I saw a few posts a while back when I first got my SW9VE and I would like to start a new one.
I have the SW9VE Allied Forces 9mm Luger.
I have heard complaints of failure to feeds and jams, but I have never had this problem with standard 9mm luger ball ammo (115grn. Winchester, Remington, etc.) and other non +P 115 grn hollow points.
Bad things about it...The manual says not to use +P ammo. Well I finally got some new Speer Gold Dot 124 grn +P hollow points for my Glock. The rounds would not feed in the Sigma. They were to long, but with time you can get them to feed one at a time. The rounds did fit in the barrel, they just wouldn't feed.
The second bad thing about it is the trigger pull and reset. It is more like shooting a double action revolver. The trigger has to go all the way out to reset and it is about 10-11 pounds. I have heard of trigger mods for it, but never tried it.
Third bad thing: It is hard to get it to lock a fully loaded mag in to place. It sometimes take a tap. They don't just slip in like a glock.
If you are planing to use this gun as a duty gun you will have some trouble finding a good duty holster for it. There are many good holsters out there for the old model Sigmas, but the new models are shorter.
The good things about it: I love the way it fits in my hand, it looks great, shoots dead on, its very light, and it is easy to clean with the stainless steel barrel. I carry it in an inside the waist line holster (strong side) and I forget it is there. Never had a malfunction.The stainless steel mags are also a plus, but not cheap. The gun sales for about $350 new.
