What 9mm pistol do you like the most?

[Muton]

I'm trying to decide which pistol to use..SG09, Punisher or Blacktail.
I like the use of laser sight, but the blacktail has higher power and smaller..SG09 has only .1 more damage than Punisher.. Matilda looks interesting but takes a lot of space with stock and could be a waste of ammo if youre forced into 3-round bursts

The Blacktail is the one I like the most. The rate of fire and damage are good, but what makes this gun my favorite is the accuracy and recoil control. If you let the reticle settle after each shot it returns to where you originally pointed it, making it much easier to shoot the same spot multiple times.

I went with the Red 9 because it's what I used in the original. Once fully upgraded, it did not disappoint. It has the highest damage, accuracy and ammo count of any pistol (if you compare max stats). Since pistol ammo is the most prevalent ammo in the game, it's also the most worth upgrading fully. I don't blame people for going with the Blacktail, as it has the best handling of any pistol. The Matilda I believe is a bit of a meme weapon, although if you have the infinite ammo car ears, it could be amazing.

Sentinel 9 is the best.

If you want to do Minimalist run without Cat Ears (like I did), then use Sentinel 9 AND Punisher AND Matilda.

The game drops will drop more pistol ammo if you have none in your case. So you can just keep all 3 guns fully loaded to always be secure on ammo supply.

Use Sentinel 9 with laser dot as your main gun. Use Punisher when enemies line up in a row (including the plaga that hop on enemies backs) or when dealing with enemies that have wooden shields. Use Matilda with stock as a last resort, for popping wiggly worms, and for bosses.

Do NOT craft ammo unless you run out in the middle of a fight or have zero ammo at all. The game will drop you more ammo when you get low, then you can use those resources to empty an entire Matida mag into a boss, craft more, then do it again.

Whatever one makes their heads explode when I fire it.

whats so good about Sentinel 9? I dont have it though. High Ammo capacity is kind of a secondary thing

I like it due to the exclusive (High crits) same as SG. It also sounds pleasing to my ears and it looks pretty cool.

[Muton]

I'm assuming you keep all your upgrades at New Game + ? Cuz on my first playthough all Ive been able to upgrade are the damages on each weapon type, nowhere close to getting exclusives

[D. Flame]

Sentinel 9 can use laser, high ammo capacity, and it just generally the best all arounder.

Ghost and Punisher in my storage for when I get to the castle and have to deal with Shields. The ghost's crit rate is awesome it will one shot a lot of ganados even if you don't shot them in the head. Haven't tried the sentinel 9 since I only pre-ordered the standard addition.

[Muton]

ghost?

[Morgoth]

SG-09, The SG stands for Silver ghost.

silver ghost>>>>>> any other hand gun

You can kill most Ganados in the game with 1 bullet, (except the ones that throw & shoot stuff). If you just stand at a certain distance they will run at you almost every time. Just shot one of their legs while they're running, and they will fall right in front of you for an easy stab insta-kill. The knife stab also prevents the plaga head mutations from popping out. Laser sight compatible handguns, and the primal knife make this even easier.

There's no clear cut winner though, it all comes down to personal preference.
