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.
Edit 1: just found out about a rare queen handcannon called merciful. Thoughts?
Edit 2: Thanks for all the comments guys! Didn't know this would get so popular. Hand cannon users rule!
Edit 3: We did it guys! We made to highest rated!
Edit 4: FATEBRINGER MASTER RACE!!!
Edit 5: With the massive influx of new Hand cannons I thought it was time for a necrobump.
Edit 6: 4000+ replies! New record!
Edit 7: Just got Ill will and I'm wondering what I should roll for. Suggestions?
Final edit: I GOT HAWKMOON. AFTER HUNDREDS OF HOURS I FINALLY GOT MY PRECIOUS HAWKMOON.

Thorn and Fatebringer. But only cuz I have no Hawkmoon ;)

I have maxed thorn, TLW, devil you don't, working on the chance. I missed out on timers lash last night!!! Had about 1000 exp left until rank 5, but I had to get up at 5am for work. Couldn't manage to stay up. But I did get an amazing roll on the Speer

The fatebringer

I'd say thorn for pvp, plan on getting last word, and for pve Fatebringer/red hand XI with explosive round, precision reload and luck in the chamber.

So far I've probably used the devil you know the longest. Mine has a useful set of perks.

Pvp last word pve Fatebringer

Fatebringer for PvE, TLW for crucible

Thorn, used to use TDYK whenever I wanted to use a different exotic but its old damage cap :(
-
On xbox1...pvp thorn....pve Fate bringer
-
Tough call. Kind of depends on what I'm doing. Lower level mobs Thorn all day long but the rest of the time Hawkmoon.
-
Very tough call. For PVE - Fatebringer For PVP - Thorn mostly, but have started using Hawkmoon too. I just got the latest damage version of Timurs Lash though and reforged it so I will be levelng it up. I have really like the rate of fire and impact on the IB hand cannons.
-
Any HC with similar stat values as TDYK, hard impact, but not too slow of a fire rate, perk roll dictates if it is worth using or not
-
Hawkmoon or fatebringer

Edited by Nunchuckz007: 1/20/2015 2:58:50 PMDark Below Level Hand cannons that I own (I have fatebringer, but am leaving it out): 1) Thorn - awesome hand cannon, but because it is exotic, must be left on the shelf on occassion 2) Tamur's Lash - Outlaw, Fieldscout/Penetrating rounds/Who's Next - I love the fast reload, hits like a truck 3) TFWPKY 1969 - Like the gun, but the reload is frustratingly slow. Use it on my hunter 4) The Chance - hits hard, only 6 rounds...meh 5) Last word - never use it

I am a hand common enthusiast. Have soooo many hand cannons now. All the exotics, factions, vendors and Timmur's lash. Lash with damage after kill does the most average damage per shot. 1906 then 2194 on the second guy. Been using this a lot the last couple days with good results. Thorn is the only one that single shots to the body on almost any red tag enemy. Just have to wait for the burn. It's a monster in Crucible. Venation, Red Hand, Chance, TWKY and the Devil are all alright... Nothing special about them. Would use any of them over any non-raid legendary auto, scout or pulse rifle. Hawkmoon is a monster. Biggest damage per shot when the ability triggers. Think it's around 2290. Last Word isn't built for PvE. Situationally amazing in PvP. Also situationally horrible at certain times. But there is still one gun I find myself using 90% of the time. FateBringer. The arc damage, excessively large firefly explosion, and only being legendary make this the best primary all around. Period. Really looking forwards to the Crota's End hand cannon. Not sure it could replace the FateBringer but having a second void burn primary option would be nice.

Fatebringer but the Venation III made me love hand cannons to begin with.
