Default Do you know what this barrel fits?

I picked up a few of these at a auction. I haven't been able to figure out what they fit. Non-rifled, obviously a compact. The only thing it say's on it is 9MM PARA, S.. Does anyone recognize it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like an unfinished SIG P938 barrel.

I first thought it was a 9mm barrel for a .45 ACP size slide due to the size but when you said it wasn't rifled I think it just hasn't been turned down to size and rifled.
The way the barrel hood locks into the slide rules out most 9mm 1911 type pistols and the slot for the slide stop pin rules out a lot of newer pistols that use a different locking block and disassembly method.
Perhaps a company was making aftermarket barrels for the P938 and went out of business or stopped halfway through production for some reason.

Also to add, SIG uses the term 9mm PARA on many of their 9mm barrels. Other manufactures just use 9mm or 9x19mm, etc., so I think that is one way to help identify it.

I was thinking something similar as I was looking into it more. An unfinished product that needs more machining. I buy lost/ unclaimed freight at auction. I just put them on ebay. Maybe a good gunsmith will pick them up and be able to finish them? Thanks everyone for your input.
