How to get it
Leon starts ch01 with it (9 rounds loaded and 30 Handgun Ammo). It is a custom build by Joe Kendo.
Verdict
It holds out until Central Camp: fit the free ch04 Compensator, then sell it for 1,000 to pay for the Silencer 9. Only worth tuning if you decide not to buy another handgun.
- Compensator: the Attic Stairway Warped Closet (ch04), the first one on the right after leaving the Attic. Fit it from the inventory: Tailor Made trophy. It only spawns on a first run; if you skip it, it goes into the Supply Box from Raccoon City East (5,000).
- Selling a gun refunds only its base price; buying it back costs the same and brings its upgrades back.
- Leon Must Die Forever: it is the No-Frills loadout gun (with the Hatchet).
Stats are the in-game bars converted to a 0–5 scale (Game8); no damage figures have been published. "★" is each part's third tier: it only appears with Advanced Tuning (destroy all 25 Mr. Raccoons) and applies to every later run.
