Sphinx Standard Alpha 9mm

The SDP Standard is a full sized pistol forged through the crucible of competition.  Pedigree, precision, performance.

The SPHINX SDP Standard Alpha is the largest and highest capacity pistol in the Alpha series and is designed with competition shooters in mind. The longer barrel and pistol grip provide accuracy and a higher magazine capacity over other SDP Alpha models. The competition inspired trigger is very smooth with a clean break and short, crisp, reset. The steel slide is machined from billet and is hand fitted to mate perfectly with the interior, full length guide rails, of the billet aluminum upper frame. The polymer pistol grip features interchangeable back-straps to adjust length and width of the grip, the grip inserts are specifically designed to maximize contact with the support hand for added control. Also for added control, the high trigger guard shape and beaver tail allow for high hand placement on the pistol frame to compliment the low bore axis of the barrel, which allow the shooters to easily manage recoil. A Picatinny rail on the frame allow for the addition of modern tactical shooting accessories. The front and rear cocking serrations offer different options of firearm manipulation and the dotted front sight contrasts with the black rear sight for quick target acquisition. Ambidextrous features include the decocking lever and a magazine release that can be switched to either side. The slide release lever also serves as the take-down pin and is located on the left side of the SDP Standard Alpha.  Every component of the SDP Standard is manufactured to the highest standards and tolerances are extremely tight. The SDP Standard Alpha is very close in design to its predecessor, the legendary SPHINX 3000 race pistol, and is the only choice for discerning competition shooters with the will to win.
