I have to agree. I tried it out and I honestly felt like I did better using my other Hand Cannons. It seems that if you really like Hand Cannons you fall into one of two camps with the Exotic Tex Mechanica Hand Cannons (The Last Word or The First Curse). I'm more of a First Curse user. Maybe if I take some time to get used to TLW again I might feel differently, or I might just be better off switching back to Thorn in year 3.
