I still don't see it. There are sci-fi guns like blasters, historical guns like flintlocks, and there are guns used in superhero sets, but nothing for Lego City or any other set that claims to represent real life.

Admittedly a revolver and not a semi-auto, and I don't know if it's from a current or recently discontinued set. But it's definitely from a modern set.

In the first picture, is that from an actual Lego City set, or has someone added the revolver to the police officer from another set?

The BrickLink page lists the revolver as part of a bunch of western and cavalry sets, that is, historical sets. Click "Item Appears In: 7 Sets" to the right.

I was very convinced I'd seen guns in the Lego City sets. Upon further consideration I might have to concede that was, in fact, wrong.
