Is this a real gun?

From a news item… not to make any political statement. But this looks like a revolver grip and a semi-auto slide, excessively large. Should be HEAVY unless it’s plastic.

Tough one, he flashed it and turned away before I would have had a chance to react. Another lunatic walks away.

This is a hostile situation, for me, it’s not about determining if the threat is a real firearm or not, once the individual began their draw, I am not waiting to see what they are about to present.

Oh, I know from a defensive viewpoint… but just trying to figure out if that is truly a real firearm. I have never seen a gun like that.

Re-watching the video when it slows down, I think you are correct!

Don’t think so, look at the bottom of the grip, looks like a plug.


Looks like an air pistol

Nailed it, terrible day to be a criminal armed with an air-pistol when the good guy has a real pistol.

Granted in today’s age I am sure the Karen’s will scream why didn’t I let the crazy person shoot me first to realize it was not a real firearm or why didn’t I shoot the toy out of their hand. That’s for my lawyer to argue before a judge.

So it was an ugly Chiappa air pistol. My husband said it looked as if it had something at the bottom of the grip. Makes sense.

Dude committing 2023 Texas robbery did not have a real gun, but a customer did:

It’s a shame the customer has not returned, he should have been given tacos for life.

Bingo. The freak is crazy enough to do that in San Fran. Around here that would have earned “it” at least a triple tap to the chest to change its attitude. THEN we figure out what it was they pulled out…

You might feel differently after holding it. At a gun show years ago, I had the opportunity to experience the Chiappa. The trigger guard dug uncomfortably into my middle finger.

The interesting aspect of her pulling that “gun” on him is that she did not have her finger on the trigger.

it looks very plastic to me, with what looks like an air canister plug at the bottom to the appearance of a slight bend its most likely a toy.

however that person should still go to prison.
