	Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm).

	The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

	The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true.

	In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns.

	Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving ~~"something" a crank; realistically, it would've been~~ the wind-up key~~, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model~~. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

	The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then ~~energetically~~ ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

	It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).
