much some ideas of how to remove about 495lbs of it. Any sugestions;?

I looked at Sigmas yesterday for the first time; never did before because of all the trash-talking about them, mainly on GT. I must say, it felt GREAT, better than Glock. I started to want one...until I dry-fired it. The trigger SUCKS, and I know exactly what you mean.

I have a NY trigger spring wtih 5.5-lb. connector on my G33 and I thought THAT was heavy! I asked the gunsmith at the dealer if there was anything that could be done with it to lighten it up a little and he said "absolutely nothing", then he tried to sell me a Springfield XD for $518 plus tax.

I really want to give Smith autos another fair try soon. Might be a 5903, 4003, Sigma, or MP.

This worked for me http://smith-wessonforum.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/520103904/m/744101096/r/744101096#744101096 you be the judge.

thanks for the link electraglide....just the info that was needed;a ;a

I bought a Sigma SVE9mm brand new for $299 at a gun show. How could I go wrong? I sold it two months later because of the trigger pull.

[Bonzer]

P.S. an MP is another stab at the Sigma

[electraglide]

Glad I could help Dave. Let me know how it works out for you.

Followed the directions plus added a Wolff reduced power striker spring. My Sigma now has a VERY nice trigger considering what the original was like. Thanks electraglide!

[electraglide]

You're welcome tjpet, glad to help. Personally I wanted to avoid lightening the striker spring. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Nah, it's S&W's stab at the P2000, XD and Beretta Px4.

Dave,

If you have one of the newer generation Sigmas then that's just the way it is. A magazine article stated the Smith did that on purpose to avoid litigation. Think of it as simular to the New York style trigger. They're very heavy over their. Just a thought. You might find out if you can get a smith to swap out the springs in the trigger mechanism. Otherwise look inside the frame and carefully oil all the linkages and pivot points. Otherwise that's just the way it is. Perhaps it'll get lighter after much usage. Springs usually will get lighter.

He's done some work for me (on an XD) and I was pretty happy with it. You might check his Sigma work.

People over on the Smith & Wesson forum seem very happy with the trigger job invented by a guy named Sharpstick. His instructions are contained in the link previously posted. I think at takes about 10 minutes and drops the trigger back to about 6 pounds or so. I was going to do the job on a Sigma that I used to own...but I sold it instead.

I've had my SW9VE for over a year, and the trigger pull does improve after about 500 rounds. I'm happy with the pistol, and have had no failures to feed, fire, etc. after about 1500 rounds fired. It ain't my 1911, but, it is a very accurate pistol for the $$$. Paid around 270.00 out the door at Academy Sports last year.

i once owned that gun. had it over 2 years. it was my first gun. the trigger pull is bad, but it's just as accurate as a glock IMO. i tried all the local gunsmiths, and they wouldn't touch my gun with a 10 ft pole as far as a trigger job went. so i took matters into my own hands.....i sold the gun to a buddy and bought a Glock 22!;P ;e

Me too. I bought a new 40VE for $275...sold it for $325...and put the money toward a Glock 22.
