I purchased by Subcompact from Donna and asked her for pricing on a Compact earlier today. She's great to deal with.

I talked to Donna for the first time earlier this week. Very nice Lady. She was very helpful and I have no doubt she could locate just about anything I need. I look forward to future transactions.

Ordered a Subcompact and 2 extra mags from Donna yesterday. Also ordered a Stealthgear Onyx for it. I have one for my 320C and i really like it.

Now the waiting begins.

This is exactly what I have. I am very pleased with this setup.

You were a very positive role model.

I have been following this thread for awhile and I think that it is time to get one of these pistols. Gonna go order a compact tomorrow from my LGS. Thanks for making my wallet lighter

I guess I am just "paying forward" as two of my friends just love to spend my money.

The prices can vary by an easy couple of hundred dollars or more depending where you buy from. Check with MississippiGal if only for a price check as I have found her pricing to be excellent along with great service

She was just slightly higher than the two big guys, but her personal service and the extra mags she found were top rate. That won me over!

The thing with Donna is personal service, killer mag prices, great shipping costs and long term business. Once you buy one, you are in the club and that club has benefits.

I've had my Sphinx Sub Compact for 4 months and after 1100 rounds is isn't getting any better. Out of the box I had a number of FTF and the slide release was tough. But i don't judge a firearm on its first 500 rounds. Sure enough, the FTF diasppeared, the slide release is now good and the Sub Compact is phenomenal. I was waiting for the Standard model to become available but who knows on that one. So it comes down to a Duo Tone Compact or the standard Compact. The Duo looks great but is a lot heavier. Either compact is strictly a range gun and I am not one for Bling. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris

The full size is just over a month away. If there are any delays that pop up between now and then I'm pretty sure fall at the absolute latest.

I guess you have to ask yourself if you are going to want the full set, sub, compact, and full size. I really like the compact alpha. I've got two of them.

Hey guys. I own the Subcompact and need to order 2-3 additional factory OEM mags and an IWB holster. Never been a fan of hard Kydex. Is there a more flexible, high quality leather option you recommend, that is made specifically for the Subcompact? Thanks in advance.

I've had a sub compact on order for over a month. My LGS has been telling me that Sphinx has been running a large contract for military/police and won't ship additional subcompact units until thecontracthasbeen fulfilled.

Anyone else hear anything about this? I keep checking every week, and am being told the same thing.

Have not heard that but they are readily available from Donna, Buds and a number of internet dealers.

Jackson leather makes both OWB and IWB leather holsters for the subCompact

Thank you

I love my duotone compact, so it only makes sense to get the duotone full size when it becomes available. The Production version will be following that. These guns just drip quality.

Thanks for this very nice thread.

Dumb question: What is the difference between the Compact Black and the Compact Alpha?

Thanks,
Scott

Compact Black is all aluminum. Compact Alpha is aluminum upper frame and polymer lower frame/trigger guard.

Thank you. That makes sense.

The easy way to identify the Alpha gun from the metal guns is to look at the front strap area. Notice on mine pictured above, it has vertical lines on the front strap. The Alphas have what looks like texturing.
