We’re still working for Mechanic, but Gunsmith – Part 9 is a total pivot compared to the older AK-focused steps you may remember. In the current version of the quest, Mechanic wants a pistol build built around the SIG P226R, with specific Stainless Elite parts, an extended magazine, and a flashlight/tactical device, while staying within strict ergonomics and recoil limits. If you don’t wanna go into details, check the image below:
