Description
The SIG Sauer P226 X-Five Anchorman Skeleton stands among the rarest and most visually striking interpretations of the legendary X-Five platform. Created in minimal quantities, this example showcases an extraordinary blend of precision engineering, artistic machining, and unmistakable character, making it an exceptional addition for collectors who seek the uncommon and the unforgettable.
At its core, the pistol retains the renowned performance DNA of the X-Five series: a full-steel frame, a competition-grade trigger system, and refined cycling characteristics, all chambered in 9mm. But it’s the Anchorman Skeleton treatment that truly elevates it. The slide features deep, sculpted porting that exposes polished steel beneath the surface, creating a dramatic contrast between matte and gloss textures. Light-catching geometry runs the full length of the slide, giving the pistol a bold, architectural presence while reducing weight for faster transitions.
The Anchorman motif, engraved along the slide and echoed on the custom wood grips, adds a distinctive identity, blending maritime symbolism with modern mechanical artistry. The grips themselves offer a rich, weathered texture, complemented by metallic inlays that complete the design without overshadowing the steelwork.
Matching components across the pistol enhance its cohesion as a collector-grade piece, designed from the outset to be both technically superb and visually iconic.
With only a small number of these Anchorman Skeleton models ever produced, surviving examples rarely surface on the market. This makes the offering not only a functional competition arm, but a scarce and compelling artifact of SIG Sauer’s Mastershop era—ideal for discerning collectors seeking a statement piece with genuine rarity.
