For the pistol, you need to venture out to the sea. On certain points out at sea, you will notice a buoy or makeshift raft of some sort. The exact location of the raft you should investigate is marked on the map below.


If you walk even further to the shoreline, you can find where the makeshift raft is. It is indicated by a purple GPS marker. It is recommended to get a wetsuit to help you while swimming in the sea. You can get a wetsuit in Sons of the Forest at the same cave where you can get the shovel. Once you have your wetsuit equipped, just swim out there. When you get close enough, press E to climb inside the tent-like structure on the raft. Look around and you will find the pistol resting on a magazine. You should also pick up the purple GPS locator here.
