The 1911 is a rare semi-automatic pistol in Far Cry 6, and one of the best all-round sidearms you can find. You unlock it through the And The Beat Goes On... treasure hunt, and it is Vaas's starting weapon in the Vaas: Insanity DLC.
It is a strong general-purpose sidearm. The quick fire rate, good handling and suppressor support mean you can use it quietly in a base or as a backup in a gunfight. It is a clear step up from the M9 and the PM.
Complete the And The Beat Goes On... treasure hunt north of Segunda in the Cruz del Salvador area. The gun sits deep inside an abandoned cave at the end of the hunt. The Libertad Custom version comes from Lola's Black Market.
It takes all six ammo types, from standard to incendiary. You can fit several suppressors, reflex and red dot sights, and a laser pointer. A suppressor plus armor-piercing rounds covers most stealth work against helmeted FND troops.
Mind Blower and Blood Drunk are the named uniques, and the Libertad Custom is an overclocked version that takes high-end mods. Blood Drunk was made from the bottle shards of a bar fight, according to its flavour text.
.44 Magnum
The .44 Magnum is a six-shot revolver-style pistol that hits hard for a sidearm. Its two unique versions, Magnum, P.D. and The Big Dog, give you a quick-draw backup with real stopping power at short to mid range.
57 USG
The 57 USG, sold as The Diplomat, is a high-capacity pistol from the Far Cry 6 online store. Its 20-round magazine and full set of mod sockets make it a flexible sidearm if you own it.
6P13 Auto
The 6P13 Auto is a fully automatic machine pistol with a 40-round drum. It sprays fast at close range, and its unique versions come from Los Bandidos operations and two insurgencies.
6P9
The 6P9, named Double-O, is an accurate pistol that comes with a built-in suppressor. It costs 1,000 Moneda at Lola's Black Market and is one of the best stealth sidearms in Far Cry 6.
