Sphinx AT 380 M

[~Emily~]

I love my Beretta's but I also love this little jewel.

Here it is a man's hand, to show size.

Here is a size comparison to a Beretta Cheetah.

Purdy, ain't it.

I cannot wait to sacrifice some of my .380 ammo and play with it.

[Metalhead]

The Sphinx pistols are awsome! Don't think I've ever actually seen the .380 either. I have shot one of their custom CZ platform guns, though - and it was amazing.

[DWARREN123]

Nice pistol, give us a report on it when you take it to the range.

[Guest JHatmaker]

That is sweet, I've been communicating with a women in Switzerland who works for Sphinx about an update on a new US re-seller. Sabre stopped importing them.

That's a beautiful little gun.

[Kevo]

I haven't seen anyone put more than 1 magazine of 380 downrange in a LONG TIME. Beautiful gun, hope it shoots as good as it looks!

[TGO David]

That's a quality looking firearm.

[Guest dizzielizzie]

sweet!

[Magiccarpetrides]

Wow, what a pretty gun.

[poak]

Nice!

I've never seen any of the Spinx .380s either.

Looks like a rather nicely made little pistola. Where'd you pick it up?

I bought it from a Beretta forum member.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I hope to take it to a range soon, very soon.

[Guest JHatmaker]

I'd definately hold on to that one. Sabre Defense doesn't import Sphinx firearms anymore, and the last time I checked with Sphinx, they hadn't found another US distributor yet. So those are becoming nice little collectors pieces.

Let us know how it shoots ASAP!

[~Emily~]

I finally took my little precious to the range yesterday. The recoil is similar to my Cheetah but once I shot for a bit I settled in to an easy rhythm and it felt good in my hand. I love this gun! I wanted to shoot more but didn't want to shoot all my .380, after all. My Cheetah may be jealous but I still love them both.

Do you know if they have a contact here for parts? I think there is a distributor in Canada but they may or may not still be.

[Chazmr]

Very nice.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those.

Definitely plan on a range report when you get time.

Thanks for the information! The guy that sold me the gun has several Sphinxes and gave me the same information as yours above. I think the importer in Virginia and Sphinx are about to wrap up negotiations and sign a distribution agreement so Helmie may definitely be a solid contact here soon.

Man im not sure? I have the picture but no model number, if you find out let me know

It is, 3000 Tactical Titanium from the looks of the picture. Either 9mm or .45

Yes, I want that one in .45ACP

[Guest JHatmaker]

Correction, I got my models backwards. The Standard is 4.53" long and the Tactical is 3.74" long. Standard comes in 9mm and .45ACP; Tactical only 9mm.

So.....I meant to say that was the Standard model. My bad!

[MacGyver]

Any idea of price on these?

[Guest JHatmaker]

Any idea of price on these?

From what I've seen previously, they run around $2K (for their competition versions). The Standard and Tactical probably would run around $1500+ I imagine.

[willis68]

If they can be had for under $2k, i will be all over this, Please let me know when you can find out for sure
