    Between the 2, I would say the Ruger, built like a tank.

    However, ditto on the Tanfglio Force!! NIB, lime green hard shell case, 2 bore brushes and 2 mags, .40 cal, "Made in Italy". CZ-75 Clone (some would say with a few improvements. $336 including taxes otd.

    Some say the factory mags are marginal (no problems yet with mine @ maybe 400 rds.) If so order some Mec-Gar mags.

    I own a P95 & my buddy has a Sigma, while my Ruger is "chunkier" in hand, it has a Single/Double action trigger, the Sigma is DAO. I think it is nice to have the "safety" of a long DA trigger pull for the first shot but then a short SA for easier follow up shots.

    Plus you can get 33 round mags for the Ruger

    While the Ruger ergonomics are a little worse, I still feel it's the superior product to the Sigma series (even the new ones).

    I voted Ruger.

    Ruger.

    I'd take a beat up old p95 over a new sigma.

    Track record and reliability, plus only one of these is commonly referred to as the "shmegma" in certain circles. If I want a 13 lb (or whatever rediculous break the shmegmas feel like ) trigger I'm sure I can find one in new york or new jersey somewhere :-) I DO like the SD series however, for your main usage the P95 comes out on top - to you, I think reliability and accuracy are paramount (from what we've discussed!)

    Buy the Ruger!

    My brother and I both checked out the sigma last year. He was thinking about getting it. The reviews weren't good and people we know who had them weren't happy.

    He had a dream that one was attacking him and I had to put it down with myS&W model 10.

    He bought a Tarus mill.pro in .45. I stuck with my wheelgun. I did recently buy a Ruger p89 for a really good price and will put it into rotation as soon as I test it out at the range.
    Some people just plain suck.
