when i had a sigma, i carried it in a Fobus paddle holster. I think it was the HK1 model.

i had a laser as well, but didn't really find it all that useful...maybe i was doing it wrong lolz

For $400 you could have had a better gun minus the light show.

Lasers are for Concerts and Hollywood.

The Sigma is not a bad gun, I had one and it is VERY accurate if you do your part, the problem is the trigger.

I had a .40 Sigma. I bought it as a truck gun and ended up carrying it. Very reliable, it does have a stiff trigger pull, but for some reason it did not effect my shooting like such triggers tend to do on other weapons for me. Some Glock 17/19ish sized holsters fit. One of my favorite holsters that I had picked up for it, was a Safariland Model 518 Paddle Holster. I bought the holster used, and I still use it to this day for some of my CZ pistols. It has held up very well.

As far as pricing on the Sigma goes...I'd check with Bradis. Used Sigmas can usually be had at a bargain. Or you could check out some of the online retailers, buy it, and have it transferred to a dealer near you.

I too, would skip the laser. The big hassle of having one if fitting it with a holster. Also, unless they've changed it, the rail on the Sigma is proprietary. You won't find anything else to fit on it. I believe the S&W Self Defense 9 has a picatinny rail on it, and is otherwise the same gun, so that might be another option for you if you want to mount lights/lasers on in the future.

I am not completely against laser sights and think they do have some benefits, but you say this is your first handgun. I would focus plenty on getting used to shooting using the standard sights first before using the laser. Just my but I would not want to be reliant on the laser and then if it failed to work for some reason you are not familiar with your weapon's sight picture. Congrats on your purchase!

I had a SIGMA 40, While it was accurate, the trigger was long & heavy, you have to practice alot with the trigger pull, to be a good shot

 

[fergie22]

i had 2 sigmas at one time and found them very reliable and comfortable to shoot at least for me

 

[trnsplntfrmohio]

dude, that's a 200 dollar gun new.

don't buy crap from gander mountain.

dude, that's a 200 dollar gun new.

Show me a link where you can buy a new sigma for $200. I find that very hard to believe.

Id buy a .40 and 9mm for that...

Most shops have them in the $299 range and I have seen as low as $285 online.

 

[rimfire_crazed]

Can buy them all day long for $289 online. Skip the laser. Learn to shoot.

I have one in .40 that was $250 after transfer and rebate. Rock solid reliable. You can learn to shoot the Sigma trigger if you're willing.

dude, that's a 200 dollar gun new.

I'd like to know where you shop for guns.

 

[Dewidmt]

I bought a new Sigma SW40VE for $275....skip the laser.

 

[Firstshot1]

Sigma 9

Nice gun, but are you purchasing for self-defense or learning how to shoot?

 

[Michiana]

OK deal depending on which laser

Just put a sigma 9 mm w/ laserlite on it in layway @ gander mountain ad says laserlite is $149.99 value I told my self that i would not buy a guy @gander mountain it was $399.99+tax this is my first handgun did I do good on this purchase I dont know what kind of hostler I want any feed back would help

Not sure exactly what gun you are buying but the Sigma 9mm (SW9VE) retails for around $350 so depending on what sight comes with it you are getting a so-so deal. If you are getting a rear sight laser you are getting a decent deal. Gander is not the discount center of the world for gun sales. The rear site laser for the VE selling for $150 is a decent deal. Getting both for $399 you need to add in 7% sales tax you wouldn't pay buying on line.

I suggest to my customers to go on Buds Guns and Gunbroker and see what the gun is SELLING for, not listed to sell at and go from there. You need to factor in the IN sales tax and any transfer fee to come up with a comparable price.

Gander is having a "big" firearms sale right now. Brings their prices down from "ridiculously overpriced" to just "high" on selected items.

Some stuff isn't bad. I'm buying a bunch of Federal 525 .22lr packs for $15. Normally $21.

To the OP, skip the laser. Spend $350 on the S&W SD9 and you'll have a decent gun you won't want to upgrade right away.

Purchasing to do both

 

[gunman41mag]

I buy my guns from the internet

 

[SgtBaker_21]

I bought a Sigma 40 from GM two years ago with the laser for $349. The gun has worked perfectly, but the laser is worthless to me. It turns off & on while I'm shooting & it never stays sighted. Like everyone has said, skip the laser. Just my .

 

[gunman41mag]

I wouldn't pay $400 for a SIGMA, I would get a gun with a better trigger

 

[ruger1968]

Went to a gun show and bought 4 boxes of ammo for my gun that I bought and went to one of the ranges and put all 4 boxes of ammo in about 30 min
