Reader Comments

I just want to get the updates in case any of you fellows get one and want to tell us what you think. No pertinent comment.

Judging from the examples of Sphinx pistols I have seen and handled, they are pretty well made and desirable pieces. They are also quite pricey, but it seems anything worth a hoot is pricey, these days.

Who would buy this CZ P07 knockoff? Certainly not Law Enforcement or Military as this story claims.
