Seems like a metal-framed SFA double stack, using CZ75 mags, seems there might be a factory ACRO cut slide.

Very interesting.

Push button safety? Interesting choice...

This is very exciting.

-Superb Sphinx SDP grip with comfy af rubber backstraps
-Striker fired optics ready
-2011/SDP style hybrid polymer / metallic frame
-B&T quality
-Uses common and dirt cheap CZ75 Mags

I just hope they've retained the frame mounted integral recoil buffer of the Sphinx SDP, which made my buddies SDP a soft shooter even with 9mm Major (124gr @ 1360fps) loads:

Did it say that somewhere and I missed it or are you looking at the opposite side of the disassembly lever?

Interesting. I can’t seem to find where on the pistol this push button safety is located. I suspect they intended to write magazine release.

That would make more sense!

I am actually pretty excited about this one. I have wanted a metal framed gun for a bit but have been waffling on buying one. This looks perfect if available with a slide milled for an acro.

This is cool.

I wasn’t familiar with B&T. But… I surmise that they’re actually the company that made the Sphinx branded pistols for Kriss? Looks like the same grip unit they used on the Sphinx Alphas.

Looks like the same grip unit they used on the Sphinx Alphas.AFAIK, no, Sphinx made their own pistols, Kriss is simply the importer for them in the USA, and B&T used the Sphinx 3000 as the base design of the original USW, and had actually used a large amount of parts procured from Sphinx to build the original USW.

What about these? Look similar but SA/DA.

B+T bought the parts inventory from Sphinx when they went under.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Either way... their stuff looks interesting, high quality and expensive.

I have a USW-A1.
I am not one for hype, but it is a pretty smooth sorta-pistol. No machining marks, no feeding issues - nothing but boring sewing machine-like reliability.

However, you do get to pay for that boredom. Quite a lot.
