Handgun (Resident Evil 4)

The Handgun (RE:4) is the gun that Leon Kennedy begins Resident Evil 4 with. It uses 9mm handgun ammo, and is similar in looks and style to the S.T.A.R.S. Samurai Edge (a Beretta M92F). Being Leon's starting weapon, you receive it for free, but it can also be purchased from the Merchant for 8,000 ptas, and it takes up 6 spaces in Leon's inventory (3x2). The Handgun costs 198,000 ptas to upgrade, and when fully upgraded, has a resale value of 103,750 ptas.
