Which Pistol works best for you?
I've started using the "Unending Magnificent" with corrosive element.

I've seen the Kaleidoscope & tried it but wasn't so impressed, still good though. Before that I was using a corrosive "Roisen's Thorns" although it's more like a shotgun than a pistol.

I know different skills, artifacts, classmods & annointments can change things slightly.

One thing I don't like or want to use is Jakobs so I'm interested in any other pistols as an upgrade/replacement to my Unending Magnificent.(if there is one?) Not interested in YT top 10 lists I'd rather people reply who've actually used the pistol(s) themselves. What I've noticed with a few guns that I tested in the firing range with damage (for example), is there's a difference between the numbers on the dummy & then using that gun in practice. Standing still with a static target at a set distance versus a moving target shooting back at me hiding in cover at various distances.

Oh & just incase some people start violently shaking & frothing at the mouth, I'm playing on PS4, that's why there's no mouse icon =]

I think the Roisen's Thorns is great, doing corrosive and fire splash damage in a pretty decent area. Sadly not quite enough damage for Mayhem 4 imo but other than that a really cool gun.

Otherwise MOARR Linoge is pretty good for just hosing out bullets at medium range

+1 to Hellshock. Seeing 100k+ damage lines from a pistol is satisfying. :p
Record is 400k M4TVHM lul. Thing is a beast.
My favourite pistol however is the SkekSil, its a great pistol, sadly even if I use corrosive on say, Wotan, it does less damage than Hellshock Shock mode, even though the element match up is in SkekSil's favour.

The Shock Devils Foursum is really good of you can find one earlier in the campaign as you can then take out crowds easily with its massive splash damage. I just finished the story with a lvl17 gun and was one shooting the guardians before Tyreen with it.

Hellshock
Nemesis
Maggie

Hydrafrost disappointed me a bit.

Got a few more stocked up but do not really get to test them all enough.
So iam very interested in hearing about personal tier list of other players.

I'll have to check if I have that on one of my mule characters

I can only see an incendiary version in my bank but I'll try it

I have a corrosive & incendiary versions in my bank but I didn't like the burst fire compared to the full auto & extended mag of the "Unending" especially with my 50% mag size artifact. The continuous fire means I can afford to miss shots (when enemies dash/dodge abruptly) where as missing with burst fire can mean 2 reloads on top of that. In that small amount of time the enemy may have re-positioned & hid behind cover, shot back, thrown a grenade, etc

Maggie or bust. Though the Nemesis certainly helps as an alternative when normal bullets are nerfed. Or versus certain enemies.

Yeah I've had fun using the Nemesis (a while ago) but wanted to know what other pistols people use to try something different.

Dmg + firing rate make it insanely OP and can reduce to cinder mobs of virtually any size.

If I had to pick one, the Maggie. Loved it since BL2, and STILL love it in BL3.
