== Sphinx pistols == [[Image:S3000forWikipedia.jpg|thumb|right|Sphinx 3000 Duo-Tone in [[9Γ19mm Parabellum]] with a stainless steel upper and a [[titanium]] lower frame intended for combat and target shooting.]] ;AT380 Series: A sub-compact pistol. Slightly smaller in general overall dimension than the Walther PPK/S, it also has a larger magazine capacity (10/11/15). The sights are adjustable. Safeties include: 1. an automatic firing-pin block type which precludes the striker from being hit unless the trigger is pulled, eliminating slam-fires etc. 2. Manual firing-pin block safeties on "M" models (similar in function to the Beretta 92F). Due to tighter firearms trade restrictions, the AT .380 is no longer imported into the United States. ;Sphinx 2000 Series: A full- and medium-sized defense and sports pistol that shows its [[CZ 75]]/AT-88 heritage. ;Sphinx 3000 Series: A full- and medium-sized defense and sports CNC machined pistol made out of various metals such as [[stainless steel]], [[aluminium]] and [[titanium]].
