Sphinx Pistols

[smirnoff]

How difficult are these to get through local dealers?

Does anyone here own any of their product? Their 380 model always interested me - see them every now and then on internet actions, but thats one model thats not imported here.

From readin ggun forums for the ast couple of years, people who have them are very pleased, but at the same time not too many own them. What are your opinions, what do they go for now days and whats the best source to obtain one of their models?

Thanks,

Bac1023 should be here soon... Only one I know who has one.

Excellent pistols and are 100% class. Get one and you will not regret it!

My buddy has a 9mm. He describes them as CZ clones, but built like a Swiss watch. Not sure about the .380 though....

I understand the .380 is hard to come by.

I've got the AT.380-M. It was an impulse buy, $384 OTD (used).
Nice pistol. I'm not a DAO fan but it isn't bad shooting DA.

It's accurate but mine shoots down and left.
This is the only target I have. I was shooting fast fire from 10 yards. I was suprised how accurate it is (with me shooting DA).

LOL!

Buying them new is about impossible right now, as I don't know anyone who is importing them. I'm not even sure Sphinx still makes the 380, but either way, they are known for their CZ clones. They are very well built, but expensive. Gunbroker has a few for sale right now.

I've got the 2000 Competition. Great shooter, very accurate.

Sabre Defence is apparently importing them, but they only list two models on their site.

Dang these things are nice!!! Cost a little fortune, but I want one. I guess I'll continue to keep my eyes open for one.

Thanks,

Wow, no kidding on the price tag. It look nice though.

Actually, they are a bargain compared to another well known Swiss pistol. ;)

The owner of a range I went to years ago carried the .380. I loved it at the time, but it was pretty heavy..
