Secondly, a handgun should (but doesn’t have to) compensate downsides of your primary weapon.

Finally, some experience will help you choose a handgun.

But if you use it to kill enemies from a distance, choose a slow, but powerful revolver.

Handguns aren’t used very often, so unlocking every model might take ages.

Servers that allow only this key in of weapons are really useful.

you’ve got the option to experiment with them to adjust your weapon to more specialised conditions.

All the other accessories are optional and using them depends on your preferences and experience.

Unfortunately, it won’t help on longer distance because it has a strong horizontal recoil to the left.

Aside from that, P226 is an average gun with a decent clip and short reloading time.

PC

Recommended accessories:Laser sight, Compensator.

Vertical recoil is easy to control, but horizontal is quite strong on both sides.

Long time of reloading is definitely its biggest disadvantage.

QSZ is a bit better on medium distance.

It has a high rate of fire, but low damage.

Recommended accessories:Laser sight, Muzzle Brake.

PC

In terms of recoil, it’s almost the same as QSZ.

The legendary Colt M1911 should make your enemies tremble in fear.

It’s one of two strongest guns in the game (except revolvers).

Its huge damage comes with a price.

Xbox

It has a small clip, so you need a bit of experience to use it.

Luckily, it’s not that hard because M1911 has a very low vertical and horizontal recoil.

Perfect for medium distance.

Recommended accessories:Laser sight, Muzzle Brake or no attachment.

Beretta 93R is an automatic gun as well, but it shoots three bullet bursts.

<12,5~50 metres

This Czech gun is one more option for players who prefer precision.

A very “tight” recoil and average rate of fire make it very easy to use.

It’s perfect on medium distance, but its clip capacity is quite limited.

It’s really hard to control and might not be enough while fighting on short distance against faster guns.

Recommended accessories:Laser sight, Heavy Barrel or Muzzle Brake.

This inconspicuous, small gun is the hardest to unlock for a reason.

It deals most damage in its class, shoots fast and accurately, but it has a small clip.

Good for any distance, as long as 11 bullets are enough for you to kill an enemy.

H&K Compact 45 is a direct upgrade from Colt M1911.

These downsides are compensated by a shorter reload time and faster stabilization.

Unlike the Magnum, it can’t be equipped with a scope.
