Has anyone on the forum had any experience with the Sphinx AT-380M? Feedback would be much appreciated

Stubby little bug*3r, looks lethal though . Should be a pleasure to own and shoot it.
Here is what I have read about it ....
Sphinx is made from high quality materials.
Feels like a solid chunk of stainless.
Very tight, very rugged.
It is accurate.
The trigger is a butter smooth DAO.
The mags hold 10 or 11+1... a lot for a fairly small gun.
Very reliable.
What is the magazine capacity of the pistol in the pictures ?

best,
Rp.
It's always better to have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it !

like i said.. just a passing interest. no problem of ammo here. But it has a hell of a recoil and smooth as silk.

The Sphinx Firearms company is located in Switzerland. They are mostly famous for making very high quality (and expensive) CZ clones.
You don't hear about them so much anymore but they used to be really popular several years ago.
This particular model doesn't show on their current website but could have been made by them at an earlier time.
