The HPSS-1m is a 9x19mm caliber pistol that appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. It was also cut from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

This article or section is based on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl cut content and may contain inaccurate information or speculation. |
|---|
This pistol deserves to be considered as one of the best pistols of the 20th century. It is reliable, powerful and has a good grouping of shots. The magazine can hold 13 rounds.
― In-game description
The weapon was cut from the final version of Shadow of Chernobyl. However, functional files - i.e. animations, model, stats - still exist within the game files, meaning one can spawn a functional HPSS-1m with the use of modifications.
Due to its cut nature, several statistics of the weapon are unusual; in particular, the weapon has an effective range of 1000 meters, and its damage value is equal to that of the Vintar BC, although it is worse in practice due to ammunition multipliers. It is also less durable than other pistols of the game (save for the Martha), but it is still very durable.

Clear Sky[]
Browning deserves its reputation as one of the best handguns of the 20th century. Reliable, powerful and precise, it holds up to 13 9x19 mm rounds.
― In-game description
It deals the same amount of damage as all other 9x19mm pistols, however it shoots slower and has a smaller magazine capacity. The 13 round capacity is better than the 9x18mm pistols, but it is beat out by guns like the Martha and the Walker P9m. This makes the gun a generally average all-around pistol. It's nothing special, but is a noticeable upgrade from some of the first pistols the player encounters.
Acquisition[]
It can be acquired in the Cordon near the entrances to the Garbage, and more can be found in the Garbage. Ashot, Sidorovich and Thrush also sell this weapon.
The following stashes hold this weapon:
- Electrical panel in workshop
- Stash under young fir tree
- Stash at the tower
- Safe in hangar
- Pipe in tunnel
This weapon is carried mostly by experienced Loners, Bandits, and Renegades.

Unique variants[]
- HPCS-1 - a unique variant that was cut from the final release of the game.
Call of Pripyat[]
A modified model of a pistol from the first half of the 20th century, which is as reliable, powerful and accurate as the original. Pistols of this series deserve their reputation as one of the best handguns of the 20th century and are in great demand in the Zone.
― In-game description
Upgrade view.
It is a good all-rounder, but other pistols are better at filling niche fields, such as the Black Kite for damage, the UDP Compact for rate of fire and damage, or the PMm for weight. The only thing where the HPSS-1m is best is its magazine capacity - it can be upgraded to 17 bullets, which is the biggest of all pistols.
Not much has changed from its other appearances as far as specs go, but a noted concern is that since it shares ammo with the Viper 5 - if one carries both in their inventory they may find themselves abruptly out of ammo, a concern considering 9x19mm relative rarity. On the other hand, carrying the same type of ammunition for both weapons simplifies ammunition requirements and allows the player to carry more 9x19 mm ammunition when it may otherwise be taken up by another ammunition type.
Acquisition[]
The HPSS-1m is a fairly common weapon; it is sold by Owl and Hawaiian by default, and experienced stalkers of most factions use this pistol as their sidearm.
Tremor carries this pistol, and it can be obtained at the end of the mission Missing Stalkers, either after the player kills him or he commits suicide.
Upgrades[]
 Moving bolt section (300 RU)  Fire rate +10%Provides an increase in rate of fire without overloading other parts through additional recoil.

|
 Integrated barrel lifting compensator (900 RU) Recoil -30%Introduction of additional compensation holes brings about a significant reduction in recoil.
|
 Long barrel section (300 RU) Flatness +10%Replacement of a regular barrel with a longer one improves accuracy and flatness, but reduces the rate of fire.
|

|
 Sinusoidal rifling of barrel (900 RU) Fire rate +25%Allows barrel heat to be reduced and increases the rate of fire without sacrificing flatness.
