The SNS Pistol Mk II is the Weapon Workshop upgrade of the SNS Pistol, added in the Doomsday Heist update. The conversion nudges damage per shot from 28 to 30 at the same slow fire rate and unlocks the Mk II ammo family: tracer, incendiary, hollow point, and full metal jacket rounds. Even upgraded, it is still outperformed by most other handguns in the game, including several that never got a Mk II variant.

The costs, as of July 2026: the base SNS Pistol costs almost nothing at Ammu-Nation, and the Mk II conversion is $79,575 at any Weapon Workshop. A full build adds the hollow point magazine ($47,580, Bunker research required), the suppressor ($28,750), and the compensator ($21,250), which lands the total at roughly $177,000. The extended clip ($18,300) doubles the tiny 6-round magazine to 12 for standard ammo.

Is it worth it? No, and it is not close. The 6-round magazine is the smallest of any Mk II weapon, specialized ammo keeps that same 6-round capacity, and the damage output loses to the AP Pistol, the Heavy Revolver, and even the regular Pistol Mk II. This is the last entry on any sensible Mk II shopping list. Buy it only if you are completing the collection or want the pocket-pistol look.

If you do build it, copy the quiet-pistol recipe: hollow point rounds plus the suppressor. Hollow points raise damage against unarmored targets, which offsets the suppressor penalty, so headshots on regular NPCs still connect cleanly. The mounted scope ($16,250) adds little on a gun this short ranged; skip it.

For money making it contributes nothing. No prep, heist, or contact mission benefits from a pocket pistol. The $177,000 a full build costs is better spent on Bunker research fast-tracks or the Pump Shotgun Mk II conversion, both of which actually change how fast you earn.

Tips

  • If you just want a suppressed sidearm, the regular Pistol Mk II does the same job with double the magazine size.
  • Specialized ammo keeps the 6-round capacity, so reloads are constant - carry a backup primary.
  • The extended clip ($18,300) only applies to standard ammo, not the special rounds.
  • Hollow point plus suppressor is the only build that makes sense; every other attachment is cosmetic on this gun.
  • You can revert to the standard SNS Pistol at the Weapon Workshop for free without losing the Mk II unlock.
  • Buy this last when completing the 12-weapon Mk II collection; it changes nothing in actual play.

FAQ

Is the SNS Pistol Mk II worth it in 2026?
No. It is the weakest Mk II weapon in GTA Online - a 30-damage pocket pistol with a 6-round magazine that loses to the AP Pistol and the regular Pistol Mk II. Buy it only to complete the collection.
How much does the SNS Pistol Mk II cost in total?
The conversion is $79,575 at a Weapon Workshop. With hollow point rounds ($47,580), a suppressor ($28,750), and a compensator ($21,250), a full build runs about $177,000 as of July 2026.
What are the best attachments for the SNS Pistol Mk II?
Hollow point rounds and the suppressor. Hollow points restore the damage the suppressor takes away, giving you a quiet pistol that still drops unarmored NPCs with headshots. Skip the mounted scope.
Does the SNS Pistol Mk II require Bunker research?
The conversion does not - any Weapon Workshop does it for $79,575. Research is only needed for incendiary, hollow point, and FMJ magazines and some liveries.
