They are just hitting stores now. I am waiting on a call from a store that just got them in and hasn't put them on the books yet. For the money you can't beat the gun which comes with the Sig RMR already on and zeroed in.I was looking at the Sphinx which I had inquired about, here, "as to any experiences people may have had with them". But the latest articles I have read, have been dissapointing as far as problems encountered with the Sub, and Compact models.
Some have complained about light strikes and the slide not returning to battery amoung others, which can also be attributed to it being a new firearm that takes some breaking in.
But the Sig has gotten steller reviews, and has a Red Dot already on it. I just need to see how it carries with the Dot , and the holsters available. When you ar looking in that range, 50 dollars here or there is to be expected between models, th Sphinx is being discounted lately which shows the demand slowed down.
One last pistol I wanted to try was the CZ- 10C, but one will need to wait another few weeks on that one, as none are around, and it is the least expensive of the lot, by at least a couple hundred dollars, which may make it worth waiting for.
I am looking for accuracy in an affordable gun under a thousand dollars, closer to 700. I want something that can make a 1 inch group in a vise at 25 yards, perhaps I will have to settle for 1 1/2, inches, although I have seen reports of the Sphinx doing even better than 1 inch. The Sig is supposed to make a good shooter into a great shooter, "if that is possible" But after my Cataract Surgery, I feel I can shoot like I used to, in days gone by, as my upper body strength is still good, so I want to get something that is accurate to a fault, but don't want a 22, or to spend 2-5 grand on a pistol expeiment. Plus it's my Birthday next week, so I have an excuse, lol.and getting my wife another puppy considerably more than the gun, didn't hurt either.I am definately punching above my weight class this month.
Truth be told, if I felt that neither of these guns were going to make a real difference, i would save the money and perhaps just put a dot on one of my Glocks. Before the eyes got bad, I could shoot a 1 1/2 inch group at 25 yards, with a high end revolver or auto. many moons ago.
