Maria (Fallout: New Vegas)

Maria is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas and the graphic novel All Roads.

Characteristics
A custom model of an M&A 9mm pistol made by M&A Guns Manufacturers, this weapon has an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a well known Catholic figure and a representation of the biblical Woman of the Apocalypse, painted on the pearl grips of the firearm. The entire body of the pistol is engraved with ivy and floral details, with a polished nickel finish. It, along with Chance's knife, was responsible for a great amount of Fiend deaths in the pages of the graphic novel All Roads. It is also the gun used by Benny to shoot the Courier in the Fallout: New Vegas introduction cutscene, and as such is owned by him.

Maria is a unique variant of the 9mm pistol, that has a higher rate of fire, more damage per shot, is more accurate, and has higher durability than the standard variant. Like most unique weapons, weapon modifications cannot be used on Maria. However, like the standard 9mm pistol, Maria is also a concealable holdout weapon so long as your sneak skill is 50 or greater.

Maria can fire 995 rounds, or about 76 and a half magazines, before breaking.

Maria can be repaired by the regular 9mm or any semi-automatic pistol with the Jury Rigging perk.

Variants

 * 9mm pistol, standard 9mm found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Dean's 9mm pistol, a unique non-playable 9mm pistol used by Dean Domino. It only differs from the standard pistol in its use of companion ammunition.

Location
Can only be found on Benny at 100% condition if the Courier decides to kill him either during Ring-a-Ding-Ding! or Render Unto Caesar. However, this weapon cannot be obtained if the Courier has Benny crucified.

Two can be obtained by first pickpocketing Maria from Benny while in The Tops when you first meet him, and then obtaining another from him by several means while he is inside The Fort.
