Resident Evil Village has a wide selection of handguns. Most of the handguns have attachments to improve them and are upgradeable. The game will give you some attachments as you progress through the story, while others must be bought from the in-game merchant, The Duke. Some weapons are only obtainable after beating the game and on different difficulties.

The Recoil Compensator can be found after defeating Bela Dimitrescu, but the High Capacity Magazine must be bought from The Duke.

7) M1911

The M1911 is the second handgun Ethan picks up. If players have upgraded the LEMI, this weapon would not be an automatic go-to for self-defense. The upside to this weapon is that it is fully automatic. Hold down the trigger and let 'em fly. After some expensive upgrades, the weapon does hold its own. The High Capacity Magazine can be found in a box right before taking on Salvatore Moreau. The Improved Grip must be bought from The Duke.

Weapon Stats

• Power: 160 (195 Fully Upgraded)
• Rate of Fire: 0.27s (0.2s)
• Reload Speed: 2.9s (2s)

6) V61

 V61 Fully Customized

The V61 is a fully automatic machine pistol. This weapon and its attachments must all be bought from The Duke. Fully upgrading this weapon is expensive, but well worth it. If you’re a "spray-n-pray" player, this is the weapon for you. The V61 has three attachments, the Gunstock attachment, the Long Barrel, and the Drum Magazine. The Gunstock reduces the recoil, giving this full auto more control for those headshots. The Long Barrel increases the V61’s fire power if body shots are more your thing. The Drum Magazine increases the ammo capacity, so you can really unload without worrying about reloading every 2 seconds.

Weapon Stats

• Power: 200 (275 Fully Upgraded)
• Rate of Fire: 0.38s (0.15s)
• Reload Speed: 3s (1.8s)
• Ammo Capacity: 12 (57)
