I’m going to say something that may surprise some here: I like my Smith and Wesson Sigma. Some may think I’m crazy, and that the Sigma is a blight on a storied brand like S&W. But have you ever actually fired one?
Yeah, the trigger isn’t great. Yeah, it’s not the best built pistol in the world (but I would argue that it is far from the worst Glock knock off). But it goes bang every time I want it to, it’s plenty accurate, it’s light and it’s compact enough for concealed carry. And I paid about $200 for it. How many other name brand, reliable handguns can you get for that price? It eventually evolved into the current SD series and those do have a somewhat improved trigger, but I sold my SD and kept my Sigma. It’s really not as bad as some make it out to be.
