So i gave up on Hand Cannons a while ago and used them more for PvE until i got a hold of what i honestly think is the perfect Imago Loop from Undying Mind strike lol 335 Imago with Rangefinder, Life Support, and Rifled Barrel...i put it on my hunter and been using gunslinger with Gambler perk and Incendiary Blade for two Incendiary knives, topped off with Ahamkara Spines that has Hand Cannon Loader for Reload Speed make up in Rifled Barrel and Two Tripmines.... Lets just say the Hand Cannon makes a powerful 3-shot kill from what id say a distant Medium Range area. I typically land 87 dmg on Precision Shots at a long range and can get pretty frequent Double Kills or more just from the Hand Cannon alone. Playing on Frontier in Crucible, if you start on the side of the map where Zone C would be in Control. Go to the middle entrance leading to the bridge and from were the walls end on the entrance to the literal middle wall of the bridge (the curve inside the wall), it still hits 87 on Precision Shots and body shots do from 1/4 to 1/5 of health bar from that range. Now "Ghost Bullet Syndrome" still can happen but if you land precision shots after it, you can still snag a narrow escape kill or kill them with taking some damage. Sometimes you take almost none. But yea, if ya'll find Hand Cannon's (Recommend the Higher Impact ones like Imago Loop, Eyasluna, The Devil You Know,etc) with Rangefinder and it has Rifled Barrel. Don't be afraid of the stability drop because you will be fighting more ranged 1v1's and being able to squirm out most of them alive. *Forewarning: Sidearms, High Rate of fire Auto Rifles and some Pulse Rifles can out pace you really fast and most times you may want to aim for headshots, close some of the distance, get off some prior damage with grenade/melee, or avoid them unless you see someone damage them or they can't see you. Other than that, i haven't really had any problems with the other weapon classes. Feel free to give some feedback! I honestly am happy to have gotten this hand cannon with those perks on it and i want to see Hand Cannon's take over the meta again, not with The Last Word or Hawkmoon only. But with all hand cannons getting some killing time ^.^
