.45 Auto Pistol

The .45 Auto pistol is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Honest Hearts.

Characteristics
The .45 Auto pistol is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed handgun that utilizes .45 Auto ammunition. While the .45 AP improved sights modification was cut from the game, the sights are still present on the weapon's default model (pre and post modified versions). This gives the .45 Auto pistol luminescent sights, and as such is very effective in caves and dark areas.

Furthermore, it is considered an improved holdout weapon, and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations so long as your Sneak skill is 50 or greater. It is also the strongest silenced hold-out weapon that can be brought into weapon-free locations once the AP silencer mod has been added.

The .45 Auto pistol can fire a total of 745 standard rounds before breaking, or 1,117 shots with the .45 AP HD slide modification.

According to Joshua Graham, it is based on a nearly 400-year-old design and is the trademark weapon of the New Canaanite tribe.

Modifications

 * .45 Auto pistol heavy duty slide - increases weapon's durability by 50%.
 * .45 Auto pistol silencer - silences the weapon.


 * .45 Auto pistol improved sights - it appears as though there may have been an "upgraded iron-sight" mod available for this weapon but it was cut from the final release, and the weapon's default model uses them instead.

Variants

 * A Light Shining in Darkness, a unique, customized pistol used by Joshua Graham.
 * Joshua's Pistol Whippin' .45, is a unique non-playable variant used by Joshua Graham. It differs from A Light Shining in Darkness by being used as a melee weapon.
 * Follows-Chalk's .45 Auto pistol, a unique version is used by Follows-Chalk. It only differs from the standard pistol in its use of companion ammunition and possession of unmodified iron-sights.

Locations

 * It can be purchased from the Gun Runners, Great Khans, Chet from Goodsprings, etc. after returning to the Mojave Wasteland.
 * It can be purchased from Joshua Graham.
 * Four can be stolen from Joshua Graham's desk in Angel Cave. It is easiest to do this undetected by using the grab key to bring in to an unoccupied area, then taking it.
 * There is one of good condition in a footlocker behind Joshua Graham in Angel Cave.
 * One is given as a reward in perfect condition by completing the quest Bighorners of the Eastern Virgin.
 * They are sometimes found on the bodies of White Legs, though they are not seen using them while alive.

Bugs

 * Sometimes, when both modifications are attached to the .45 Auto pistol, it will not show in first person view while in the Mojave Wasteland.
 * If both mods are attached and you use a weapon repair kit on it, the weapon stops degrading from use and can continue to be repaired past 100% increasing it's value and condition.
 * If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the .45 Auto pistol equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.

Behind the scenes

 * The .45 Auto pistol is based on the Colt M1911, although it is not an exact replica.
