Is it South African?
Nope. Hint - it's swiss made.
Good hint!
Sphinx AT 380

Sphinx Model AT380 .380 Auto Variant-1

Only made for a couple of years in the early to middle 1990s.
At 25 ounces empty weight this all steel, double action only, .380 pistol would not be my choice for carry, although it might be OK for home / vehicle defense for a woman or elderly person who can't handle much recoil.
However I wonder what the weight of the double action only (DAO) trigger pull is. That can be a deal-breaker for a lot of people with weaker hands, and that's why striker-fired semi automatics are dominating the defensive handgun market now.

Dasan industries dspp9. In murica' a company called Alpha Foxtrot in Duluth makes Glock style guns and AR9 stuff and is owned by Dasan industries. IIRC they used to make the lone wolf Glock barrels before moving production stateside.
