Sphinx pistols are made in Switzerland, by Sphinx Systems Ltd. These pistols are by no means cheap, but offer probably the best "out of the box" quality money can buy.
The Sphinx 3000 line is a short recoil operated, locked breech pistol. The barrel is operated using a Browning cam system, and is locked to slide by single lug via large ejection port. The frame and slide are made from steel for maximum rigidity. The frame is completely machined from two steel blocks and then permanently assembled. Trigger guard is shaped for comfortable two-hand hold. The frame on all Sphinx 3000 pistols has an integral accessory rail under the barrel.
Sphinx 3000 pistols feature a Double Action trigger with external hammer. The safety levers are ambidextrous and provided on both sides of the frame. Both front and rear sights are dovetailed into the slide, and can be easily replaced if required. Slide runs inside the frame not over it for a smoother action and higher durability.
