Can anyone identify this pistol?

I have no idea what it is but curiously Google image search shows that same exact picture on at least 100 hundred gun trafficking/gang arrest articles, it's probably some kind of stock photo but it still is weird what the original pistol is.
It has a slide mounted safety.... hmm

I can only find this as a stock image.
Really odd. Handle material reminds me of mass produced Argentine Hi-Power, and the safety makes me think Zastava. Exposed hammer/slide safety/american mag release/external extractor/tiny ejection port/LIGHT RAIL is an odd combo. I'm leaning to eastern european late 80s/early 90s design. Probably mil surplus, communist. No slide markings make this one interesting

Argentine Hi-Powers don’t have the slide cut. Or at least mine doesn’t.
@drgrant I feel like I’ve seen other pistols with rails and no notch.

I googled and the closest thing i can find is the Kareen MK3 from Israel. The marks on the slide at the muzzle are different, but maybe the picture posted is a copy of one of those

Looks very similar to a Star, same frame shape, hammer and controls...but that ejection port tho...tiny......must be a .22?

I was thinking model/render practice for a video game artist. Something "inspired by" real guns...

Weird combo. Slide looks Springfield Armory, trigger guard looks CZ, and the grip looks STI. Maybe some little known CZ clone with "tactical" slide? Maybe a render by someone who makes copy for websites? Airsoft?
What country or factory manufacturers firearms without any markings?
All I can think of is something locally manufactured in Pakistan.
Only thing is I think more often than not they usually tend to be copies of existing designs.

If this photo is a rendering/composite then it's a really good one. The wear looks very real, but if they were mil guns they'd have more holster wear. I also think they're pot metal, they look really really rough. They gotta either be handmade Paki copies (which having a boxful in a first-world country would be almost impossibly rare, must be movie props.

I think it might actually be a photo, not a render.

Agreed. But if it were a render, they had great attention to detail with different skins/textures for each pistol.
I do think it’s amazing that computer generated imagery has gotten so good, that we can barely tell sometimes now.
I am beginning to think its some kind of blank firing pistol, probably firing 9mm pak or some shit. Which is great for a stock photo because no trademarks, rollmarks, serial numbers, etc. That stock photo is used all over the damned place.

Was looking on my phone earlier. Completely agreed.
