How .357 and Tec-9 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

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.

A long-magazine Intratec TEC-9 — high fire-rate, mediocre accuracy. Drive-by capable and frequently dropped by the Vance gang and other Vice City crews.
