How to unlock the Pimp My Sidearm achievement in Grand Theft Auto V - Definitive Guide

Easiest and most cost effective solution is to use the Sawed-Off Shotgun which becomes available to you when you unlock the ability to play as Trevor and complete his first mission Mr Phillips.

The gun is only $300 to buy, and as it has no proper attachments you only need to buy one tint to unlock it. Cheapest tint is the Army Tint at $100 bringing the total to only $400.

The achievement unlocked after I applied the tint and exited the menu.

This achievement can be easily done after completing the fourth story mission when you gain control of Michael outside the car dealership. At this point in the story, he will have around $7,500.

Make you way to the nearest Ammu-Nation gun store and select the “Standard Handgun” Pistol. Purchase all five upgrades and the achievement will unlock. This will only set you back approximately $3,381 in total:

  • Extended Clip - $387
  • Flashlight – $472
  • Suppressor - $1,822
  • Army Tint - $100
  • LSPD Tint – $600

Alternatively, if you have a Rockstar Social Club account and your gamertag is linked to it, you will be given a free weapon (Assault SMG) when you start the game. All of the mods for this weapon are also free, so head to an Ammu-Nation store and equip both the SMG and all the attachments in order to unlock the achievement. The SMG can be found on the right side of the wall when browsing through the weapon selection.

This is a very simple trophy and can be earned either online, or in single-player as soon as you complete the "Complications" story mission as Michael. You will only need $3,381 which you should have by this point. Simply go to any Ammu-Nation store, select "Pistol" and buy the following to unlock this trophy:
  • Extended Clip - $387
  • Flashlight - $472
  • Suppressor - $1822
  • Army Tint - $100
  • LSPD Tint - $600
Furthermore you can even earn this trophy for free. If you have the Special/Collector's Edition of the game, you will receive the Pistol .50 and the Bullpup Shotgun for free as soon as you enter an Ammu-Nation store. Simply "buy" all available attachments (they're all free) for either of these to unlock this trophy. Similarly, linking your PSN ID to the Rockstar Social Club will unlock the Assault SMG and all attachments for that will be free to.

[AUTOPOP] If you import an existing character from PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 with which you've already attained this trophy, begin an activity such as a race and you'll unlock the trophy.

The trophy is very easy. Immediately after completing task 2, do not go to Simon. Next to his store (on the right), there will be a weapons store. There we select the free Assault SMG and buy an extended magazine + silencer and free bonuses for it. We need $150 for everything

To unlock it, you need to register in the “Rockstar Games Social Club” link

and link your PSN ID to your account. They will also give you more goodies! Details here

The easiest and cheapest option would be to upgrade a 45 caliber pistol.

You will need to buy two clip upgrades, a flashlight, a silencer and three types of coloring.
