WOOLWICH TWP. — When Cpl. Chris Gregory and Ptl. Matt Boyko first found the gun, they didn't know what they were dealing with. Sure, the suspect had told them it was a BB gun, but at first glance, there was no way to tell the difference.

"When [Boyko] recovered it, I was standing 5 feet away," said Gregory. "I couldn't tell it was a fake."

It all began with a routine traffic stop at 3:45 on Tuesday, just a few hundred yards from the Woolwich municipal building. A license plate reader had indicated the driver's license was suspended, and the officers said they smelled marijuana as they approached the vehicle. When they asked the man to get out of his car, the driver, whose name was not released, told them he had a BB gun tucked in his waistband. The officers handcuffed the driver and detained the two other occupants of the car, though police noted that the passengers were not arrested.

Police confiscated the gun without incident, and the man was charged with unlawful possession of an imitation firearm, possession of an imitation firearm for an unlawful purpose and possession of a small amount of marijuana. In short, everything went right.

The next day, Det. Chris Beckett posted a photo on the department's Facebook page. The picture shows two guns sitting side by side, with a handful of cartridges scattered on the table.

The goal of the post, he said, was to give people a real-life example of the challenges police officers face in the line of duty.

"We want to have an open relationship with the public," Beckett said. "They back us a lot of the time, and we want them to know what we do."

A few of those who responded got the question wrong completely, while several more admitted they had no idea (we'll get to the answer in a moment).

Hard to tell - Imagine finding it on a suspect, at night, by yourself, right after a call of "suspect fleeing the scene of a robbery - possibly armed".

And then you have all the "Mah babeh dindunuffin" when someone gets shot and killed by police because said person was armed with what looked like a gun and in fact was an airsoft/pellet/bb/fake gun.

I would've consider this to be an actual gun until known otherwise. Dangerous world out there.

Stay safe.

You made me look again because what I thought was "M&P 90" must be "M&P 9C" but I still think the left is the replica.  The burnishing on the sharp edges make me think it's aluminum under the black.  None of the M&Ps I've owned and carried did that.

It says "M&P 9c"... and it's plainly obvious. You can tell by the pins and take down lever.

I am a person who doesnt believe that 'more laws fix problems'.  I do, however, believe all toy guns should be painted toy-gun colors and not made to look like real guns.  Same goes for real guns.  Cant be made to look like toys.  

It would help alleviate the problem of kids getting shot by us.  It would also help if the crackheads would teach their kids 'dont ever ever ever point a gun, toy or real' at anybody else.  Especially the cops

I have lived here all my life and I NEVER heard of anybody arrested for possession of a replica firearm.  I think this is interpreted to mean firing replicas like Ubertis.  Even then its not enforced.  Cap and ball revolvers and Hawken replicas are sold over the counter to any one over 18.  I have heard of one occasion where a felon got a tack on charge for felon in possession after he pointed a muzzleloader at someone.

Why the hell would S&W paint a stainless slide black? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious as to why they would do that when they can matte blue a standard slide. Doesn't make sense to me.

The one on the left is identical in every way to my real gun.
With the magazine inserted it even fills the gap in above the slide release identical to the pic.
I am wondering if the cops put in 2 real guns in the photo or that the fake is identical but has a toy barrel and fire group.

Not a fan of the M&P series, but even I knew that Smith has blackened stainless slides.

No there are definitely black slide M&P pistols that say stainless on them.

Is it painted? If it really is stainless, it's not blued I know that much.

The one on the left is real.  See the seam at the base of the grip where the takedown tool is attached?  The M&P Compact is identical to that.  The one on the right does not have this seam and the removable grips don't have a tail like the one on the right.
