About this weapon

The Double-Action Revolver is a six-shot revolver made by D.D. Packenbush. Its double-action mechanism fires without cocking the hammer between shots. That design gives it a heavy trigger pull and makes it less accurate, while allowing a faster rate of fire than other revolvers. It uses Revolver Ammo and holds six rounds, with space for up to 100 rounds.

In story mode, it becomes available from every gunsmith after "A Strange Kindness" in Chapter 3, for $65. One can also be found at Lonnie's Shack during Sean MacGuire's Homestead Robbery, concealed in a gun case beneath a bunk bed. If one has already been collected elsewhere, another appears during the robbery. A second can come from the boastful dueler encountered in Rhodes when one is already owned.

Its relatively low damage makes it weaker per shot than many revolvers, but its speed suits rapid fire. The game positions it as a useful sidearm for fighting from horseback. Completing the Treasure Hunt and its related Grand Theft Auto Online challenge adds a pre-modified golden Double-Action Revolver to the story mode inventory after Chapter 1. Gold metalwork and pearl grips can then be bought from gunsmiths. In Red Dead Online, gunsmiths and the handheld catalogue sell it.

Trivia

◆The weapon is based on the Colt Model 1892 Army & Navy Revolver.
◆The shootout in the customer letter section is based on the "Four Dead In Five Seconds" gunfight of 1881, which follows a similar story to what is described in the letter. However, the fictional version of the fight ended in very little violence while the real version of the fight, as it name implies, left four people either dead or dying, and the winner of the fight was subject to two assassination attempts, only surviving the first one.
◆If the player has an Honor rank of -4 or lower (25% or less on the Honor bar), a unique Gunslinger Ebony grip becomes available for this weapon, obtainable from any Gunsmith.
◆The player may also be able to purchase this grip with the corresponding amount of high Honor, likely as a result of an oversight.
◆This weapon is the sidearm of choice for Javier Escuella. His version is silver-plated with black engravings and has a black grip embellished with silver carvings. Additionally, its barrel is slightly longer than that of the regular Double-Action Revolver and it makes its own distinct sound.
◆Dutch van der Linde uses a pair of these while he is in Guarma.
◆Micah Bell's signature weapon is a pair of customized Double-Action Revolvers.
◆The only way to unlock the Gold metal finish and pearl grip customizations in story mode is to complete a scavenger hunt in Grand Theft Auto Online, which was added by said game's Doomsday Heist DLC. The Gold metal finish and pearl grips along with Baroque engravings for this revolver are not available in Red Dead Online.
◆This is the only sidearm where the loaded rounds can be seen in first-person view. Regardless of how many rounds are fired, it will always show unfired cartridges, but if less than six rounds are loaded the empty chambers can be seen.
◆Trelawny had an unused Double Action prop intended for the weapons exchange scene in "A Fine Night of Debauchery". It was reused for the bounty hunter camp theme in Red Dead Online.
◆The first shot of each round will be single-action. Because it’s a double-action revolver, you don’t need to cock the hammer for the first round. This might have been a developer oversight.
