Press pack · snt-00100 · usable frame · detail · 691 × 648 px © Rockstar Games The whole frame at 3840 × 2160, scaled down to fit — never enlarged. The box marks the crop exactly as we measured it, and that crop is the detail alongside, at its true size.

A stainless pistol with a ribbed collar at the muzzle and green fibre-optic sights, held low in Lucia's hand in a teal-lit frame from the Jason and Lucia press set.

The crop holds a hand, a forearm and the front half of the pistol, pointing down and towards the camera. The muzzle face shows two openings, the bore above and a smaller one below it, and behind them sits a collar with four ribs cut round it. A green fibre-optic dot sits on the front sight, and two more on the rear sight further back along the slide.

A compensator is the obvious reading of that collar and the frame does not confirm it: a barrel bushing and a plug can look the same from in front.

The whole press image settles whose hand it is: Lucia’s, shot from below under a strip light in a steel-clad interior, with her sunglasses pushed up into her hair, a plaid shirt tied round her waist and Jason at her shoulder in a white vest. Inside the crop the pistol hangs over that shirt, which is the red and white check under the muzzle, against a teal-lit wall.

Where it sits in the series: GTA 5’s pistols took a suppressor from the start, and a compensator arrived only later, as a muzzle attachment for the Pistol Mk II in GTA Online’s Gunrunning update. A collar that is part of the gun as carried, if that is what this is, would be new.

How to recognise it

  • A ribbed collar at the muzzle end, four ribs
  • Two openings at the muzzle face: the bore and a smaller one beneath
  • Green fibre-optic dots on the front and rear sights
  • Held low in Lucia's right hand, pointing down, over red and white check cloth

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the subject occupies 691 by 648 of it. Also in it: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.

What we still do not know

  • Whether the collar is a compensator or the gun’s own bushing. From in front the two look alike.
  • Whether it is the same pistol Lucia carries in the other frames of the press set

A note on this record

This page called the collar a compensator, fitted rather than machined, until 20 September 2026; neither half of that is visible. On 25 September 2026 the description of the wider press image moved into the link to Lucia's page, and the GTA 5 comparison was corrected: its pistols took a suppressor from the start.
