Is the striker fired USW supposed to be cheaper or something? Because I'm not seeing a real reason to create this variant... or do I just have the unpopular opinion? I can understand making a dedicated pistol version of the USW, which is more or less just making a B&T branded Sphinx... but I don't "get" the benefit of a striker fired USW. What am I missing?

ETA: If B&T is taking requests at the moment a USW-A1 Compact Striker with a threaded barrel would be awesome.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd get one just for the consistent trigger pull. That pistol to complement it is certainly appealing. Did they ever sell a striker version of the Sphinx? |

I know the feeling. I love the APC platform and keep eyeing the APC45 and thinking I need it to go with my 9mm and scratch my UMP itch. Then the $100 magazines and proprietary 3 lug make me come to my senses. But I could buy one at any moment...lol |

Oh no worries, they're beyond my means too. I did quite a bit of shuffling and shedding with my redundant AR collection to acquire the B&Ts I have and now I have redundant B&Ts.... I'm now waiting for the GHM9 to drop and the last thing I need is another PCC.Quote HistoryQuoted:

I wonder why the new striker fired USW's have a longer barrel?

Quote HistoryOh my...........I really dig that. I'd 3D print a "topcover" for the reciprocating slide (just as the original) and mount the dot up front (not a fan of slide mounted red dots) or something but that could be a real winner for half the price of a full on USW |

Does anyone know the story on the Sphinx/B&T crossover? I’m on my third Sphinx, just wonder how it went down that B&T used Sphinx, especially with Sphinx Switzerland going bankrupt.

Interesting. Makes me wonder how Kriss is now producing the Sphinx here in the US. Appreciate the reply/info.

I have always heard they imported the guns from Sphinx, and that Sphinx was a subsidiary of Kriss Europe. I can only assume that with Sphinx defunct that Kriss USA now owns anything B&T didn't salvage, or perhaps they sold rights and designs to B&T as part of some bankruptcy liquidation to keep their Euro facility floating. Don't know. |

The newest Sphinx I bought, the SDP Compact Duty has different markings. Gone is the quality reassuring Made In Switzerland stamp on the pistol. Switzerland has interesting laws regarding items tagged Swiss Made and Switzerland. Kriss has been saying they intend to manufacture in the US for awhile now. My first two Sphinx SDP pistols were clearly marked Switzerland and featured the Sphinx picture on the frame. The newest iteration only has the Sphinx logo on the grip and Switzerland references are gone. I’d love to learn they are still made in Switzerland so it won’t hurt my feelings if someone can prove me wrong! I will say though that this newest Sphinx is every bit as tight as the first two.
