Not enough room for all pistols, so I limited it to heavy. Just because. If I listed something with variants (Like the Ares Predator) all are implied within the listing...so if your fave is Ares Predator 3 then click Ares predator and clarify in your post.

Oh yeah...these are canon Shadowrun guns, not customised or anything off Raygun's site. Not near enough room in a poll for all his site's stuff.

Ares Viper Slivergun. Slim, sneaky, quiet and mean. It's change of pace from the other big, bellowing heavy pistols.

Colt Manhunter is my runner-up choice, mostly because "it's not an Ares Predator." ;)

I love the Infiltrator. It costs, but it goes through airport security in your carry-on.

I wouldn't worry about it. Who likes light pistols, anyways? Trolls, maybe - when their opponent has one.

I picked the Colt Manhunter, because it not only has good stats, but a good intangible factor - the tough pistol that's made to work under extreme conditions (and I like the fact that they have a pistol called the "Manhunter" designed by a female bounty hunter - although that's going back to the old Street Samurai Catalog flavor text). With the laser sight, it is equally as good for sammies and non-cybered types such as mages and adepts. I'll admit, the Morrissey Alta was a close second choice, and is the pistol I usually pick if I am playing an ex-corporate or high-rent runner.

What, no Narcoject? Granted, it isn't a heavy pistol, but it deals out keeling-over damage with the best.

I actually hoped I'd find the Remington Roomsweeper in here, but no show, so it's the flashy six-shooter instead :P

For a heavy assault pistol, nothing beats the Savalette Guardian. Burst-fire with Recoil comp already included and room for more, plus a smartlink? Sweeeeeeeeet :)

For stealth missions, however, I'd pick something from the Ares Predator series.

The Viper Slivergun is great so long as you aren't going up against fully armored opponents. Face shots with a Slivergun are deadly. 8)

I'm weird in this way: if the GM allows it, my characters usually opt to pack a 1911A1. Say what you will, it's a very very nice gun.

Otherwise, Predator. Sometimes, I'll go for Predator variants as the cyber becomes available, but for most ops where I want to lose a firearm, I just slap an external smartgun module to a cheap Predator and when the run's over, I rip it off and dump the gun.

the ares predator for me. no matter what sort'a character i feel like making, there's always a version that'll suit me. it's very customisable.

if i play a magician i just pick the normal predator and equip a laser sight. it's far easier than investing in goggles and all that.
if i play a non-magician on the other hand - i pick either the predator II or III.
the build-in SGL (standard or 2) is just too big a temptation... :D

I'm a Morrisey Elite man, myself. Concealability 7 rules! Sometimes I'll remove the integral laser sight and have a smartgun link 2 put in it's place, sometimes I'll leave the laser sight and add a SL2 anyway...in case I have vision mag too....and ya gotta customize the grip and chrome the heck out of it! You may think that having only 5 shots is a hinderance, but for a "take everywhere" pistol, keeping it in a concealble quick draw holster under your long coat...hard to spot that little guy. Heck...I even once smuggled it through a chem sniffer by having it in a vacuum sealed bag (Like the kind they put food in). Then went into the bathroom, unpackaged it and voiala...ready to rumble.

The Infiltrator is nice for sneaking past security, but I'm torn between the Colt Manhunter and Browning Ultra Power.

Browning Ultra Power.

Concealability is high, stopping power is up there, price is right, and if you need more than ten shots in any one encounter you have other problems.

Browning for me too, and for the most pathetic of reasons - not only did I like the look of it (harking back to the old 2nd ed source books - ah, god bless the illustrations) but... wait for it...

I LIKE 10!

Weird, huh? Base ten. Things should be grouped in sensible multiples. I live in a metric zone, so things (to my mind) should be grouped in tens. Like the two Brownings' ammo capacities.

Not to mention that Ammo prices are listed in ten shot multiples which makes the math easier.

Lazy, ain't I?

Caseless Ares Predator, tricked out with smartlink 2 (Yeah, didn't have a few books when I started the chr, ok?) and a silencer.

Why? I mean, I've got a whole bunch of "Bling Bang" like the ever-popular Viper Slivergun, but with a weapon's expert, you've simply got to be able to put a hole in something as fast and as accurately as possible.

The "cybereyes with the lot" option helps lots too :)

Oh - anyone played around with capsule loads? I know, I know, narco-jet, super-squirt, et all... but the Predator, it's almost a signature weapon for most people.

Note - customised grips, forgot I can do it now. Dammit.

Oh, loads? Hyper, DMSO and teargas. Costly but serious fun.

What do you know.... i picked the Ares Preddy......
why? Because it's fun for the whole family!

Sammy? Get a tricked out Pred III, caseless and silenced (as said earlier).
Mage? Just get a Pred I with Laser Sight and Silencer.
Decker? Use a Pred II, no alterings, she will help you good.
Pacifist? No problems, just go whatever other stereotype you have and use Stun Rounds (or maybe rounds with drugs that do stun damage to hades and back).
Kid? Borrow your dads, whatever kind she is she WILL get that nasty "Pennywise the clown" good between the eyes...

I chose the Elite, but my real first choice would have been a Roomsweeper with Bola ammo. It keeps just as low a profile as the Elite, yet packs a bigger knockdown than the Morissey could ever hope to have. For those times when screaming 'get the f**k out of my way!' just doesn't cut it :).
