The Revolver is the default secondary weapon for the Spy. Basing itself off of a Colt Python, it is a full-size, double-action, six-shot revolver with ivory grips and a swing-out cylinder.
The Spy's only ranged weapon, the Revolver serves as a reliable way to fend off enemies who are at a range, and also often serves as an excellent backup plan for failed backstab attempts.
The Revolver is strong enough at close range to take out the lower-health classes with two or three well-aimed shots. However, its purpose is to have something to fall back on in case of trouble, rather than straight-up attacking.
This weapon is fairly accurate and deals moderate damage, with some damage falloff when firing at distant targets. Like the Submachine Gun and the Pistol, the Revolver fires a single, perfectly-accurate shot before 'bullet-spread' takes effect, provided the player has waited 1.25 seconds since their last shot.

Trivia
- The Spy reloads this weapon by using a device called a speedloader. As the name suggests, this allows for all six chambers in the cylinder to be quickly reloaded all at once, as opposed to having to insert each cartridge individually.
- The Revolver bears a striking resemblance to the real-world Colt Diamondback and Colt Python.
- The logo on the handle is noticeably similar to that of firearms manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Company, Incorporated.
- A popular custom modification to various Revolver models made when Team Fortress 2 takes place was to remove the original barrel from the frame, and replace it with the barrel from another Revolver, typically a Colt Python. These weapons were considered to be much more accurate than their non-modified counterparts, and it is feasible that the Spy's Revolver is modeled after one such custom weapon.
