G22[]
Cost: $200
$200 per kill.
Available in Terrorist team only
The G22 is a good sidearm and is very cost-efficient because it has a high fire rate and can be spammed due to the high ammo capacity. The downside to using it is the low damage on body.
USP[]
Cost: $200
$200 per kill.
Available in Counter-Terrorist team only
This USP has very high accuracy on shots and has higher damage than the G22. It has less ammo than most other pistols in the game which makes it important to hit as many shots as possible. It also comes with an integrated, undetachable silencer which reduces the sound of the shot.
P350[]
Cost: $300
$200 per kill
Available on both teams
This sidearm is less cost-efficient than most other guns but is widely used because of its recoil pattern. The recoil of this gun is higher than the G22's or the USP's pattern. It also has higher damage on bodyhits than the G22 and USP which is why it is so popular.
F/S[]
Cost: $600
$200 per kill
Available in Counter-Terrorist team only
The F/S (or Five-Seven) is a very good sidearm to use with almost any other weapon. It has a easy to learn spray pattern and a high fire-rate, but does less damage than the P250. However, it does have a high armour penetration, making it a viable option on a force buy.
TEC-9[]
Cost: $600
$200 per kill
Available in Terrorist team only.
A high recoil, high rate of fire pistol with a high first shot accuracy, but is not accurate after the first shot. Can kill enemies with one headshot even with a helmet at close range, and has a high movement speed.
Desert Eagle[]
Cost: $700
$200 per kill.
Available on both teams.
The Desert Eagle (often shortened to Deagle) is a very powerful pistol. Even though it has moderate damage, the high recoil makes it hard to control. It can kill enemies with one shot to the head and 3 shots on medium to high distance.
Berettas[]
Cost: $400
200$ per kill.
Available on both teams.
The Berettas (or Dual Berettas) is a uniquely designed pistol that has a high ammo capacity, rapid fire rate, and good melee damage. This makes it an excellent choice for close-quarters combat. Berettas have high recoil and low accuracy.
Trivia[]
Teased image of dual berettas
Axlebolt teased the assimilation of dual berettas in pistols category for update 0.6.0 though the weapon was postponed because of "technical issues with gun animation" as the developers said. After 5 and a half years, it was finally released in pistols category for update 0.23.0, alongside with Molotov Cocktail and Thermite Grenade.
