I'm more than okay with it as a Primary. Most people prefer the Scout Rifles due to all around superiority, but the Hand Cannon does more damage (At least at close range, in my experience). Not to mention, I feel like I need to focus on my aim a bit more because of the small mags, whereas with a Scout Rifle, I can take a few shots and adjust my aim as necessary in response to enemy movement. Though it is somewhat odd to have a handgun as a primary, I suppose. FYI, my opinion is totally biased since I fricken' love revolvers in any game.
