Smith and Wesson Sigma's in 9MM or .40.
(Are these ever NOT on sale?).
Browning Buck Mark Camper .22 LR. 5.5" barrel, 10 rounds.
This could be a nice plinker or an intro gun for new shooters.
Yildiz 12 or 20 gauge o/u shotgun, 28" barrel.
Happy shopping.

Anyone have any opinions on the sigma 40? I may grab one at $300

i figured. 300 sounded a little cheap, but i keep looking for deals. seems that a while back, academy mis-printed an ad and some folks got a really good deal on a pistol. make and price escapes me. but they honored the advertised price. thanks for the input. that, again, is why i love this board. thanks, texaschlforum.com

I have the Sigma 9mm. but they are just about the same weapon, with 1 obvious difference of .40 vs 9.Fire1141 wrote:Anyone have any opinions on the sigma 40? I may grab one at $300
it is a very accurate weapon, and for the price it cant be beat I dont think.
the issue that I am finding (which is why I don't shoot it anymore) is that the grip is simply too big around to get a good feel of the weapon.
if the grip fits your hand, I think it is a good weapon to shoot.

fire1141:
The general rap against the SW Sigma is that the trigger pull
is very heavy. Some folks see this as an advantage during a
self defense encounter. Most folks don't like a heavy trigger.
The really good SW is the M & P (Military and Police) line, but of
course you have to pay to play. It's more money, but it's a much
better handgun.
The deal which you are recalling is probably when Academy
had the Taurus PT-101 on sale for $299.99. This is a .40 caliber
semi-auto with a capacity of <16 +1?>. IMHO, this is a better
value than a Sigma.

Thanks for the info. I carry and love, probably more than anyone should, my xd. I just want to build my collection and saw s&w, and thought for $300; I should ask. Thanks again.
