S&W sigma Barrel

jimkim · 04-10-2008, 04:44 PM

I finally put 100 rounds through my new .40 cal sigma. It hit a foot low and a foot to the left. When I got home I disassembled it and took a close look at the muzzle end of the barrel. It looks like the bore line is inconcentric with the body of the barrel. Is this common now? Should I call S&W and demand they replace my barrel? Any tips would be appreciated.

I'd call S&W and kill em with kindness. 100rounds aint much at all. I'm finding mine which is a swve shooting to the left by quite a bit too, and I havn't put 100 rounds through it yet. My case I'm not sure if its me or the gun yet though.

Call S&W they are very easy to deal with. Tell them your problem they will get it right for you...keep us informed

thanks. I thought it might be me too but it grouped pretty good. It was consistantly one foot left and one foot low. I didnt measure the group but it was fist size.

Jim, have someone else try and shoot it for you then see how it groups. I have a 9ve that shoots POA at 7 yrds using 124 gr. WWbox but shoots 6" low using 115 gr. at the same distance.
