Question about 5946(?) Slide marked "Yellow Gun TM"

[ACEd]

In answer to those who asked, my previous posted question on this subject was removed by s&wchad this morning due to it being about a then active eBay listing in violation of Rule #11. That listing is NO LONGER ACTIVE and I would still like to know the answer to my original question about "Yellow Gun TM" marking on side of slide

Stumbled across a 5946 slide on an auction site this morning - NO LONGER ACTIVE - slide has "Yellow Gun TM" marked on right of slide in what appear to be factory lettering but extra large. Now Ceracoted so not as obvious - see photos. Any idea what this was about?

A likely answer would be it was a FOF (force on force pistol) at some point ( this would explain the refinish). Maybe yellow gun was a now defunct company that did the conversion to sim or something that a armorer put on the pistol ironically.

Google search for "YellowGun" yields some sort of musical group (?)

Search for "Yellow Gun" is just that, lots of guns with yellow frames, mostly polymer, but no real answer.

Good luck, let us know if you get a better answer.

Thanks - tried that and Trade Mark search - No Joy.
Hoping someone here will have a clue.

I can recall seeing yellow-marked guns which were set up for laser-type conversions, such as F.A.T.S., which frequently involved modifications which were irreversible to frames, barrels, and such back in the day - perhaps that was this one's ultimate destination. Most just included painting the gun yellow, but this would be a easy, more permanent identification.
