Reading the details of Lil' Devil, the 12.7mm hand cannon, seemed to indicate it could be an advanced hold out weapon. However as I donned the Stealth Suit and attempted to break the bank at the Ultra-Luxe, it was confiscated every time. Even with an active Stealth Boy boosting my sneak to 100. Am I mistaken? Or am I missing something? I would really like to make this my go to gambler gun, but at the moment it doesn't seem possible. Any thoughts?

The 12.7 mm pistol was never a holdout weapon. Why would Lil' Devil be a holdout weapon when it is the same size as a regular 12.7 mm. Btw, it is an amazing gun, I love it.

"Like hard-hitting handguns? Then we’ve got a pair of knockouts for you. First up is this unique 12.7mm Pistol called “Li’l Devil”. It may not look like much, but it does more damage than a standard model, fires faster, and is so stubby that we’ve heard you can conceal it quite easily."

Straight from Bethblog. The last part there lead me to believe it may be a hold out weapon. Why mention concealment if it isn't? I dunno.

Well, the write-up is presented as a Gun Runners advertisemant, and salesmen are rather prone to hyperbole/exaggeration/embellishment.

Or, perhaps Peter Molyneux wrote it.

BWAHAHAHA, at least we didnt get only 1 DLC XD

-I did lol.

Ultra Luxe is also better at finding concealed weapons, if I remember correctly. Try Gomorrah or the Tops.
