Heavy pistols are powerful sidearms that are a good compromise between concealability and firepower. When you shoot a heavy pistol, you use the Pistols skill. Heavy pistols can take top- and barrel- mounted accessories.

Ares Predator V: The newest iteration of the most popular handgun in the world, especially with mercenaries and shadowrunners. Upgraded with improved ergonomics and handling features, the Ares Predator V includes a smartgun system. Some say that the Ares Predator V isn’t better than other guns in its class, but no one can argue that it has better brand recognition.

Ares Striker:One of the most rugged and certainly the heaviest (in terms of weight) pistols on the market, the Striker is simplicity personified. Designed for ease of use, the Striker lacks any of the electronics that modern pistols employ, making it immune to hacking and malware. With its striker fire design and backstrap safety, there are no external hammers or levers, making for a sleek design that won’t snag on your clothes when it’s needed. The comparatively low cost of the Striker makes it an ideal choice for people who aren’t yet ready to make the financial commitment that higher-end models require—it was this year’s most popular quinceañera gift in its category.
Standard Accessories: Red Dot Sight (top)

Ares Viper Slivergun: The sleek Slivergun pairs the undeniably winning combo of burst-fire capability and built-in sound suppression (an integral silencer, p. 432 CRB) with its large magazine capacity. It fires metal slivers that count as flechette ammunition, which is factored into the weapon’s damage code.

Barrens Special:Not a specific gun, the term “barrens special” simply refers to some sort of heavy pistol that’s been cobbled together by someone equal parts resourceful and desperate. Commonly made with a knife welded onto the barrel as a jury-rigged bayonet, a barrens special can look intimidating, especially to someone unaccustomed with firearms. Barrens specials commonly serve as a form of barter currency— a gun valuable enough that there’s demand but not so valuable that it can’t be parted with.
Standard Accessories: Bayonet
Note: The gamemaster should feel free to change various aspects of this weapon—accessories, reloading method, and so forth—as they see fit. Due to its shoddy construction, this weapon treats glitches as critical glitches.

Browning Phantom: Made from the same proprietary polymer as the Ghost, the Phantom is the perfect sidearm for security personnel who need to maintain a low profile but don’t want a Predator digging into their hips all day. The electronic firing and smartlink-enabled systems reduce the number of moving parts down to practically zero, reducing recoil, sound signature, and making the smart materials more effective than they would be in a traditionally manufactured sidearm. The Phantom cannot fire in its flexible state. Changing states requires a Complex Action. [Br]Standard Accessories: Electronic Firing, Personalised Grip, Smartgun System
Wireless Bonus: Changing states is a Simple Action.
Note: This weapon cannot accept any further modifications. In its flexible state, the Phantom has a Concealability Modifier of –2.

Browning Ultra-Power: This venerable sidearm is the Ares Predator’s primary competition as the world’s toughest heavy pistol. It offers a built-in top-mounted laser sight and is slightly cheaper.

Cavalier Champion: Don’t just contend—win with the Champion. The Cavalier Champion is not designed or marketed as a self-defense weapon but rather as a hunting pistol. A large, single-shot, break-action pistol designed to shoot rifle rounds, the Champion has attracted a following both with those who can live the one shot/one kill mantra and those who think they can. Capable of taking down an elk at one hundred meters, the Champion delivers one of the most devastating payloads in its class. With its unmistakable blued receiver, the Champion is guaranteed to get you attention at the range.
Standard Accessories: Longbarrel (barrel)
Note: This weapon uses the SMG range table and fires Sporting Rifle ammunition. Reloading a single round in a break action requires a Simple Action.

Cavalier Deputy: With the return of Western aesthetics in fashion, the Deputy has become a choice for modern-day urban cowboys and gunslingers. Less punishing to the wrist and carrying a seven-chamber cylinder, this pistol is a choice competitor to the Ruger Super Warhawk.

