10mm Pistol (Fallout: New Vegas)

The 10mm pistol is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Though it is easily obtained, the pistol is prone to breaking after a short period of use, so carefully-aimed shots are important. Its iron-sights are also slightly misaligned, with the front post being aligned slightly to the left of the center. However, it does benefit from being considered an improved holdout weapon, and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations with a Sneak skill of 50 or greater.

Durability
The 10mm pistol can fire a total of about 395 standard rounds, the equivalent of 33 magazines, or 25 reloads when modded with extended magazines, from full condition before breaking.

Modifications

 * 10mm pistol laser sight - Decreases spread by 0.4, and adds laser sight effect.

Behind the scenes
Joshua Sawyer stated that it was a deliberate decision to make 10mm weapons "vaulty/futuristic."

Bugs

 * Sometimes when equipping a 10mm pistol modded with an extended mag, the mag may appear under the trigger. This bug can be fixed by re-equipping the weapon.
 * Sometimes when you equip the 10mm pistol, the laser sight modification may not be activated. To fix this, simply un-equip the pistol and re-equip it.
 * The weapon may also turn invisible while aiming down the sight.
 * If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the 10mm 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.
