Switzerland may be well known for chocolate, cheese, and watches, but Swiss precision and ingenuity also extends to the manufacture of world-class firearms. Sphinx has been manufacturing pistols in Switzerland since 1985, and has a history of making small steel parts since 1876.

Now that Sphinx is part of the KRISS group, the design of the classic Sphinx pistol has been updated, and a major effort is underway to import them to the United States. Guns For Sale met up with Christophe Guignard of KRISS, who explained some of the features of their new handgun.
