==Strategy Guide==
*Landing headshots is very beneficial with this weapon. At a decent fire-rate and mixing in headshots gives the pistol a higher DPS than the Assault Rifle.
*The Epic and Legendary Pistol can be used as an assault rifle. As it has very good accuracy and almost the same DPS as the Assault Rifle, it is useful at mid to long range, but also useable in close range scenarios.
*Even though the Pistol has a slightly lower DPS than most of the SMGs, it can still be beneficial due to better range, higher damage, speedier reload times, first shot accuracy, and a higher headshot multiplier.

==History==
==Trivia==
===Visuals===
*The , , and Pistol is based on combination of the American Colt M1911, the Italian/American Beretta M9 and the Belgian/American Browning Hi-Power.
**The hammer, trigger and trigger guard are based of the M9, meanwhile the manual and grip safety are based of the M1911.
**The slide's overall shape is based of the Hi-Power but with the serrations of the M1911 and the M9's cut-out.
**The magazine size is most likely based of the M9's or the Hi-Power's 15 round magazine rather than the 7 rounds of the M1911.
***The 16 round capacity in game could be explained by having a round loaded in the chamber.
***While it is possible for a M1911 to have a 15 round magazine, it would be twice the length of a standard magazine.
**The Chapter 1 version of the Pistol used comically large and stylized iron sights for the pistol, much larger than they would be in real life. These sights were scaled down for the Chapter 2 version of the gun. The size of the end of the barrel was also reduced for its remodel.
**The , , and Pistol shares its model with the Vigilante from Fortnite: Save the World.
*The and Pistol is based on a Staccatto XL 2011 , which is based upon the M1911 itself.
**Alongside the Heavy Assault Rifle, the pistol is one of the few weapons to have its High Tier version be an actual upgraded version of the low tier one, rather than a different weapon entirely.
**The The Turncoat from Fortnite: Save the World share the same model a and Pistols.
