The Heavy Pistol is a handgun in GTA 6 that shows up in Rockstar's official screenshots. The name and the real-life match, an M1911 variant, are GTABase's reading. One image is a close-up of a gloved hand holding a silver semi-automatic in dim light.

This one has a past. GTABase ties it to the Heavy Pistol from Grand Theft Auto V, so it returns instead of debuting. GTABase lists no manufacturer for it and says it can be customized with attachments and tints.
