Faction Hand cannons are also acceptable. I used to use the thorn for everything until I bought the last word. Used that for pvp until I bought TFWPKY 1969. I used THAT until I finally grinded iron banner enough to buy timur's lash. Not very leveled though. Edit: since HoW, I have been using more weapon types but I will always stay true to fatebringer for most PvE encounters and thorn for PvP because your tears are delicious.

My favorite hand cannons are: 1) Fate Bringer (I have 1 unfortunately) levelled up to 365 rocks POE - Arc damage, Explosive rounds (for vex) and Firefly make all enemies go boom.. 2) Word of Crota (I have 2) with Void damage and explosive rounds for vex, great for Hive too. 3) Timmurs Lash (I have 2) with Field Scout (13 rounds) and fast reload perks like Outlaw or Spry and Pray does 1906 damage with a critical hit and is a total beast. If I could get both Explosive rounds and Field Scout at the same time (you can't cause they occupy the same slot), it would be my go to gun all the time. 4) "Red Hand IX" or the new "Up The Ante" with explosive rounds, fast reload perks are also great ones too.
