I have found a new High End .45 that I am thinking of getting and it is not a 1911. Saber Defense imports these from Switzerland Sphinx .45

Yep. So Switzerland is now making a copy of the CZ-97? I'm sure it's nice, but why not just get the original?

They have been making them for several years, I just learned about the .45 version last week, Sphinx Systems Ltd. while there is definitely nothing wrong with the original CZ pistols,they are the only manufacturer good enough to make Swiss Ordnance Pistols and they are put together like a swiss watch which is something I am quite fond of :)

I like it, now the question, where to get them? At dealers that carry Sabre AR's? Or from the company?

The Sphinx 3000! Why didn't you say so! I like it just for the name. :D

LOL.. I love your avatar!

I was not even sure it was the 3000. I actually saw a few models of these in 9 millimeter like 7 years ago. They are hard to source out I am hoping to find out something from Sabre on Monday

No problem. I was told a while back that their pistols are tested more throughly than Glocks That is pretty impressive to me

That would be a blast in the bath tub. Any idea of what selling price will be on them?

I figure they will be quite expensive, I am not sure of the price yet

There is a review of the Sphinx .45 in the May 09 Combat handguns. The MSRP is $2990. It received a very good review. "The Sphinix's quality is in line with a high end custom pistol, making it worth its hefty price tag. Looks like they got a little over 1 inch groups at 25 yrds with it from a free standing position.

For that price every one should come with a compact .380 called the Sphinx Sphincter and blows bubbles when fired under water

I can always call my Sabre guy tomorrow and ask if they have any still laying around for those that are curious.

Please do

So what did you find out? I've been looking for a Sphinx AT 380 M for quite a while.

That is a really nice gun, it is imported by Saber defense which i believe is in Nashville, they are made to some very high standards. the gun is capable of 1.5 inch groups at 25 yards off hand. pretty much a super nice CZ 97 going for about $2200.
