Girardi ES9 in GTA 6

Jason's sidearm, seen in his hands across several trailers and screenshots — PC Gamer's count — and one of the three weapons the Ultimate Edition names, as an engraved personal variant.

Confirmed

Jason's sidearm, and the one weapon on this page seen in the reader's own hands more than once: PC Gamer counts it across several trailers and screenshots and puts the design on the Beretta 92FS. The third of the Ultimate Edition's named three, and again what is included is a personalised variant with detailed engravings.

Named in the publisher’s own store listing. Rockstar has published no weapon statistics for GTA 6, so this page prints none.

Whose gun is the Girardi ES9?

Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.

Where has the Girardi ES9 been seen?

Shown, not stated

In Trailer 2 at 1:50, an official screenshot and the Ultimate Edition’s store listing.

Jason fires it through the passenger-side window of an orange Gauntlet Hellfire (Trailer 2 at 1:50). Jason holds a plain black one while sitting on an Alvino V1 motorcycle (an official screenshot). Named as Jason’s pistol, with a personalised engraved variant in the Ultimate Edition (the Ultimate Edition’s store listing). None of it shows how the gun handles — Rockstar has published no weapon statistics for GTA 6.

Still open — Damage, rate of fire, magazine size and how it is obtained in play — no frame or listing shows them.

What real gun is the Girardi ES9 based on?

Said on record

The Beretta 92FS, as the people who studied Rockstar’s images read it.

PC Gamer puts the design on the Beretta 92FS. GTA Wiki’s editors see the personalised Ultimate Edition variant as closer to the M9A4, with frame rails and front slide serrations.

Still open — Rockstar never names a real firearm, so no reading here will ever be confirmed by the publisher.

Is the Girardi ES9 in the Ultimate Edition?

Stated

The Ultimate Edition includes a personalised variant of Jason’s ES9 with detailed engravings.

The listing names it among the edition’s exclusive items. Pre-orders opened on 25 June 2026; the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 and the standard edition $79.99.

Still open — How the standard edition’s players get it, if they can — the listing does not say.

What is written on the personalised Girardi ES9?

Said on record

The grip panels read “sua sponte” — Latin for “of one’s own accord”.

GTA Wiki’s editors read the phrase off the Ultimate Edition screenshot and note that it is the motto of the US Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment. Rockstar has not said what, if anything, it means for Jason.

How we checked this page

Two kinds of evidence meet on this page. The Ultimate Edition listing settles that an engraved Girardi exists; how often Jason carries one is PC Gamer's count across trailers and screenshots, cited here and not recounted by us. No weapon statistic has been published for this game, so every figure in the stat strip is derived and marked as such.

  • The actual damage model, and whether it is per-shot or per-second.
  • Recoil behaviour, which no published material describes.
  • Carry limit — how many weapons can be held at once.
  • Ammunition economy, and whether ammo is bought or found.
  • Whether any mission restricts or replaces the loadout.
