best pistol in the game?
What is the best pistol right now? I see a lot of ppl use spark pistol, but I don't like it too much, so still the best for me:

1) Dolch/Uppercut - meta
2) Scottfield Spitfire - almost a Dolch but with penetration(metal bullets), 2 tap is fast and will kill enemy in many examples
3) Pax - very comfy to use and mediocre fast, small recoil

Any recommendations, besides these?

I like the pax

But also like the sparks

I mean why not?

It's a long range weapon with almost no sway that you hold in 1 hand

It's also a instant kill like a shotgun up close that you hold in 1 hand, with the reload time of a Romero shotgun which I am used to.

It's a 2 part 1 slot weapon meaning ANY other weapon can still be used with it easily.

I love that addition to this game😁

No it's not a ohk weapon like shotguns up close. Only way you can kill someone in one shot with it is if they have lost some health or you hit them in head.

Spark can't one shot, also at some range and while hitting legs/arms, it's not even 2 tap with some guns. I had a lot of examples, where I used spark and then Dolch and guy survived.

Unless you are mix/maxxing, isn't the answer whatever you are most comfortable with?

Yes.

If you've bothered to "learn" a gun that you like, work out lead angles, reload time, best distance, this will work just as well as taking the "meta" weapon that you just may hate and can't hit ♥♥♥♥ with.

Just playing the perceived meta is boring as ♥♥♥♥.

Why do you think there's so many shotguns at present?
They keep getting floated as the "second meta"

Just play whatever the ♥♥♥♥ you like, learn it and have fun.

ya play w/e u want, no one ever said u shouldnt... just that there is and will always be a meta. no one has to play it. people who love meta can and should play meta

Also just as valid, yes.

Although i think a lot of players force themselves to play meta weapons they don't actually like, consequently, do not get the results they want.

Been nolifing dual Pax for the past few days. 100% would recommend.

Gonna try dual spitfires, but I'm afraid the accuracy is going to be abysmal.

I personally really enjoy the Swift. Like that you can either load/reload half the bullets or all of them and it happens pretty quick too.

just as a lot of people play non meta because it wouldnt make a difference and they cant afford meta loadouts either because they suck at a game that is very easy to make money in. but yes all this is valid. there is a spectrum of players

true, also sometimes, non-meta/basic loadouts can outperform these Dolches, etc.

that's why I play Pax so often, even that I know it's at best B tier side gun

all dual-wielding guns are kinda pointless for me, because I preffer to get angry at myself, instead of luck/RNG xd

My fav is Dolch precision and uppercut,for fanning I think Caldwell conversion pistol and nagant pistol are both good really comes down to what you like.

Officer high velocity is my personal favorite. It fits in every loadout.

I mostly agree with your list, but I would take scottfield swift over pax because it can use fmj. I do like how the pax handles better though.

Honorable mentions would be conversion, new army and officer. Conversion with fmj is an incredible budget option. New army and officer are both beasts in close range.

Hmm, maybe I'm just getting really lucky than.
Like on 3 occasions I have killed someone with sparks pistol up close with 1 bullet and they died.

Alot of time though it was a quick reaction no time to think. So maybe I just have good aim lol

But I have insta killed with it more than once at close range.
