Sphinx no longer makes the AT2000 (or at least I believe they have been discontinued) and I will gladly snap one of these beauties up if someone wants to sell me a nice one for $1,000!
Check out the new
Sphinx SDP. It's the compact version of their fullsize Sphinx service pistol, and very much like the 2000 series ATs. (I've had two of them.)
I'm shooting a Sphinx SDP on loan from the importer now, and it does everything the AT2000 did. It just maybe isn't as pretty at the AT2000 series. (The high-gloss stainless frames of the AT2000 were a turnoff for me, as they showed every little mark or scuff. A matte finish would have been better, I think.)
The Sphinx SDP has the same CZ ergonomics, same basic CZ pattern, but it's all taken a step or two farther, and available for under $1000 -- maybe quite a bit less in some places. They're arguably like a CZ Custom Shop gun, but a bit less expensive. (The CZ Custom Shop offers their own CZ Compact SDP but it runs about $400 more... I don't know which is the better buy, as the CZ Custom Shop guns are generally very nice guns; I do like the Sphinx SDP.)
The SDP I'm shooting is amazingly accurate. And while I don't like decockers, and that was the only version available when I got this one on loan. That said, I'm tempted to see if I can buy it from them later. Wonderful trigger (after I installed a lighter hammer spring -- with their approval.)
