S&W Sigma 40 Trigger?

[n2k]

Trigger Kits-

I've done a full search (no luck) and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a trigger kit for this gun?

The reduced power striker springs are supposed to reduce the trigger pull. I ordered three and haven't gotten around to putting them in yet (me being at college and my firearms being at home). Aside from this I have never seen a trigger kit and believe me I've searched.

There is also supposed to be an unnecessary spring somewhere in the gun that you can remove and reduce trigger pull. I have only read about it, never seen a tutorial or anything describing the spring or where exactly it is.

You can also polish the internals.

I am very interested. My first and only handgun is a SW40VE. I have been too immersed with BRD to research and learn more about my Sigma and handguns in general. However I do feel that the trigger pull could be much better on my Sigma. Anybody else have experience with the Wolff Striker Spring for the S&W Sigma .40?

This thread prompted me to go back and see what has been said in the last year or so since I last tried to find something and turned up this http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=264410 it seems this guy/place will do a FREE trigger job.

It has also been discussed that the wolf spring that I posted the link to will lower the pull a little but might cause light primer strikes causing a FTF. I'm planning on still trying the spring and seeing what the results are. I have two extras if either of you are in the SF Bay Area or Santa Cruz and want one.

ETA: There are lots and lots of threads on this and trigger jobs that others have done if you google "sw sigma tigger job".

I too have been researching about the Sigma trigger jobs on the S&W Forum. It seems that a lot have actually cut about 1/8" off of the striker spring and polished the sear to improve the trigger pull. I am not trying to do all of that. Some have even recommended to remove the second sear spring completely. I am also not trying to do that. If I don't find the no doubt way to go, I will stay with the heavy factory trigger pull.

sigma trigger

no trigger kits available. the wolf reduced power minimally helps but has the disadvantage of producing failures to fire. i owned a sigma for about a year good gun for the price, it ate everything i fed it, but there is no fixin that trigger.
i sold mine after a year.
i might have a couple of the wollff reduced power springs pm me if interested.

you can only do so much to them and stay reliable.

the best thing you can do is shoot a few K. things will smooth up and you will get used to the trigger.

I put the Wolff striker and recoil springs on my SW40VE. The striker spring caused intermittent issues igniting the primers, and the recoil spring was too heavy for the slide to cycle properly using normal loads.

I ended up returning re-installing the stock springs and am back to 100% reliability. I've just learned to accept it for what it is.

You might want to trade it in on an M&P. They have much better triggers than the Sigma. Especially the newer ones (i.e. made within the last year).

Naw, not me at least. It's a cheap gun which is why I bought it (I was a poor college student at the time). When they are advertised new for $300, how much does one think they can get for it?

In it's stock configuration, mine has been very reliable. My suggestion is just accept it for what it is: a cheap yet reliable gun.

(That'd said, I'd love an M&P.... someday. )

I had a Sigma 40.

P.O.S. I hate the trigger and I couldn't get comfortable shooting that damn thing. I got rid of it and bought a Glock and never looked back.

[SanSacto]

Yeah, I do wish now I got a M&P. But the Sigma is my first gun and I will have it forever no matter how bad the trigger sucks!

I wish more people could understand this.... Its a FINE gun for the Money. BUT, once you try something NICE... its hard to shoot it again

I have a Sigma .40VE. I've put the Wolff spring in, it helped a little I think but that's subjective as I didn't have a stock Sigma or a pull gauge to really know the difference. It could have all been placebo for all I know.

I have since done a fair amount of polishing. First with emery cloth, then with my Dremel. I didn't use any grinding or polishing attachments on the Dremel, just the wire brush and polish. Follow the directions on the S&W Forum for polishing, though I'd advise against cutting the springs. There have been discussions....more like fights...on that board over whether or not to do this. My thoughts are if you want to improve what you've got and like the gun, do the polishing. It takes maybe an hour. If you want a target gun with a target trigger, buy another gun.

You don't need a trigger kit for Sigmas

The Sigma trigger is the most over-engineered thing I've ever seen in a modern hangun. You can do a trigger job on the gun yourself just by removing two of the THREE springs in the trigger group. There is a leaf spring and a large and small coil spring. Get rid of the leaf and large coil spring. The small coil spring is all that is needed to fire the striker. I did this to my 40 and in about 1,000 rounds I have never had a FTF.

And BTW, for those about to jump on me for advocating this in a CCW situation, I would not do that. This is for target and fun shooting only.
