.44 Pistol (Fallout 4)

The .44 pistol is a weapon appearing in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The .44 pistol is a double-action revolver with a blued finish and wooden grips. It doesn't have many customization options as most pistol frames, but these no-nonsense firearms boast considerable ballistic damage. For old-fashioned stopping power in a conveniently small package, it is hard to beat a heavily modified .44 pistol.

These pistols are relatively rare, but if you look hard enough, you should be able to find a few scattered around. The ammo is also considerably rare, but can be bought from most vendors for a reasonable price. Aiming down sights is ill-advised for close encounters due to the strong recoil, and with the proper mods it can be made quite accurate for firing from the hip.

Despite likely being a double-action revolver the Sole Survivor and any NPC's equipped with the weapon only ever use it as a single action weapon; meaning the user must manually cock the hammer before firing another shot and giving the weapon a very low rate of fire.

Locations

 * Can be looted from dead Triggermen.
 * A snubnosed version of this revolver can be found in an unmarked location lying beside a skeleton close to the shore of the lake near Sanctuary, but before Concord is reached. The skeleton is leaning against a deactivated water pump not far from an unmarked small raider camp. Cross the bridge leaving Sanctuary then follow the shore left, past a dock until you come to the water pump. Follow the pump pipe, it leads directly to the skeleton with the gun.
