Mysterious Magnum

The  is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A unique .44 magnum pistol which crits and plays The Mysterious Stranger's theme whenever you draw or holster it. It is unique in that it features a silver finish with intricate engravings etched into its barrel, cylinder, hammer and trigger, and its grip is made of pearl.

With the perks Cowboy, Hand Loader, Lady Killer/Black Widow, etc... this weapon can be made to do a base damage of 65 damage per shot with a -6 Damage Threshold.

Locations
Owned by The Lonesome Drifter who is sitting in front of the Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard next to the highway (little east of El Dorado Dry Lake and north of El Dorado Gas & Service). Can be acquired by passing a barter skill check (50 Barter required) when hiring him for the mission Talent Pool.

You can also get this gun by reverse pickpocketing a Ranger Sequoia to him, then leaving the area and coming back. He should have the Mysterious Magnum in his pockets for you to pick by then.This can get really annoying because pickpocketing him is really hard.

It is also possible to acquire the Mysterious Magnum by attacking The Lonesome Drifter with an unarmed strike and shooting it in VATS mode once he draws it to attack. Once disarmed, you can pick up the Magnum and retreat. The Lonesome Drifter will not remain hostile to the player, and the broken Mysterious Magnum can be repaired with regular .44 Magnums.

After The Lonesome Drifter is recruited for Talent Pool the Magnum will be in his pocket while he is sitting around in the lounge and can be pickpocketed off of him.

Bugs

 * The Magnum may or may not spawn on the Lonesome Drifter's corpse if killed
 * If the player has the "Quick Draw" perk, when drawing the revolver the Mysterious Stranger theme will occasionaly play twice. To hear it play correctly, simply go into third person and draw the revolver.
 * If you obtain the gun by reverse pickpocketing before you start the quest Talent Pool, you can get a second by completing a barter check (50 barter required) when recruiting him for Talent Pool.
