The pistol you get after finishing The Saboteur. Pretty sure that thing one shotted every enemy you could possibly come across.

So many choices;

The Mk.II from MGS; Silenced, 1 shot take down, non lethal, perfect accuracy over any range. The perfect stealth weapon and essential for speed runs.

The M1911A1 from MGS3 and BF;BC2; This gun is always great in games.

Ebony and Ivory from DMC; Infinite ammo as standard, never need reloading, can defy the laws of physics by allowing the user to levitate. Awesome.

The Enforcer from Unreal Tournament. Comes with single or burst fire, can be dual wielded. Surprisingly deadly.

Plasma Pistol from Fallout 3; it turns people into goo. 'Nuff said.

Any revolver; Revolvers are badass. 'Nuff said.

Any high level pistol from Borderlands. They come with such effects as electric shock, corrosive acid, incindiary or explosive rounds (but then so did most guns in that game), some also come with regening ammo, the ability not to reload, richocheting or sidewinding bullets and many other abilities.

'That Gun' from Fallout Vegas I just love the whine it makes when you reload it, you can get it pretty early in the game and can find tons of ammo for it.



Also it has a good pedigree :p

and 'The price of That Gun when buying it from Cliff Briscoe is 1337 caps'

X-Com UFO Defence / Enemy Unknown Laser Pistol.

Its a Pistol with a combination of high speed fire, decent accuracy, low weight and unlimited ammunition.

Best sidearm in a game? The Halo: ODST Magnum. If you've got a fast enough trigger finger, than it's practically a machine pistol, and it's also scoped and silenced.

I just got the hunting revolver from Orvitz or something the scheming bodyguard in New Vegas Freeside. Also nice is Maria, the gun you get off dead Benny. Now this category can count towards aesthetic or performance. Outside of video games, hands down the coolest handgun is Dekkard's from Bladerunner.
Actually that reminds me of what is possibly one of the best handguns in the game (excluding the alien blaster). That Gun. It's essentially the new rendition of the .223 handgun from fallout 1 and 2. It's apparently modeled after Dekkards gun and you can sort of see the resemblance (the .223 looked way closer though). Even though it only has five rounds per clip, it can be reloaded way faster than any other revolver, it has a good rate of fire, each shot is quite powerful and it has critical multiplier of 2.5. It is fun.

This, hands down. It just makes it's own headshots (Boltok pistol from the Gears of War series)



Although if we're including films ....... (pistol from Hellboy)

Well I wouldn't call it the best but the Silverballer from Hitman series always stood out even more so in Blood Money where you could upgrade it with magnum rounds/low velocity rounds, extended clip, silencer, laser sight, scope and full auto.

ORRRRR the pistol from Turok Evolution the thing turned into a freaking sniper rifle.

The phoenix pistol for Perfect Dark.
Primary fire is not too powerful,classic pew pew mode with plenty of ammo to work with.However,secondary fire lets you unleash all kinds of hell.For NO EXTRA AMMO COST, you get to fire explosive rounds.

Recap:handgun that fires as fast as you can click,explosive rounds and plenty of ammo.
Bonus points: you can akimbo it and it's an alien gun.

Either these:


Or These:


Because any gun with rapid fire and unlimited ammo is good in my book.

Might of been said, but I'm going to have to go with the Darkness Guns
As in the hand-held electric mini-gun and pocket railgun
Yet to encounter anything more badass then those guns
