I like that in your game world some people occasionally go unarmed and day to day carry is a light pistol and not an automatic rifle.

Although you did kinda skip the "Frag off!" classic of the Ruger Superwarhawk... then again with reload sliders Semi-Autos got a big boost, especially for dual wielders. Reloading two Cylinder mag weapons is just... ugly.

The nice thing about the Ruger is: Once your cylinder is empty your enemy either stops being a threat or you should have switched to a different weapon about three rounds ago...

I remember a game I went into with the idea that a light pistol was a good sidearm for day-to-day carry.  It was the third time he was attacked while 'unprepared' and his bullets creased a skull with orthoskin, dermal armor and/or bone lacing (a tough dwarf and a trio of ninja cyber-strippers) with no appreciable damage when he upgraded to a Super Warhawk... 

He upgraded to a cut-down AK-97 with a folding stock and some other mods tucked into his vehicle in nice areas, or under his coat in bad ones.  That was after some goons came after him while he was on a date.  Lobo really didn't like it when enemies in armor kept deciding he looked like the one to go after. 
Would you want to go into a place where the resident had a drum-fed shotgun and can see in the dark?

Great video. 

I can't really disagree with any of your selections or reasons.  Every weapon you picked is definitely top tier, but I can't help pulling for the home team, my good old Ruger Warhawk.  It must have been the 5th place finisher...

It's has firepower and being a revolver, but when you are a fresh off the press Runner, a Pred and Savette is your go to as a starter heavy pistol as Warhawks has that t "Special Snowflake from Awaken slayer Trids" which drives certain runners up the walls.

...a Ruger with EXEX starts at 11 DV -3 AP. 

Just don't critical glitch a shot and you're fine.

a critical Glitch with ANY Weapon is a bad idea ;)

LMG on a reinforced retractable mount with a backup grenade launcher. Internal flamethrower and lasers for anti-spirit work. Plus a Warhawk. Just because.

What? You don't run around in a combat modded anthroform drone body?

It may just be me, but I would t give the security 600 light pistol conceal stats. It's picture shows an extended mag and it has the added bulk of a folding stock. Sounds more like a machine pistol or smg to me.

I'd use a holdout for a walking around gun (ever hear the term "Saturday night special"?) and a light pistol for covert work. A light fire 75 can be easily concealed and is the most silent gun you can hide with its special silencer and a few toys from hard targets(electronic firing and subsonic bullets just to get started). If you pop that bum in the bathroom, good chance no one hears it go down with the light fire. Enjoy that -8 to perception.
