I bought one of these pistols about 10 months ago, and I have been trying to buy mags for it since. I have a training session coming up in October that I wanted to use this pistol for, but I will need 5 mags minimum for that.
Any date on when you will have mags ready to distribute to your dealers?
Thanks.

CZ SP01 mags will fit and function in the Sphinx SDP Compact. You might try CZ75 mags, which should also work, and might be both easier to find and cheaper. For sure the SP01 (both Mec-Gar and "factory") mag will run fine. If you look around here and/or ask, you'll get lots of advice from the CZ fanboys, and maybe even some mags to try in your fine Swiss machine. Sorry, I don't own a CZ any more.
Unfortunate that Sphinx mags aren't readily available, though they're all made by Mec-Gar as well.

I have a CZ75 Tac Sport and a IWI Baby Eagle, and both have very similar but different magazines. The Sphinx magazines have Sphinx markings on them, but I will check out Mec-Gar as an interim measure.
I waited a long time to purchase a new Sphinx, but I didn't expect that the wait for additional mags would be almost as long?

Alpha has a 3 piece construction. Slide is steel, frame is aluminum and grip is either aluminium or polymer (alpha)
There is also an all steel version, all three sections in steel
(Sorry for the double post, freezing rain on a phone screen is difficult)

I have owned the all steel version (black slide, silver frame and grip) for about 2 years now. I can confirm that it is an awesome example of precision Swiss design and manufacturing. My SDP is like the proverbial Swiss watch in terms of both form and function.
Magazines are available, you just have to be patient and pounce when they turn up. I found both of my spare mags on-line and can confirm that all SDP mags are manufactured (and marked) by Megcar. That said, as others have already noted the CZ SPO1 mags fit and function fine in the SDP - they just hang down a bit further. They are perfectly good for all practical purposes.
