Tips and Tricks

 * The holds seven rounds in its magazine. Early semi-auto pistols had single stack magazines, meaning the rounds are in a straight line in the magazine as opposed to the offset double stack magazine of some modern pistols. Though seven rounds is little improvement over the six rounds of the Cattleman, the Semi-Automatic Pistol has a higher reload rate.
 * In multiplayer this gun seems to defeat repeaters and other guns at close range and so you should use this to your advantage. Due to this gun's relatively high damage and high rate of fire (depending on how fast you can tap the fire trigger) you can easily defeat enemies at close range except when enemies have shotguns, than you should run back, take cover and pop out quickly with a quick burst of semi auto fire.

Trivia
