The Double-Action Revolver is a hidden unlockable weapon featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as a promotion for Red Dead Redemption 2. It was added as part of The Doomsday Heist update, but was only available starting from December 15th, 2017 when the event commenced.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Double-Action Revolver is modeled after a Colt M1892. The weapon is gold-plated with slight floral engravings, and pearl grips.
"D.D.P" and "Repeating Arms Co." (the name of an arms manufacturer in Red Dead Redemption II) texts can be seen written on the revolver's grip, just on the upper part of the white grip panels.
Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Double-Action Revolver deals 81 damage point per shot, which is high for a pistol, only exceeded (significantly) by the Navy Revolver, Heavy Revolver, its Mk II variant, and the Marksman Pistol. Contrary to the Heavy Revolver, it does not have a damage multiplier on vehicles. It retains its full power up to its maximal range, that is standard for a weapon (120m), along with the Assault SMG, Pistol .50 and the Sniper Rifles.
It shoots much faster than the Heavy Revolver, barely less than 2 shots per seconds (like the Heavy Revolver, the player needs to actually press the trigger once per shot while on foot), giving it the second best raw damage per second of any pistol, second only to the AP Pistol, but retaining 100% of its power with range and suffering less from bullet spread. However, it is outclassed by most automatic weapons.

Trivia
Grand Theft Auto Online
- A unique animation for putting away the Double-Action Revolver showing a finger spin and placement into an imaginary hip holster will happen if the player does this while on foot.
- With the weapon being an homage to Red Dead Redemption, it has the exact same firing sound as Red Dead Redemption's Double-action Revolver, used as well in its prequel, Red Dead Redemption II.
- Once obtained, the weapon will also become available to the player in Red Dead Redemption II.
- If the trigger is slowly pressed (if playing with a controller), the player can see the cylinder of the revolver slowly rotating until it fires.
- The Double-Action Revolver's model with a longer but bent barrel appears as the "Misfire" sculpture decoration.
