What kind of handgun is this?

This shouldn't be too hard. I'm actually surprised I can't figure it out myself.

THIS link includes a picture of a pistol. It appears to have a double action type trigger and possibly an ambidextrous manual safety. At first I thought it was a Para in LDA but none of them that I've seen had a squared trigger guard like that.

Any clues?

The barrel opening doesn't look like a .45, but neither does it look like a .22.

I suspect it's not a firearm at all.

Picture I see surely looks much like a Browning Hi Power. The extra toe on the grip detracts as well as the muzzle opening. I suspect some type of BB or pellet or paintball gun or some type of toy modeled similar to the Browning.

Yeah, the barrel was throwing me off. Also I could be wrong but the lower looks like it may be polymer which could be a clue. Plus there appears to be no stamping of caliber or anything else on the barrel.

I suspect some type of pellet pistol, air soft or such it has features of S@W type autos but that is not uncommon for air soft pellet pistols to be made to look like some real fire arm.

Or it could be a computer generated image.

It's a mutt. The cousin of this pea shooter.
