Double Action Revolver

Overview

The Double Action Revolver is a classic-style revolver featured in Grand Theft Auto V. It is characterized by its high damage output, which is balanced by a slower rate of fire and reload speed. This makes it a formidable weapon in the hands of a skilled marksman who can make each shot count.

The weapon is unique in its design, reminiscent of revolvers from the late 19th century. Its aesthetic appeal and powerful performance make it a favorite among players who appreciate vintage firearms.

Due to its high damage, the Double Action Revolver is particularly effective in situations where precision is key, allowing players to take down enemies with fewer shots.

Performance

The Double Action Revolver excels in damage but suffers from a slow fire rate and reload speed, making it a weapon best used for precise shots.

Customization

The Double Action Revolver does not support attachments but can be customized with a selection of tints to suit the player's style.

How to Obtain

The Double Action Revolver is not available for purchase at Ammu-Nation. Instead, it is unlocked through a special Treasure Hunt mission that players can undertake in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Once the Treasure Hunt is completed, the revolver is added to the player's inventory for free, allowing them to use it in both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
