Sphinx AT 380 M - Page 2

**JHatmaker** · 10-23-2009, 07:11 PM

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!

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.

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.
