It ain't my rules, I just wa...Hey Pigpen;<br /><br /> It ain't my rules, I just wanted to see how the pistol behaves when fired a lot. I haven't fired it a lot until this weekend and in the past I would infrequently run a magazine through the pistol every couple of years...it just ain't shot much. It is my "truck gun". I remember back when i got it, S&W was not popular with the gun community because of its going along with the Clinton Administration and it trying to get into "smart gun" technology. S&W almost went into bankruptcy and the CEO was forced out. I remembered all of that. I am glad that you carry, I owned a Taurus Millennium and it was a good pistol for what I used it for. I just got a smaller pistol for easier CCW. I owned a couple of CZ(Back when they were on the other side of the Iron Curtain. CZ has a reputation for building good guns for the past 100 years. I will do it a bit different, I will shoot the pistol a lot but I will occasionally clean it and log any misfires and other drama. It will take a while for me to to this, I have to buy the ammo here and there :) I am impressed with the pistol however but I will check into doing a trigger job like Angus recommended.

So running a patch down the barrel when you choose, is just fine. In Tam's case, I think that I can understand how she might not want to, in order to keep everything as exactly the same from one gun to another as possible. <br />As to the Sigma, I remember at one time, when I was first getting into handguns, that this gun got some people saying it was not a good gun. But the longer that I stay involved, the more I see that people that actually own this gun, would never get rid of it. In some ways, I can see it compared to my carry gun, the Taurus Millenium G2. I see many people knock the gun, but those who own one, tend to like it. I know that I love mine, but you can't take that for much, since I am only a rank amatuer. <br />I don't think it is nearly as nice as my son's CZ 2075 Rami, which I have shot, and fell in love with, but my Taurus cost 200$, and his CZ Rami was about 500$. They both serve their purpose, the Taurus gives people like myself, a fairly decent, quality firearm to carry concealed, even if we don't choose to move up in quality at a later date. But the Rami is a gun that, if taken care of, should hold up much better than the Taurus. And it is certainly a higher quality of build compared to the Taurus.<br />Even the double action trigger on the CZ is good. <br />Back to your Tam challenge, I wish you nothing but good results with your pistol, and I know that you will always get someone willing to help you, if you provide the ammo! Seriously, you probably will learn much about not only your Sigma, but also about yourself and how you feel about the gun, after purposefully putting that much lead downrange. And please keep posting about how you are doing. I know that I enjoyed following Tam during her various trials. And while you do document the FTF with the one round, I think that you can blame it on the primer, and not the gun. <br />Anyway, happy shooting, and have a Merry Christmas.pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-25897230633493813442018-11-25T13:41:32.077-05:002018-11-25T13:41:32.077-05:00https://mcthag.blogspot.com/2018/10/my-thats-nice....https://mcthag.blogspot.com/2018/10/my-thats-nice.html<br /><br />That has links to the two kits I applied to FuzzyGeff's Sigma.Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-4975837992742734242018-11-25T07:51:08.162-05:002018-11-25T07:51:08.162-05:00Hey Angus

When I shoot again i will use a pair of thin gloves until I get the trigger replaced.

I left the rest of the pistol as it was but I did clean the barrel. I will work a firearm, but I can't abuse one..They are fun to shoot, they also are an investment and an heirloom item...eventually. I don't get rid of my firearms because they tell a story of a part of my life and my belief in the 2nd amendment.MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-30227484576500321722018-11-24T20:57:22.970-05:002018-11-24T20:57:22.970-05:00A couple things.

Another thing, What is the result to the barrel, of firing mega rounds through a barrel without cleaning? Or am I daft, and don't know if cleaning the barrel is part of the no clean MO...? I would suspect that excessive rounds through the barrel, with different types of bullets would degrade the barrel and subsequent accuracy down the road. But like I said, maybe I'm not paying enough attention here. Just sayin'Sarthurkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727606949975855848noreply@blogger.com
