Best Pistol or Revolver

[Killermoose69]

whats your go to Pistol or Revolver and why?

[Six of Saturn]

Archangel is best revolver. High crit dmg.
Death and Taxes(each shot splits into two shots), TBH Dying Night is also very good through the whole game as long as it stays upgraded.
Genjiroh high crit chance.
Comrade’s Hammer just dont miss.

There are really good others these just feel the best to me.

For stealth purposes? I just get my hands on a legendary overture. Until you get your hands on River's overture there's not really a better choice for high single shot damage.

- Dying Night. It multiplies your headshot bonuses by 50% and its fully automatic. Its absurd you get it at the beginning of the game

- Lizzie is basically a shotgun with better spread.

-Genjiroh is one of the best crowd control weapons in the game.

- Death and Taxes is the best stealth weapon in the game.

i like Dying Night but the only thing is that it drains ammo so fast lol

elaborate on death and taxes for stealth? Does the bullet "split" also split the damage or full dmg on both projectiles, 2 chances to crit for stealth?

2 different full damage bullets

I like Comrade's Hammer simply for the BOOM effect

[Doombringer]

I like quasar because shooting through walls is a thing ;)

Also random loot tech weapons get the best abilities (you have to save scum to get legendaries with ability+max slots from gig epic/legendary lootboxes though)

Tech abilities (~50% chance on rare/epic/legendary tech guns from lootboxes) are:
2shot (but 75% the rate of fire, some weapons actually fire 3shots at 5/6 the RoF...)
up to +40% damage (scales based on charge)
+25% charge multiplier (just worse than the +40% ability)
+10% damage when fully charged (just worse than other +damage abilities)
-50% charge needed to penetrate walls (this is added to other reductions)
-50% charge time (this is added to other charge time reductions, so can be up to -85% - REALLY good on achilles and nekomata because charge time is what makes their rate of fire so bad normally)
-{stat_0}% charge time (this is actually -12%, just worse than -50%)

These miss out on the stat buffs mob drop/vendor/crafted weapons get, but the good abilities on tech weapons are worth losing 4.5% crit chance or whatever for.

Comrade's Hammer is pretty great for its ability penetrate walls for a single extremely high damage shot. Other than that, any of the Overture revolver iconic variants (Amnesty, Archangel, Crash) will do just fine.

Skippy can be fun to have around.

I missed the chance to get this early in the game. Now there is no way to obtain this anymore.

Doom Doom is the strongest handgun in the game, powerful revolver but does 4x more damage than any other revolver. Unfortunately its one of the most easily missable guns, you have to ally with Maelstrom in Act 1 and can only be gotten just before the start of Act 3.

It can also install suppressor and sight mods.

Not anymore.....got nerfed

I've been using and continuously upgrading the Lizzie pistol since the minute it was available...it's awesome. I always have a silenced scoped revolver for ninja wetwork...sometimes a Nova, sometimes an Overture. I always take Johnny's Malorian pistol into the final raid on Arasaka to finish off Adam Smasher with. It just feels right.

[Darkaiser]

I like Johnny's gun for the NOVA_COOL reload animation!
