Again, the best handgun will be different for each person.

With this in mind, let’s look at thebest Pistols in Modern Warfare 3.

mw3 - The Renneti pistol is in the top left corner, the COR-45 Pistol is in the top left corner and The Basilisk pistol is beneath the two on an all black background.

It may be small, but it sure is mighty!

After all, this stat can easily be changed by adding some modifications in the Gunsmith.

Especially with the TTK only being 1.45s!
