*SOLD* Sphinx AT380-M .380ACP 2-Tone *DESIRABLE DISCONTINUED SWISS MADE SEMI-AUTO*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Sphinx AT380-M is a Swiss-manufactured subcompact pistol that stands out for its precision engineering and unique design features. Chambered in .380 ACP, it is designed for those seeking a small yet reliable firearm for personal defense. The pistol boasts a 3.27" barrel, making it compact and easily concealable. Its black slide and stainless frame provide a durable and visually appealing finish, combining both functional strength and aesthetic appeal. The checkered black synthetic grips, prominently featuring the Sphinx logo, offer a firm and comfortable hold, ensuring better control during use. With a magazine capacity that ranges from 10 to 15 rounds, the AT380-M provides a higher round count than many comparable subcompact pistols, such as the Walther PPK/S.
 
Originally developed by Sphinx Systems Limited, a Swiss company renowned for producing high-quality firearms primarily for special forces, elite police units, and sports shooters, the AT380-M benefits from the manufacturer’s extensive background in precision tooling and machining. Sphinx, founded in 1976, gained prominence with its work on the Czech-designed CZ 75, which eventually evolved into custom competition pistols and compact models like the Sphinx SDP. The AT380-M features several key safety mechanisms, including an automatic firing-pin block that prevents the striker from being hit unless the trigger is pulled, as well as a manual firing-pin block safety similar to the Beretta 92F, offering added peace of mind. While the AT380 is no longer imported to the United States due to stricter firearms trade restrictions, it remains a notable example of Sphinx's commitment to innovation in the handgun market.
