How Pistol and .357 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Tommy's first proper sidearm — a Colt .45 semi-automatic with a tight aim assist. Sold at every Ammu-Nation from the start of the story and a staple of the early-game arsenal.

A Colt Python .357 revolver that drops most enemies in a single chest shot — at the cost of a slow reload and just six rounds per cylinder. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation once Tommy reaches the mainland.
