Pistol · 9mm
A suppressed 9mm that one-shots most pedestrians and never raises CJ's wanted level when fired — the go-to choice for the burglary side-mission and quiet hits. Stocked at Ammu-Nation after "Doberman."
The Silenced Pistol is a weapon cut from Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto IV.
Similarly to the S-Uzi Machine Gun in the previous title, the Pistol was intended to have a silenced variant. As its name suggest, the weapon comes equipped with a suppressor that muffles gunfire.
It is unknown whether the weapon was fully implemented at any point in early development, as there are no leftovers in the game files and no renders available in the actual document.
The weapon is mentioned in official Rockstar North developer notes from GTA III: The Game Design Document, a Rockstar North document lastly updated on December 29th, 2000, used in the creation process of the game.
A silenced pistol was scheduled to appear in Grand Theft Auto IV but was scrapped before release. Files for the texture and sound exist, as well as a screenshot depicting Niko Bellic with a silenced pistol in Playboy X's Penthouse. The design suggests it is somewhat different to the Pistol, as it was supposed to be based on a Beretta M92F, comparable to the Pistol in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and the Max Payne series. As of March 28, 2026, the previously missing model has been found from a leaked 2007 beta build of Grand Theft Auto IV.
