How AP Pistol and Pistol stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto V.
A select-fire armor-piercing machine pistol — full-auto in a sidearm slot, ideal for drive-bys when an SMG would block the camera. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation mid-story.
The starter sidearm — a standard 9mm semi-automatic sold at every Los Santos Ammu-Nation from the start of the GTA V story. Reliable, accurate, and the base for the Mk II conversion.
