Yes I already did. Own a sub-compact and a compact. Carry both. I had an issue with the Sub-compact not cambering all rounds so it went back to the factory. It returned 100%. They are tight pistols. They are well made from premium parts. The overall fit and finish are outstanding. The machining and the workmanship is top notch. The only downside right now is that night sights are still pending approval from the NRC.
There have been reports of issues here and there but most people seem to be very pleased with the pistols. I am waiting for the standard to be released. It is next on my to buy list.
Here is a link to a thread about it. http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=563792
My compact has been 100% since day one.

Thank you for your very informative reply!! I would also like to thank you for your dedication to research and spending time on the a subject that benefits complete strangers.
I'm going to re-read the links you've sent after I've taken my dog for his daily jaunt. This routine is good quiet time for me as it allows me formulate thoughts.

Thoughts of a dog walk...To Sphinx or not to Sphinx, that is the question.
Needed clarification. Is the Sphinx subcompact something I would like? Been shooting Glock for sometime; own a 17, shoot friends 19's and have test driven a 26. I am, by no means, faithful to any one brand but dedicated to unrelenting function. This thought influences my decision of my of acquisition of a G19 and modifying it meet my 17 upgrade to combat grade. Which may eventually lead to the a similar price to a Sphinx subcompact.
Why the G19? Once modified, sights, trigger, controls, undercuts etc. it is an impressive combat pistol. According to others, I shoot/run it well. But for an EDC...hmmm too big...kinda, sorta...but not really. ? !
Then the G26? Once modified, sights, trigger, controls, undercuts etc. it is just an OK combat pistol. Shorter radius/barrel gives way to accuracy Great BUG, but combat? Free flowing pinky...not a fan but can live with it; if I hafta.
Sphinx Subcompact? Hmmm...After mods; not far off the price. Tough, I guess so? Never seen anyone do a torture test. (Not gonna be crawlin' in sand nor swamp. If that happens, out will come the 17.) Bigger than a 26; yet smaller than a 19. A good thing. Owners report maintaining reliable patterns, even at distance. Combat worthy? I guess so. Would you, bet your life? A skinny home for my pinky w/o mag extns. Nice!! (Never held one, so...I don't really know?) More rounds than a 26. A good thing. The whole DA/SA thing...like the idea. From the stand point of ND's. But I'm athletic enough/trained enough that it isn't really a problem. One last level before lethal force...makes for good debate; again, I dunno if I would even like the trigger. Would love to test drive one. Can't find any local dealers or ranges within a reasonable distance that have one in the pool. YouTube Guru's seem to like it
Ramblings indeed.

Looked at one of these compacts at a LGS, used for $800 ish, I like Sphinx guns but was not really feeling it with this gun, very sig like, much heavier and just awkward feeling.
I'm glad I don't have the requirements that you would have for the Glock 26 and 19
If I had to do all that to a Glock I wouldn't buy one either.
