Gone to the Dogs |
I felt the same way initially years ago with my CZ PCR. I got used to it pretty quick though. Reading this thread I'm hooked, lookin around, scheming, basically I'm getting one of these. Just when you think your arsenal is stabilized, something comes along that makes you re-think the whole thing!  | |||

This thread spawned interest in a SDP but I'd promised myself I'm not buying any more guns. Yesterday I stopped to check out a new gun range and there in their display case was a beautiful little SDP subcompact. Long story short it ended up following me home. :-) The pistol feels great in hand, the trigger action is pretty nice, and fit and finish is first class as you'd expect. The only slight negative is the acutely curved trigger which feels like it could be uncomfortable after prolonged shooting. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

I should have my subcompact next week. I can't wait! I just wish there were some holster options. It seems like it is going to be a while unfortunately. Maybe that is for the best, it will allow me to get intimately familiar with it before I start carrying it. | |||

I sure hope KRISS is giving Prefontaine and Tundra some kind of 'commission' on all this... I think you guys have single-handedly increased Kriss's Sphinx sales in the last month tenfold... you guys are great salesmen! A couple of SIGs and some others... | |||

They definitely got me interested but it was all the searches I did afterward that convinced me. It is difficult to find anything negative about the Sphinx line of handguns. | |||

It is funny that you mention that about negative reviews. I was browsing around today and found some posts from guys on another forum that didn't like the trigger! I still haven't even handled one yet, but I still think it is blasphemy. This gun is supposed to deliver the quality of an HK along with the feel and "soul" of an older Sig. Maybe I am wrong, but I trust my fellow Sigforum members. I will find out next week... | |||

Good stuff. Last I was on their site it was still coming soon. The more I read the more I am guessing I'll be getting used to the shallow slide. That sand model is quite attractive. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand.

My new Compact is sitting in the Cabela's in Hoffman Estates Il until they do the paper work, I sign it, then I wait for another 72 hours before I can even open the box. Gotta love Crook County Il. | |||

Don't like the trigger? Wow. If they are striker guys I can understand not liking da/sa (some striker guys love to bitch and moan about da/sa) but if they aren't da/sa noobs then they must be smoking some wicked crack cocaine. da is smooth, and the single action/reset feels like God made it. I'm three in with my full size $ ready to go. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

I appreciate that, but let me assure you, if I wasn't impressed with what I saw, I'd say so. I have no blind brand loyalty. I make no excuses for no manufacturer. Perform and earn your consumer dollar, or expect to hear about it. The Sphinx handguns are excellent values. My one and only concern is what we need from KRISS to support the product. One thing they need to do is learn how to answer emails to support, or take the damn email option off the site. Staff it, or get rid of it. As of now, it's worthless. I've sent 4 myself over a 2 month period. To this day, none have been answered. You want to get under my skin? Offer email as a way of contact then don't answer inquiries. It's like saying "fuck you" to potential or current customers in my eyes. Same thing if I leave a voicemail. Contacting them by phone is the way to go if you want to actually talk to them, and they do answer calls. My understanding is that the Swiss are very much involved in the support chain, which we definitely need. Good things are continuing to happen and I'm really excited as to what the future holds for the brand.

tundra... Let me first say, all at the forum appreciate your input and analysis of the Sphinx. I believe its impartial and simply driven by the fact that you, an experienced shooter, have found an exceptional pistola and want to share your findings and enthusiasm with the members! You have brought this pistola to our attention and I am also considering a purchase in the future (tho I just purchased a P320 Compact and am VERY happy and impressed with this pistola). Again, thanks for your input and I look forward to hearing reviews from the 'new' buyers of the SDP. A couple of SIGs and some others... | |||

About two years ago I interviewed for a job at the Kriss assembly sight here in Virginia Beach assembling a new pistol line that turned out to be the SDP. I didn't get the job, and when I learned later how awesome Sphinx pistols are, I was pretty disappointed about that. Fortunately I'm doing something a smidge more lucrative now. Smidge enough to afford an SDP compact of my own as of Monday. It hasn't made it to the range yet, but I've rinsed off the factory grease and FrogLubed it in preparation for this weekend. Fit and finish are superb. There are so many fine details that lend to ergonomic qualities I did not expect. Cuts on the slide taper toward the muzzle directing the eyes to the front sight, tiny (rounded!) serrations on the trigger hold on to my finger while I practice dry fire, and more I haven't even noticed I'm sure. Not to mention the usual features one might ask for out of a custom handgun such as a beavertail, undercut trigger guard, serrated slide, and the sweet, sweet single action trigger mode. I've been looking at the KRounds In n Out holster for something I could use in training, competition, and carry on the street. Anybody suggest a practical alternative for the Sphinx SDP compact? Holster options are not bad but as it is a newish weapon design there is still less available than a P-series Sig, a Glock, or a 1911. Psalm 144:1 | |||

I just returned home from Cabela's which is where my new Sphinx SDP Compact was shipped. I got to inspect it and now have to wait till Saturday before I can take possession. I purchased it sight unseen due to the fabulous reviews it has received here and everywhere else for that matter. Fit & finish are superb and in the hand it's so comfortable and balanced it is amazing. I have zero doubts that shooting it will be a pleasure. I hope to get time during the early part of next week to get to the range and have some fun. What a gun!!!! | |||

Bladetech Nano is what I chose until my VMII is made. You might give it a look. They are extremely thin. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Thanks for the tip. I'll take a close look at them as I've heard Bladetech is a good holster brand. Psalm 144:1 | |||

My Sphinx Subcompact should be at my FFL on Saturday, so no comment from me yet about the pistol. However, I can speak to ordering from MississippiGal (Donna). She is super fast, a delight on both email and phone, and kept me posted daily on status of my order. I ordered the pistol on a Friday afternoon, she order from her distributor the same day. They confirmed on Monday, shipped to her on Tuesday, she then shipped to my FFL, and I have a tracking number showing Saturday delivery. I hope the Sphinx is as good as Donna. She's terrific to do business with. MP | |||

Yep. That's why she is my first call, everytime. If it's something she can't locate, which is rare, she gets first dibs. Excellent lady. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Donna went above & beyond with my transaction. She found out that the FFL it was being shipped to had mistakes on the order which she had them correct. I decided to have it overnight shipped which she went way our of her way to accommodate me on. Honestly I cannot imagine anything she cannot handle. She is polite, professional and as Prefontaine said can get or will find any item you need or want. I am still holding off on saying what the free gift was, honestly I expected a decal for my truck or a shirt at the most. What I received was a real surprise and she sent it insured!! What a gal! BTW I will get my Compact on Saturday as well, it created quite a stir at the FFL when I opened it for the inspection... | |||

Finally got my subcompact today. What a great gun, so solid. Could stand to get the DA pull reduced a little, but otherwise, can't find a fault with the thing. Can't wait to shoot it. | |||
