It's an X-Five. I know because I have one. The slide assembly is probably exactly the same as a standard P226 (though not 100% sure); but the frame is definitely an X-Five frame.
All X-Five frames have the same basic layout. Standard Single-action X-Fives have adjustable triggers and ambidextrous manual safety levers; DA/SA X-Fives are basically the same guns with SAO parts swapped out for the simpler DA/SA parts plus some filler pieces.
Some of the differences are:
- extra cut-out under trigger guard to reduce grip diameter and improve ergonomics
- cross grooves checkering on the front strap and front of the trigger guard (standard P226 only has horizontal grooves).
- plastic "filler pieces" at the back of the frame near the beavertail, covering up access to the hammer-stop pin. These parts cover up the holes where the manual safety levers would be located if it were a SAO gun.
- and you can't see from here, but I guarantee that there are two holes, one under and one in front of the trigger guard, that are used to adjust the trigger weight and overtravel, again if it were a SAO gun.
Some people are thinking: "So what's the big deal?" The deal is that all X-Fives are hand-fitted and tested. Final deburring is done by hand, and the gun's cycling and trigger pulls are manually tested and refined as needed to meet a standard where tolerances are tight and functioning is smooth. And of course all guns are live-fire tested and zeroed, and must achieve a minimum grouping (depending on the model) before being released from the factory.
And for those that have handled an X-Five, you can definitely see and feel the difference in quality.
