Heavy Pistol

"The heavyweight champion of the magazine fed, semi-automatic handgun world. Delivers accuracy and a serious forearm workout every time."

- GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.

The Heavy Pistol is a weapon appearing in Grand Theft Auto V as part of The Business Update.

Design
The handgun's design appears to be that of a modern tactical handgun. It features a small grip safety to prevent accidental discharge, a small rear right and a full-length tactical rail underneath. The Heavy Pistol resembles the.

Performance
The Heavy Pistol has high damage per shot, with semi-automatic firing rate. Its damage is less than the Pistol .50 but boasts a much larger 18 round magazine with a 36 round magazine with an extended clip like the AP Pistol. It also has higher accuracy and effective range than other pistols making this an effective weapon at mid and close range. However its rate of fire appears to be slightly lower than other pistols despite what its stats say, most likely due to its higher recoil. Against a police officer or gang member the Heavy Pistol typically kills its target with 2-3 body shots but it's not uncommon to instantly kill a target with a single shot.

Trivia

 * This weapon seems to resemble the M1911.
 * The Heavy Pistol is equipped with a red dot sight in-game, though it is only present for cosmetic purposes. For PS4/XB1 version of the game however, it now serves as an accuracy device for the first-person view.
 * Due to its rather large ammunition capacity, the magazine would have to be double stacked, resulting in a bulkier grip.
