To me, they are the finest pistols to ever use CZ's design. They are jewel-like in their fitting, refinement, and attention to detail.

...and just flat-out beautiful to boot. Even the roll marking is done with amazing precision.

I'm not really speaking about the production grade SDP guns, but the 2000 and 3000 series are special pistols, in my opinion. If I had to choose the top five highest quality post war semi-autos ever built, these Sphinx would make the list, namely the AT2000S. That's how highly I think of it.

Any thoughts or pictures to add?

Here's one of mine. AT2000S with a stainless frame and carbon steel slide with the palladium plating.

Have not seen a Sphinx, other than the cat, but additional attention to the fine OEM CZ design by Cajun and CZ Custom is regularly praised. On appearance, I'm a fan of the one you picture, though biased because my polished stainless CZ75B is a favorite.

The Sphinx pistols are rare items. I think I may have actually seen one, but that would have been in the 1990's.
 
Actor and opera singer Paul Sorvino (Mira's dad) supposedly has one. If you have one, that makes at least two in the USA. :D

The Ichiro Nagata type angled photos are all very well, but may we see a full flat look at the gun, like bigwheelzip provided of her CZ? That'd be nice..

Do these guns fit CZ-suitable holsters?

That .380 looks sweet, I couldn’t find it on the website?

The 9mm subcompact also looked classy.

The little .380 makers a pretty nice carry piece, it's DAO with a safety and its double stack magazine holds 10 rounds. The trigger is moderately heavy but very smooth Discontinued in the mid 1990's.
Just noticed I really need to take some better pictures because those I posted are horrible!

Yeah, I had a full nickel Sphinx 380.

They aren't built to the quality level of my 2000 Series, but they are certainly nice guns.