Cavalier Thunderstruck: A worthy successor to the venerable Ruger Thunderbolt, the Thunderstruck is the latest product to come out of Lone Star’s Technical Research Department. The result of countless hours of data collection from Lone Star officers and equipment, the Thunderstruck is designed to handle the very worst of what the streets can throw against the Star. Production of the Thunderstruck is licensed to Cavalier, who can only sell a fraction of their production to non-Lone Star security forces. Possession of a Cavalier Thunderstruck while not a legitimate member of an authorised security force is a crime in most jurisdictions.
Standard Accessories: Gas Vent (Rating 2, barrel), Smartgun System (internal)
Note: This weapon suffers double modifiers for uncompensated recoil. The Thunderstruck can accept two side-slot accessories and/or modifications.

Colt Future Frontier: This large-frame pistol harkens back to the days of the Wild West with its classic grip and stylistic elements. Combined with modern manufacturing techniques and metallurgy, the Future Frontier provides the discriminating shooter with the best of both worlds. A redesign of the spring mechanism allows for ease of maintenance and replacement by certified personnel, while the enlarged cylinder handles a number of nostalgic calibers and propellant loads. This is a thorough redesign of a pistol that helped expand a nation, providing yet another reason to Trust the Legend™.
Standard Upgrades/Accessories: Melee Hardening.

Colt Government 2066: This government-issue weapon, styled after the legendary Colt M1911a1, uses an electrically induced spark to detonate the bullet’s propellants. The removal of most moving parts from the firing mechanism gives this weapon a reputation for being exceptionally reliable.

Hammerli Gemini: A longtime passion project of a Wilson Gunsmithing, LLC, a boutique gunsmith familiar to aficionados and runners in the Pennsylvania area, the Gemini was recently licensed to Hammerli for production and distribution. With its unique parallel barrel and double clip design, the Gemini looks, feels, and fires like no other gun on the market today. After generating considerable buzz at gun shows and through an aggressive marketing campaign, the Gemini has quickly become one of the most well-known and easily recognized guns out there.
Standard Accessories: Custom Look
* This weapon fires a Double Tap (+1 DV, 2 rounds, no defensive penalty) as a Simple Action and a Brain Blaster (+2 DV, 6 rounds, no defensive penalty) as a Complex Action; these are the only firing actions that can be used.
Note: Double the cost of barrel modifications and clips. This weapon has a Concealability Modifier of +1.

HK Urban Fighter: The companion sidearm to the Urban Combat, the HK Urban Fighter lives up to its nickname of “The Invisible Gun.” Constructed entirely from ceramic and plastic components, the Urban Fighter is impossible to detect with conventional MAD scanners. Its specially designed clips form a hermetic seal when inserted, masking the ammunition from chemsniffers. Additionally, the Urban Fighter boasts a specially designed silencer, making sure that not only won’t they see it coming, they also won’t hear it being used. Finally, the Urban Fighter uses a smaller version of the same hydraulic recoil compensation found in the Urban Combat.
Standard Accessories: Ceramic Components (Rating 6), Silencer (barrel)
Note: The only modification this weapon can accept is a Personalized Grip. Spare clips for this weapon cost 100¥, have an Availability of 10F, and are only available in the standard size. Clips inserted into this weapon are considered hermetically sealed and contained in plastic for the purposes of chemical detection (p. 361, CRB).

Morrissey Alta: Seamlessly integrating form and function, the Alta remains Morrissey’s standard-bearer in the pistol marketplace. The Alta’s fame largely stems from Morrissey’s endless pursuit of up-andcoming celebrities for endorsement deals and its prominence in the limited-run trade calendar Morrissey produces. Despite all the buzz, the Alta consistently produces results at the range and in the field. Nearly twenty years of production stands as testament to Morrissey’s devotion to quality and consistency.
Standard Accessories: Laser Sight (top)
Note: Carrying this weapon does not incur a “wrong attire” penalty to Etiquette tests (p. 140, CRB) in settings that privilege taste and refinement. A ban on weapons is still a ban, so don’t push your luck, chummer.

