Yeah, paper plates are the old go-to for me also. I decided to shake things up and bought an Evil Roy stand with an 8" gong from LE Targets. I think there was an earlier thread about using steel that turned me on to it. NRA Patron Member, Instructor and CRSO NC CCH Instructor GRNC Life Member VCDL Member | |||

Down the Rabbit Hole |
I have an interesting tidbit concerning my 2 Sphinx SDP Compacts. Several weeks ago, I bought a Compact Alpha and it came with 2 magazines. The pistol was made in 2013. I also recently bought a Compact Duotone (manufactured in 2014) and 5 additional magazines from Donna. The org. magazines that came with the Alpha do not drop free from the Duotone and once inserted, you need to use substantial force to pull them out. Any of the magazines that came with the Duotone work fine in both pistols. I have not put the calipers to them but there is no doubt a difference between them. I marked the ones that came with the Alpha so I can keep them with their respective pistols.

Jupiter call Kriss and see if you can have them swapped out. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

I going to give them a call. I'm sure they will swap them out. Both pistols have been flawless and shoot great. I do lube my pistols however!

Subcompact update 7 yards- POA is the X in the center. Sighting method had to be covering the target with the front sight. Hits all low.  15 yards - same sighting method aiming at the TOP "9". Hits all low except one flier.  25 yards- same aiming method as the previous two targets. POA is the center of the upper forehead. All hits low.  I'm going to have to buy $80 sights to hopefully correct the problem. I wish I had done that rather than wasting all this time sending it back for warranty work. I'll give Kriss an "E" for effort and thanks to a certain employee for getting the process moving. I wish I'd had something better to report. I'm not giving up on the pistol and obviously my pistol is not the rule but rather the exception. | |||

Well after 1100 excellent rounds, I took my Sub Compact out today and it just went "Click". Different mags, ammo and slide off inspection - nothing seems wrong. Ran a few snap caps with the primer area marked up and none showed that the firing pin ever hit the caps. I won't tear the slide apart since I'm sure it is still under warranty. Any suggestions as to what else to check? I'll call Kriss (Sphinx) in the morning and see what they say. | |||

Can you get the firing pin to move forward manually? NRA Patron Member, Instructor and CRSO NC CCH Instructor GRNC Life Member VCDL Member | |||

You should be able to use a dowel or pencil in the barrel, hold it upward, pull the trigger and see if it moves from the firing pin strike. | |||

. Pressed the firing pin block and depressed the firing pin, nothing showed in the firing pin hole. | |||

Yes, I tried a dowel and a plastic rod, nothing felt. Kriss (Sphinx) issued an RMA it will be sent out tomorrow. | |||

Sigh. The wait continues (7 weeks now) and this thread stays near the top of the forum, taunting me. | |||

Recently acquired a 2nd subcompact to go with my pair of compacts. Decided to to try one box of ammo of every kind I had on hand. 10 types, so 500 round range trip. From top to bottom:  Federal HST JHP 124gr +p Speer GD JHP 115gr +p+ Hornady Criticsl Duty JHP 135gr +p Fiocchi FMJ 115gr Fiocchi FMJ 124gr Blazer Brass FMJ 124gr Speer Lawman FMJ 124gr Federal RTP FMJ 115gr PMC Bronze FMJ 115gr American Eagle FMJ 147gr Preloaded at the house.  On range:  7 yards, rapid fire, about as fast as I can pull the trigger:  15 yards, about as fast as I can pull the trigger:  Back at 7 yards, slowing down to one second between shots:  Dirty lil' sucker after I was done:   Very little wear in:  All cleaned up:  Range time was 57 minutes from the time I turned the lights on my lane until I walked out the door. I need to get faster with the uplula. Gun got warm from the rapid fire, about all I noticed. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Cool! I ordered a duotone from Donna about a week ago - she said maybe by Christmas as 6 others were ahead of me. | |||

You're killing me Prefontaine! One day, mine too will hit where I aim. | |||

You guys are killing me! There's a "Burnt Bronze" compact on Gunbroker for $824, free shipping. Is that a current model in that color? Haven't seen that one before. I quit school in elementary because of recess.......too many games --Riff Raff-- | |||

I believe it is. Sounds like a good deal. By the way, your screen name reminds of Saturday morning cartoons as a kid. Hoooooold on there! | |||

************************************************** From what I understand -- That was a limited run model. I have not seen one in person but looks interesting. I have sold the Grey Wolf Model (Thought I would HATE Grey -- but actually LOVED THAT ONE!) If I was gonna buy one -- it would be the Grey Wolfe Model! I generally don't like "Colored" or Two-Tone guns ... BUT.....The Grey Wolfe I just love! They did not make very many of that model either. It sounds like a good price for just the Pistol and the 2 mags it comes with. The place I get mine has the Burnt Bronze AND the Grey Wolfe Compacts. We were able to make a deal where customers get a FREE Safariland Holster with these .... and IF a customer buys the gun from us ... we sell Extra Mags also. Sphinx has really put out a great pistols and I can't wait to see my first Standard! Good Luck and hope you get to hold one and see one in person. Donna | |||
