Description

There are 3 costumes for the Quickshot Pistol: 9MM Tactical, Renegade Pistol and Red Shirt Special.

Clip Size, Damage, Recoil and Reload Speed can all be upgraded 5 levels each, with a separate Armor Piercing Ammo "ultimate upgrade".Broken {{ref}} (outdated style)

In comparison to the Heavy Pistol and Alien Pistol, the Quickshot Pistol has the superior rate of fire. The Heavy Pistol has a smaller magazine, slower reload speed and does not have the Reload Speed upgrade present on the Quickshot Pistol, allowing the Quickshot Pistol to fire more bullets before reload and will suffer less downtime that the Heavy Pistol.

The Quickshot Pistol descends from the KA-1 Kobra from Saints Row: The Third, with both sharing the large-capacity magazines and higher rate of fire over the other Pistols, as well as having the same Armor Piercing Ammo upgrade that the KA-1 Kobra had. Unfortunately, the Quickshot Pistol has lower damage statistics in comparison to the KA-1 Kobra, even when upgraded, the KA-1 Kobra has higher damage at level 3 upgrade as opposed to upgrading the Quickshot Pistol's damage upgrade to maximum.