Morrissey Elite: A smaller, more niche pistol than the Alta, the Morrissey Elite is designed for the professional who is equally worried about stopping power and maintaining the lines on his suit. While its compact design sacrifices ammunition capacity and barrel length, the Elite remains popular amongst those who don’t require dozens of bullets to make their point and those who simply cannot bring themselves to carry lighter pistols.
Standard Accessories: Laser Sight (top)
Note: This weapon uses Light Pistol ranges and has a Concealability Modifier of –1.

Nemesis Arms Praetorian: Originally used as a ceremonial showpiece, the Praetorian has gone from oddity to workhorse. Its reinforced frame not only makes it an excellent choice for close-quarters combat, it also helps reduce barrel rise, making it easier to empty the clip in an orderly fashion. Customers can submit their own artwork to be used as custom etchings upon order or pick from a library of stock designs.
Standard Accessories: Bayonet (barrel), Melee Hardening, Smartgun System (internal)
Note: This weapon cannot accept barrel accessories or modifications since the bayonet is permanently affixed.

Onotari Arms Vagabond: The Vagabond’s distinctive brushed stainless-steel frame offers a more modern take on the revolver than some of the other models on the market today. Its smooth double action makes getting off accurate shots in rapid succession a snap. Firing from the bottom of the cylinder instead of the top, the Vagabond has a more stable platform with less recoil than the competition. The Vagabond’s chamber design offers one point of recoil compensation.

Onotari Arms Violator: Constantly updated to take advantage of its reputation for using the latest integrated electronics and modern materials, this pistol has become the poster child on gun ranges everywhere as the latest for cutting-edge shootists. It comes with a smartlink, basic safe target system, and an advanced safety system (also basic), all updated constantly for a modest annual fee to Onotari Arms. A patented delayed-recoil operation, along with caseless ammunition to cut down on moving parts, help with making tight, double-tapped groups in targets.

PSK-3 Collapsible Heavy Pistol: Designed for the Russian UGB secret police in 2061, this pistol is able to fold up into a box barely larger than an old-style wallet when the clip is removed. Formerly a clandestine weapon made only for the UGB, information about it leaked to the public rather quickly and it became a popular choice for protection details and spy agencies around the world. Able to flip into combat mode with the press of a single button, it requires a custom silencer that must be bought separately for 700¥.

Remington Roomsweeper: This is really more of a short-barreled shotgun than a pistol. When loaded with shot rounds (flechette) rather than solid slugs, it uses Heavy Pistol ranges but shotgun rules (Shotguns, p. 180 CRB).

Ruger Super Warhawk: This revolver is as loud as a jet liner and twice as shiny. It’s also one of the scariest handguns in the world. The cased ammo variant is popular for the sheer thrill of swinging open the cylinder gate one handed and dumping spent brass.

Savalette Guardian: This heavily chromed street monster of a pistol has been popular in the shadows for over two decades. A heavy pistol with an integrated smartgun link, an internal micro- gyro recoil absorption system, and the option for burst firing, it’s a very reasonable weapon for an experienced owner who expects to be in heavy combat.
Burst Fire on this weapon requires a Complex Action

WW Infiltrator: The Weapons World Infiltrator is a heavy pistol that can be broken down into several pieces that resemble various common toiletry and luggage items, including a hermetically sealed shaving foam canister with a false bottom that can hold fifteen rounds of Heavy Pistol ammunition. Recognizing the true purpose of the components of an Infiltrator requires either an Armorer + Logic [Mental] (3) or Perception + Intuition [Mental] (4) Test. Assembling or disassembling the Infiltrator requires an Armorer + Logic [Mental] (6, 1 minute) Extended Test. A glitch requires the user to start the entire process over, while a critical glitch indicates that a piece has been broken, and the weapon cannot be used until it’s repaired.
Note: This weapon cannot accept accessories or modifications.
