| Is there anyway to lighten the triller pull of a Sigma? Took my buddy out to the range today with his new toy and the pull is heavy as hell compared to my Glock and Sig. I know you can replace springs in the Glock to make the trigger lighter or heavier, is this the same in the sigma. If so, what parts do I need and were can I get them. thanks. |
| There is a way to lighten the pull. I forget where I found it, but someone did a write up about it, with pictures and a detailed description of what to do. It involves taking one of the two trigger springs out. Did it to my girlfriends Sigma, lightened the pull up a bit, and the trigger/gun remained 100% failure free. |

It is as heavy as 10-12 lbs???? wow. Thanks for the advice, I'll google those suggestions. |

The 9mm I picked up last year had 3 springs in the sear group and weighed it at 12 lbs. I suppose it will vary a bit from one to another, but I don't think they'll be too far out of that range. |

Thanks for the help guys. I googled Sigma trigger mod like you guys suggested and came across a thread with my solution. There is a company out there that is S&W warranty authorized that will lighten the trigger for free under warranty. If any of you are interested, here is the website for the company LSG Manufacturing.
I was unsure if this was done for free, so I e-mailed Frank at the website. I received a prompt reply telling me to have my buddy call him for details on shipping and to get a better idea of were he wants the trigger to be. |

Sounds like an even better deal than doing it yourself. I can't believe S&W is covering this stuff under warranty though. I'd get it done quick if I were you as I imagine they will put a stop to it sooner or later as I'm sure the shipping and labor bills are fairly significant. I find it even harder to believe they are covering it under warranty as the only way to reduce the trigger weight on a Sigma by 4-5+ pounds is pretty much to remove 1 or 2 springs from the sear group and use a reduced power striker spring. It is believed that those springs are necessary to ensure 100% proper functioning of the gun under any/all circumstances as it was designed by S&W. Unless LSG has found another way of doing it or perhaps S&W approves of the procedure. Best of luck either way. |

I felt the same way.... how/why would S&W cover this under warranty. That is why I contacted Frank about it. So many times things are said online that are just not true. I forwarded Frank's response to my buddy that owns the Sigma and I am calling him tonight to ensure he jumps on this deal. Like you, I don't think they will cover this and shipping forever. |
