The Heavy Revolver Mk II is the Weapon Workshop upgrade of the Heavy Revolver, and it is the biggest stat jump of any Mk II sidearm: damage per shot rises from 160 to 200, and because the Mk II fires double-action it shoots almost 50 percent faster, nearly doubling damage output. One body shot kills most NPCs outright, and headshots drop anything unarmored instantly.
Costs, as of July 2026: the base Heavy Revolver is $5,900 and the conversion is $99,000, so $104,900 for the gun. Add hollow point rounds ($43,615, research required) and you are at roughly $150,000 for the practical max build. Incendiary rounds ($38,225, research required) are the fun alternative that sets targets on fire.
Is it worth it? As a performance investment, no - the AP Pistol is still the meta sidearm and any rifle beats it at range, especially since damage starts falling off 20 meters out. As a satisfaction purchase, absolutely. It is the closest thing GTA Online has to a Wild West hand cannon, and for NPC-heavy grinding at close range it genuinely one-taps everything.
The loadout to run is hollow point rounds with the compensator: hollow points push its already huge damage even higher against unarmored targets, and the compensator tames the heavy recoil for faster follow-up shots. Note the revolver holds only 6 rounds, so misses are expensive.
For money making it is a low-impact buy - use it for close-range flair during contact missions, but it will not speed up heists the way a Heavy Sniper Mk II or Combat MG Mk II does. Buy it late, once your businesses are running.
