I have been shooting with Glock 34/17 for 10 years and it’s probably the most reliably gun on the marked today – that’s for sure! Today I am shooting with Sphinx 3000 Production Competition and it’s a very fine pistol with nice craftsmanship. The reason for choosing this pistol is:

Get the best and the rest is up to you!

I wanted to eliminate all excuses and therefore I optimized all my gear, pistol and ammunition. An A-Class or a Master Class shooter can probably earn some extra points if they choose the right gear and in 2006 I was lucky to have the opportunity to buy a Sphinx cheap from Topguns. The Sphinx pistol has some advances that Glock 17 doesn’t have. For example: better trigger, fiber optic, adjustable sights, better recoil (heavier) and a beavertail (G17 bits me).

It took me almost half a year to get use to shoot with a heavier pistol (almost twice as heavy as G17), but now I am making some good results and I am quite satisfied with my new pistol. I can only recommend the Sphinx pistols, it's probably the best gun in the world! Remember to order spare parts especially the slide stop, they will normally break after 5.000-10.000 rounds. I have only brooke one slidestop and the gun has now shot 30.000 rounds.
