Strongest handgun that can take a suppressor?

[Agent Chieftain]

Entertaining the idea of a Sneak build using a suppressed handgun. Unfortunately, revolvers don't come with a muzzle slot. So that leaves the other pistols. Which does the most damage per shot?

Revolvers do come with a muzzle slot, the overture is a revolver, and it is literally made for a silence build, with a headshot multiplier bonus, you can pretty much one shot anything (at your level) once you get a decent overture with a silencer on it, and you get a few perks that give boost to headshot damage and stealth damage.

I think Crash (the one you get from River) has the best stats for such a build.

Really? I've found Rare Overture revolvers before, and wasn't able to apply a muzzle to it. But thanks. I'll give that a try.

Should be able to, the overture has a muzzle slot, and there is literally only one thing that you can add to a muzzle slot, a suppressor.

In theory you could use a suppressor on any other pistol (with the exception of tech pistols obviously) but the problem for them is that they have such a low base damage that it makes no sense to use a suppressor on them. The overture is the only one that makes sense to do it.

DR5 Nova iconic weapon DOOM DOOM
Fires four rounds per shot. Increases damage, rate of fire and the chance to dismember at the cost of increased recoil and bullet spread. Highly dangerous highly messy.

In general the power type weapons have muzzle slots for silencers, the tech and smart weapons do not. So power type revolvers, like the overture and DR5 Nova can have silencers, as can iconic versions of those.

Edit: Also no sniper rifles or shotguns (I think) of any type have muzzle slots

Rivers gun is good, I would use it
