To give you an idea, I sold my Sigma for a Glock. The person I sold it to hated it, and sold his for a Glock as well. Apparently the guy he sold it to also hated it, and sold it for an XD.
I guess I didn't explain why I hate them so much.
They feel very top heavy, and recoil more than a Glock; the polymer seems lighter and weaker to me than a Glock does. The rear sights are 'drift-adjustable' which means you can move them left and right. They're also made of Polymer, and they move
ALL OVER THE PLACE. Whenever I pulled my gun out of my holster, whether or not I was OCing or CCing, they were NEVER where I had put them prior. At one point in time, they had literally almost came off the gun. What good is my gun going to do me if I can't use the sights?
Next, the trigger pull. The only thing I can say about this is 'Oh my God.'
It claims it is an 8lb trigger pull. I've fired 12lb revolver triggers that have less pull than this. It literally feels like a 15lb pull, and when you're pulling a trigger like that, unless you have absolutely AMAZING trigger control and a grip like The Incredible Hulk, your hand
will jerk, and you will not shoot on target.
To give you an idea, I almost failed my CPL class because of this gun's trigger. Our instructor told us we had 10 rounds, and had to get all 10 rounds on an 8 inch paper plate at 10 yards to pass the class. We had time to practice before hand, and I wasn't even hitting the plate when I got there. (Granted, I fired guns before, but had only fired about 400 rounds through that particular gun, and wasn't super familiar with it) When my CPL instructor checked my shooting stance, posture, and grip and found all three to be correct, he asked to see my gun so that he could try it as well. He shot at the plate 3 times, and missed the plate all 3 times because of the trigger pull. Then, one of the range safety officers, a detective, took a few shots, and got one on the plate out of 3 shots, but he was kneeling.
Eventually we were able figure out and solve the problem, and I was able to hit the target semi-reliably, but I must say, that I've never had that problem with any pistol I've ever shot in my entire life, and nor should I. Handguns, with proper posture, should shoot all generally the same, and your first shot should ALWAYS be on target, or pretty damn close, if it's a quality gun. The fact that we had to 'figure it out' is not something you want to toy with imo, especially if it's your first gun. It was mine, and I encourage you not to make the same mistake I did.
