The top of the slide. It is "Skeleton" to my eyes. Never seen this before.

This is an odd one...

....and the description also says "All Around"....but the gun shown is SAO.

I don't know a lot about all the X-5 versions, but the X-5 All Round I have is DA/SA....thought that was the only way it came.

Yeah, that definitely ain't the Allround.

 

[RC Fan]

No cuts under the barrel, different trigger, different hammer, different grips--strange.

Definitely not a factory Allround nor X-5 Skeleton. Really puzzling since the slide and frame have identical serial numbers. I inported/sold two X-5 skeletonized 9mm slides a couple of years ago, but not with this serial number.

Yup.
Some new model, apparently. The Entry Skeleton? Too bad, the guy doesn't have outer cardboard box with the Part Number label.

With a quick call to Sig....

....The S/N U899251 visible in the GunBroker pictures reveals....

...this gun started life as an X5 Entry, made in November, 2013.

Seller responded to my inquiry. Robar modified the slide. He doesn't have the cardboard box, so he guessed at the model. I informed him is a SAO Entry model. We'll see if he corrects his GB ad.

Did you call Sig or do you have some other source?

Ok, whatever. Together with the info maxfan found from the seller, what else could it most likely have started life as, if not the Entry?

Not trying to be contentious, but northlight did say that. It's up in the title text and is easy to miss when reading through. Most people don't enter a title in reply posts so I usually miss it personally. Look at northlight's post again and then look right above in bold.

Seller's description: "enlitened slide" lol

The man needs glasses, obviously.

As do I. With Tapatalk, these titles don't appear on individual posts.
