The hand canon could use a little tweak. I love the idea of being dirty harry and just blowing dregs away, but instead of asking them if they feel lucky it's more like if I feel lucky. It just can't compete with the rifles.
It just doesn't belong in the primary slot. Put it in the special weapon slot and buff its damage. Its a skill weapon with a low amo count, and it a good medium range weapon between the shotgun and sniper. It belongs there and them maybe it can get the love and respect it deserves. =)

Please don't make Hand Cannons Special. It's so very refreshing having a game where I don't have a rifle of some sort on my screen all the time. Rifles are just so... boring.
