In this story from Vancover, Washington, a man in a gas mask attempts to rob a convenience store. He has a gun and threatens the clerk. He gets some money and leaves. From katu.come:
The employee's friend took out his own firearm and followed the suspect outside, police said.What is not said in any story that I have read about the incident, is if the gas-masked suspect dropped the gun when fired upon. Here is a picture from the katu story:
The suspect turned around and pointed his gun at the man, who in turn fired several shots at the suspect. Officials aren't sure if the suspect was hit.
Vancover should be Vancouver
The pistol in the hand of the robber looks longer than the pistol in the photo by itself.
The angles of the photographs make it hard to compare lengths. Looking at photos of other Smith Sigmas, it looks very close.
You would think a story would mention a robber dropping a gun.
Perhaps, but the pistol in the hand has a slide considerably longer than the frame, where the pistol by itself appears to have a frame length slide. That, and the pistol in the hand appears to have an ambi safety where nothing is on the rh side of the slide of the pistol by itself.
The question does still remain; where did that pistol come from?
Those are good points. Very likely the pistol shown in detail came from the friend of the clerk, but we are not told. I hope that more information will come up in updates.
