Pros:
Price, Its a S&W
Cons:
The trigger is really bad
I don't own one of these guns. My buddy has one in .40 caliber, and I have a great deal of experience shooting his.
The price for these guns is great, and if you look hard enough you can find one new for $300.
The trigger is horrible. They are real mushy and it is frustrating to try to shoot it for any real accuracy. They are pretty reliable. I have never seen the gun have a failure. They would probably make a decent inexpensive personal defense gun.

Pros:
durability, ergonomics, price
Cons:
A lot of people cry about the "horrible" trigger, but if you've fired double action revolvers, the Sigma is not a big deal. It was not meant to be a target pistol, but a self-defense handgun that is economical, tough as nails, and accurate enough to get the job done. I love my SW40VE, it is quickly becoming my favorite!

Pros:
Easy to aim, shoot, load and handle. Fairly accurate
Cons:
Trigger pull of 8.5 lbs is
I bought both the SW9VE & the SW40VE. Considering the price (under $300 for each with laser), I think it is one of the best bargains on the market. They are very easy to handle, easy to pick up and aim, and fairly accurate considering the heavy trigger pull.
I own several Glocks, S&W MP and Beretta pistols. The Sigma series certainly holds its own in comparison.
It's my opinion that the gun was designed for novice and inexperienced shooters (based on its ease to aim and fire) looking for home protection. The trigger pull was most likely designed for newbies and inexperienced gunowners from accidental discharges.

Pros:
Price, ergonomic, high capacity, does what it needs to without problems.
Cons:
Trigger
I purchased this particular firearm (The SW9VE) back in November of '08 as my first handgun. The price was right on point ($279 after mail-in rebate), and the ergonomics felt just right for my hand. I've got small hands, so that's important.
I picked up this firearm in anticipation of it being my everyday carry (CWP in Florida), and it's functioned in that capacity quite well. Day in and day out, it's been reliable, ZERO problems with any kind of ammunition, and even functions when dirty. When I get to the range, it functions perfectly without hesitations or drama.
Yes, the trigger can use some help, and I know I could get a gunsmith to "fix" it, but that would be money I'd rather put towards another firearm. Still, it's not THAT big of a deal to me.
I've made the choice of eventually passing this firearm over to my newbie brother once I can afford a higher-end Springfield XD(M) in 9MM. This really is a firearm meant for novice shooters, so in that respect it gets lots of thumbs up from this guy. =)
