I for one never really believed that, I have sold new items that have just been expensive crap, only to know first hand that the lower priced unit was either the same or even better, but clients would not accept it due to the status involved with spending money,but that is for another discussion.
Other than the trigger being a bit stiffer on the SIGMA, what would you say is the biggest drawback to saving about 25-35%?
I apologize I should have expanded on what I was thinking -
I wouldn't go with a S&W semi automatic due to my experiences with the steel framed pistols and the M&Ps - All they do for me is jam - now a S&W revolver is a different story. I have not fired a Sigma, but do to their horrible reputation.
As for any Taurus I have seen their 1911s and polymer framed pistols jam and break at the range - just not my cup of tea, so I've stayed away from them altogether.
Both pistols are somewhat cheaper than what I would suggest you buy...
