The Double-Action Revolver might seem impressive thanks to its fire rate, boasting of one of the fastest guns in the West. However, that fire rate doesn’t really do anything for the Double-Action Revolver except make it a bit hard to use, as it will constantly be kicking with recoil with each shot fired.
On top of its high fire rate, it lacks a competent damage scale, so the bang average stats of accuracy and range really don’t help the Double-Action Revolver shine, and this is probably best left behind and most certainly not in Arthur Morgan’s holster.

Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Great Weapons That Are Easy To Miss
Arthur Morgan has access to a variety of interesting weapons in Red Dead Redemption 2. Some, however, are very easy to miss.
The Cattleman Revolver has decent damage, decent accuracy, a fast reload, and a rapid-fire rate. However, it’s a tad too basic as a revolver when compared to other six-shooters, especially when other revolvers have a much more powerful punch and a great range for targets that might be a bit further away.

- How to Get the LeMat Revolver: Purchased from a Gunsmith for $155 after The Gilded Cage (Chapter 4)
The LeMat Revolver is an interesting addition since most revolvers have 6 shots in their ammo capacity, but the LeMat Revolver has 9. Pairing 9 shots with some great damage and great accuracy makes for a decent weapon to pick, but the lack of fire rate and reload speed certainly makes it feel slower than alternative revolvers.

As the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur has made some powerful statements that resonate with players.
The LeMat Revolver is still an absolutely solid choice, but the reload speed really holds it back, even if players have 9 bullets in the ammo capacity to work with. Slow reloads are always a burden in a shootout, but the LeMat Revolver will make up for it with its decent damage output to fight the law.

- How to Get the Schofield Revolver: Purchased from a Gunsmith for $84 after Blessed are the Meek? (Chapter 2)
There is a reason that Dutch Van der Linde uses a custom set of Schofield Revolvers, and that’s not just because they look great when engraved and customized. In fact, Schofield Revolvers easily take the title of the best revolver in Red Dead Redemption 2, and that’s in part due to their damage, fast reload, and exceptional accuracy.
A fast fire rate pairs wonderfully with a faster reload, and decent accuracy and range will have players shooting at targets near and far, aided further by boastful damage that will kick enemies harder than the recoil will hit Arthur. This is the perfect choice for any gunslinger who’s serious about getting into shootouts and standoffs.
