I bet you're all thinking, "Scout can handle the meanest guns out there, he wouldn't use a tiny gun, he's too awesome for that." And you'd be right, I am awesome. Then I realized I could tell people that they are going to be killed BY THE SMALLEST GUN KNOWN TO MAN! Then kill them. Ma always said don't make threats you can't carry out.
Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol publicity blurb

The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is a community-created secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a small, black pistol with a short barrel and light-colored wooden grips.

While the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is active, the player will be awarded 3 health points per bullet that hits an enemy (similar to the Blutsauger), and the weapon fires 15% faster than the Pistol. However, the clip size is 25% smaller, down to 9 shots per clip compared to the Pistol's 12 shots.

The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Trivia

  • This weapon's name is a reference to Charles Arthur Floyd, nicknamed "Pretty Boy Floyd", a 1930s bank robber.
  • The design is mostly based on the Colt 1908 Vest Pocket Pistol, which was often used by criminals for covert killings.
  • The design is also similar to some concept art of the original stock Pistol.
