Updated: January 9th, 2013
KRISS Arms group (Switzerland) has purchased Sphinx Arms, a Swiss pistol manufacturer.
Sphinx 3000 Tactical S.W.A.T. (chambered in 9x19mm and 9x21mm)
The immediate benefit of this acquisition is that Sphinx pistols will be imported into the USA and Canada by KRISS USA (formally known as KRISS TDI), who is the US subsidiary of KRISS Arms group (Switzerland).
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

is that the actually trigger!?! Weird.
Anxious to see the SDP Compact. Curious as to why they call it a compact when mag capacity is 15.
I only hope KRISS does better than Sabre Defense in advertising! All the guys at the club where I shoot never heard of Sphinx. Name recognition goes a long way towards product endorsement. Even the posts above sound like they'd be just as happy with a CZ. I have a 9 and a .40 from the P2000 series and find the look, the workmanship, and their reliability top rate!
CZ is to Sphinx like Rock Island Armory is to Les Baer. Yeah, they both work. But there's more time & attention that goes into one more than the other. And I know which I'd rather have!
