Police Pistol

The police pistol is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Characteristics
The police pistol is a double-action .357 revolver with a swing-out cylinder similar to that of a .44 magnum revolver instead of a loading gate like the .357 magnum revolver. Though it is a double-action, it is fired like a single-action firearm with the hammer being cocked back after each shot by the player character. In comparison to the .357 magnum, it features a shorter barrel and a worn matte black finish. It also lacks rear sights and has a shorter hammer with a flat, textured spur as opposed to the smooth, rounded spur of the .357 magnum revolver.

The police pistol outclasses the .357 revolver in three key areas. It produces a much higher damage output with critical hits (it inflicts even more damage than the .44 magnum revolver with such a hit), has a faster fire rate, and due to its swing-out cylinder, can completely reload almost a full second faster. Additionally, it is considered a holdout weapon, and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations regardless of the Courier's Sneak skill.

The police pistol can fire 1121 regular .357 rounds before breaking.

The police pistol can be repaired by copies of itself or any revolver with the Jury Rigging perk.

Bugs

 * Despite being a revolver, the police pistol is not affected by the Cowboy or The Professional perks. (Fixed in 1.3.0.452 patch)
 * When entering V.A.T.S. with the revolver, it may be invisible during V.A.T.S. but will return to normal once V.A.T.S. is exited.
 * Sometimes in V.A.T.S., if firing multiple shots into the same limb or target, the player character will fire all the shots in exactly the same place, even if the target has moved after the first shot.
 * The police pistol lacks vertical aim in V.A.T.S. so you will be aiming as if nothing was wrong then move to the default forward facing position when firing.
