In this paper, some exact static solutions for Einstein gravity in 2 + 1 dimensions coupled to Abelian gauge field are discussed, where the invariant interval is of the form: ds[sup 2] = N[sup 2](r)dt[sup 2] [minus] dr[sup 2] [minus] C[sup 2](r)d[theta][sup 2]. Some of these solutions are three-dimensional analogs of the Schwarzschild black holes. The metrics in the regions inside and outside the horizon are connected by the changing of the Planck mass sign.
