Smith & Wesson Sigma [Automatic Pistol]:

The Sigma was the gun that Smith & Wesson fielded to take a part of the lucrative polymer framed gun market away from the Glocks, who had dominated that market until then. Instead of being a instant hit, the Sigma stirred up a lot of controversy because a lot of parts were interchangable with those from the Glock guns. It was even possible to switch the slide/barrel assembly of the two guns and fire them! (note: DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS, IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS!). After a lot of legal battles with the Glock compagny the Sigma was still brought onto the market.

The gun is of reasonable fit and finish (there is a rather large gap between the frame and the slide for dirt to enter into), and it is made in both 9 mm and .40 S&W calibers.

In 9 mm it uses a sixteen round magazine, and in .40 S&W it uses a thirteen round magazine.
