How Brass Knuckles and Pistol stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
A pair of brass knucks that turn CJ's unarmed punches into bone-breaking hits without changing his animation. The earliest melee upgrade in San Andreas — find them in alleys, on dead pedestrians, or at hidden pickups across Los Santos.
CJ's first proper sidearm — a 9mm semi-automatic pistol sold at every Ammu-Nation from the start of the game. Hit Hitman pistol skill and CJ dual-wields a pair for double the fire rate.
