What can replace the Thorn (temporary)?

This is an honest question and since there are a few ways to play with a handcannon, especially during PVP. I play cautiously and pick people off usually when they least expect it. That means I'm not "in your face" and The Last Word doesn't fit my play style. I'm wondering if there are any suggestions as to another handcannon that might sacrifice a bit of clip size for impact that could have decent perks(vendor bought). Stability isn't too much if an issue but I do love stability perks. -sigh- ...or they could just fix the Thorn now before Iron Banner is over. ****Please don't tell me The Last Word, I use ADS a lot with Knucklehead Radar.

    If you're looking for an all-out stability build, go with the Red Hand (given you get a lucky RNG roll with Counterbalance) as it has the highest base stability of all HandCs with a decent Impact the only thing that suffers is Range. Even then this thing is a more accurate, harder hitting, Last Word with slightly more range at the cost of automatic shots. Your effective fire-rate due to the stability is insane. However if you're looking for a high-powered option nothing surpasses Timur's Lash, just be sure to nab a model with Field Scout. Two headshots and the guy will die from a snail licking his boot. If your opponent has no specs to Armor/is three levels under you than you can bring him down with just the two headshots. It also has the best range of all HandCs.
