Beware of "Toy" Guns

Director John A. Sutter, Jr. of the PA Game Commission stated that there is a new line of handguns on the market that may be mistaken as toys by officers who come in contact with them. These handguns are marketed by the European American Armory (EAA) Corporation of Sharpes, Florida. The handgun is a semiautomatic featuring a polymer frame. The uniqueness of these guns is that they are coming out in several colors such as blue, pink, army green, black, white-gray, smoke-gray, and clear. The 9mm semiautomatic gun should be of concern to all law enforcement officers as it may easily be mistaken for a toy. If you come accross a colored semiautomatic pistol that looks as though it may be a toy, treat it as a real pistol until you are sure of its nature. Please share this information with other law enforcement officers.
