Is it possible to disable / remove the Pistol?

[RZK]

I once again returned to this fantastic game, but there's one small detail that I'm getting kinda annoyed of... the Pistol.
I'm most of the time using the weapon wheel and the mouse-scroll to choose weapons and the pistol is always in the way when scrolling through the weapons.
I tend to just scroll to another weapon and start shooting when it's getting hectic in battles and the pistol is pretty much useless... I don't wanna use it, like ever.

Is there a way to temporary remove it when playing the game? It would be nice to just make it not appear when your'e scroll through the weapons at least.

First things first, the Pistol is a weapon. That's why it is on the Weapon Wheel. There have been the same complaints about the Weapon Wheel displaying the BFG too, which is also a weapon. Use specific keybinds to the individual weapons, problem solved.

That's only my personal opinion but who would want to remove the Pistol anyway? Upgraded and mastered it is stupidly powerful, it oneshots Imps and Possessed Soldiers (though the latter only by headshot) at any distance, and it is also hitscan, basically it can be used as a mini Gauss Cannon at early game. There are certain sections screaming for Pistol usage, for example the Imp bridge battle at level 05 Argent Tower.

The pistol is a good weapon to use first up in game or practice,
You might start with a few less kills but It forces you up to speed a lot faster than starting with a wide shot or tracing weapon.
