Sphinx 3000 Standard or Tactical

Sooon · September 1, 2005, 05:56 AM

First I'd like to say hello and thanks to everyone for my first post : a LOT of information on this website, very impressive!

I may go for a Sphinx 3000 (http://www.sphinx-systems.ch/en/3000std_std.html) very soon. I still hesitate between the Standard and Tactical models. It's mainly for range usage (I don't carry) and eventual HD. Still, my decision will be based only on HD criterias.

The Standard :

Barrel length: 4.53 in.
Dimension: 8.27 x 5.43 x 1.30 in

The Tactical :

Barrel length: 3.74 in.
Dimension: 7.40 x 5.43 x 1.30 in.

Last but not least I guess I'm gonna choose the 9mm version.

What do the experts say ? Thanks a lot in advance !!

Best Regards

Well you are looking at the Cadillac of CZ Clones. The difference is a Fullsize vs a Compact. Either way you are doing VERY WELL. Personally Id love either one, but for your needs the Fullsize is the way to go. The Compact would be slightly lighter and smaller, thus a better carry........

Shoot well........

Swiss made, you can't go wrong, but what's the price for these babies??

I like that little .380.

Thanks for your answers !

They are around 2k in the US. Quite pricey, that's for sure, but yeah, anyway I want something on par with my Sig SG 550
