The first generation was awful. I bought an early version. It broke within 25 rounds and was returned to S&W. After 5 months, 2 more trips back to Smith and less than 50 rounds fired they finally sent me a new gun. The newer version. This obviously left a bad taste in my mouth so I traded the new gun unfired for a Glock and never looked back. MY LGS was aware of the issues and the guy allowed me the full price I paid on the original gun in trade so I lost nothing. He got a new unfired updated Sigma.

To their credit S&W worked the bugs out and I never heard any real complaints about the redesigned guns. Trigger wasn't great, but they were selling SS versions for $279 at one time. For a cheap gun that would go bang every time I almost reconsidered and bought another. Even with the bad experience I had I think I'd recommend one for someone looking for a budget gun.
