When to use Pistols
Pistols are your sidearm: the backup you draw when the primary runs dry or a fight starts too close for a rifle. They all sit on the WARDOG track, so they unlock as your overall level rises.
The GGX 17 and GGX 18 share 9mm damage, but the GGX 18 can fire full auto. The M1911 fires harder-hitting .45 ACP, and the Deagle's .50 AE hits for the most damage of any pistol per shot. The Judge is a revolver that fires .45 Colt.
Carry the best pistol you have unlocked on every loadout. A full-auto GGX 18 helps close-range fights, while the Deagle rewards accurate players with near-rifle damage per hit.
