The SPHINX SDP Production line is specifically designed to meet the demands of competitive shooters and the regulations of the World IPSC Production competition.
The SPHINX SDP Production Duotone is the full steel version of the Production line up. The steel construction offers the best counterweight for recoil forces. Production line pistols were designed specifically for production class competition and feature speed shooting enhancements that aren’t found on the SDP Standard. The front sight is negatively angled towards the rear to eliminate glare. The rear sight is adjustable and the standard safety lever has been replaced with a larger one to provide a thumb platform for the shooting hand. Additionally, the trigger is pre-tuned from the factory to be lighter and smoother for fast and accurate follow up shots. Other features will be similar to that of the SDP Standard. The longer barrel and pistol grip provide accuracy and a higher magazine capacity over other SDP models. The steel slide is machined from billet and is hand fitted to mate perfectly with the interior, full length guide rails, of the billet steel frame. The steel 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. Every component of the SDP Production is manufactured to the highest standards and tolerances are extremely tight. The SDP Production is closest in design to its predecessor, the famous SPHINX 3000 race pistol, and is the only choice for discerning competition shooters with the will to win.

Edge: A margin of superiority; an advantage
American Heritage Dictionary
Integrating patented 2011 technology with classic 1911 design, the STI International Edge is a high capacity pistol that carries John Browning’s design into the 21st Century.
Since its introduction in late 1997, the STI Edge has become the undisputed standard for USPSA/IPSC Limited Division competition shooting as demonstrated by Michael Voigt and Frank Garcia finishing one/two as they led the US IPSC Limited Team to victory at World Shoot XII. It has been adopted by SWAT teams, HRT teams, street cops, and law enforcement training sites. It has been embraced by almost all other shooting disciplines.
Built on the STI Modular Steel 2011® frame with polymer grip, the Edge delivers the traditional features of a 1911 and allows the added benefit of high capacity magazines. The innovative frame design preserves the 17° angle of the grip in relation to the slide original to the 1911. The essential design element for high capacity, the polymer grip, allows for double stack magazines without over-sizing the circumference of the grip, which remains comparatively the same as the circumference of a 1911.
True to 1911 tradition, the Edge has a unique full length slide with front and rear cocking serrations, STI dovetail front sight and STI adjustable rear sight. The Edge comes standard with features such as a stainless steel STI knuckle relief hi-ride grip safety and stainless steel STI ambi-thumb safeties. It comes with an STI stainless steel fully supported, ramped bull barrel. Not only is it the most accurate and reliable handgun on the market, it is also one of the most beautiful.
