Thread: Smith and Wesson Sigma SW40V

got to shoot the 709 some more yesterday. I now have somewhere around 350 - 400 rounds through the gun. got through a box of PMC 115gr just fine, along with a box of Federal...no extraction issues w/either, and only one failure to feed (with the Federal ammo). I'm pretty much convinced that my problem was just the Winchester white-box ammo...starting to trust the gun now. another 100-...

Chances are the feedramp needs to be polished or the barrel throated. For what it is worth, many GI type 1911s will work with hollowpoints if you alternate them in the mag with hardball. I did that for years with a mil spec 1911.

Remember that if you decide to just load the magazine with FMJ, as I would, you can still put a hollowpoint in the pipe first. You'll want to make sure they hit to the same point of aim, of course. My Springfield Mil-Spec sees nothing but FMJ ball ammo, and nothing in the woods has a problem with that! My Colt reliably feeds HP and SWC and my Kimber feeds HPs very well and sees a steady ...

My Kmbers eat anything I feed them. I wouldn't know what to do to make them jam.... While I love 1911s with a passion, they are second to my other love, Ruger revolvers. Get yourself a good 4-6" .357Mag at minimum. A 45LC, 44Mag or 41Mag would do the job nicely. I prefer my 41.

glock 23c, terrible ergonomics terrible weight and balance, laser sight in the rod blinks constantly, mag release had to be replaced, i still cannot believe i let my brother talk me into buying one! He managed to convince me i didn't like the grip angle because i was so use to a 1911, well i fired over 300 rounds in the 23c before i finally sold it, it never felt comfortable in my hand. Oh did i ...

I just picked it up NIB for $450.00 with holster and extra's.I took it out and it seems very acurate,and was just wondering if a good deal? I have a ss super blk hawk 7.5'and a new marlin 1894 both in 44 mag. Any comments on best common loads for all three? Is there a Universal ammo for all three? Thanks for any advise

If it really is NIB for $450 with the extras then it is a hellova deal ! ! !

You can push the SRH and SBH pretty hard and they won't budge, the Marlin would blow at Ruger levels. If you stick to factory levels, you won't have any trouble with the Marlin and the Rugers will give you lifetimes of service.
