This article is about the weapon in the first few games. For the similarly named weapon in Saints Row: The Third, see 45 Shepherd.
The .44 Shepherd is a weapon in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row Undercover and Saints Row: Total Control.
Overview[]
The .44 Shepherd is the only revolver in the Saints Row series, and is the strongest pistol after the GDHC .50.
The .44 Shepherd can only fire six rounds before being reloaded, and unlike the other pistols in the game, it cannot be fired rapidly. It makes up for this with incredible stopping power and pinpoint accuracy. One shot to the chest kills a regular enemy in Saints Row, while it takes two shots in Saints Row 2.
