Hello, a dear friend passed away and the family wants to give me one of his guns. They have offered this gun, and I cant seem to identify it. The slide safety has me perplexed. Does anyone know what gun this is? I dont want to ask the family for another photo as I think its disrespectful to ask for another photo of the "gift horse's teeth".

Welcome to the forum!

I'll look at it. Just send us your username and password for Smugmug and... Don't do that actually.

The rumored "ghost gun"?

Welcome to SIGforum!

Obviously, it's tough to say without being able to see your photos.

But if it's a SIG with a slide mounted safety, that narrows it down quite a bit. The only ones I'm familiar with that have safeties on the slide are the SIG Mosquito, which is a .22 that was offered in a variety of finishes and configurations, or a very small number of 9mm P239s, SP2009s, and SP2022s that were produced with slide safeties.

Sorry folks it’s the mosquito.
