more manageable recoil. some handgun are realy nice. I love Sig 226 (SAS handgun) P9 or P26
(GIGN / GSG9 ) you can land more shot in CQB than let's say an assault rifle. but you need to aim fast and be reactive.

I realy want a "Handgun only" mode.

TL;DR : I love handgun

[Ziggurat-06]

It can still kill. No problems there

There is no benifet other then low recoil. Only time you should use your pistol is if you run out of ammo on your primary.

Damage drop off.

headshot is the answer.

The only time I can think that a pistol would be advantageous is perhaps where your primary is a shotgun and your target is at a fair distance. The damage, capacity and refire of the primary weapons are almost always preferrable to the sidearms available. Then again, people occasionally use Tachanka. Sometimes playing at a self-imposed handicap can be fun, just be careful not to get so obsessed with your own personal game that it detriments your teammates overmuch.

Unless your primary is a shotgun, no.

[Record]

High Fire-Rate+Low Recoil, if you don't count the Deagle and Magnum.
I'd ofcourse rather have a rifle but sidearms aren't underpowered, you should be able to easily use one.

i get head shots on the first or second shot. specialy works best with shield, montage, bltz or fuze. there is a timing to fire. when you oppoent keeps on firing and emptys hig mag, now is the time, mostly works with attackers
