The only real use for a sidearm is to slap a rail light on them and wear a rail light pistol on belt.
It's like flashlight but better because rail light is brighter for some reason.
Also it lets you use REAL rail attachments on your main gun instead of having to use a rail light just to see beyond 5 tiles.
What is the point of adding m88 when it's not easly available to PFC's?
It depends on your primary weapon and personal preference.
SMG, Flamer, Buckshot shotgun and (maybe) Pulse Rifle works perfectly with Revolver, thanks to fairly good AP and dmg. Slug shotgun should always take Pistol thanks to good rate of fire that they lack.
This way a sidearm fills gap that certain weapon has.
Revolver with scope can act as cheap binoculars and nice ranged repellant, since beno that is being hit from offscreen runs in panic, atleast for few seconds.
Pistol with rate of fire attachements and AP/extended mag can shoot faster than Pulse Rifle and kill T1/T2's easly.
I take an m41 and a shotgun as my sidearm unless I cant have it for some reason (medic/engineer) then I just roll with only a shotgun. Pistols are gay.
1) Shotgun
2) Mod88
3) AP Pistol
88 Mod 4 (that's the actual name) because it can drop a UPP soldier with a single burst. For comparison, I've been hit with a full burst from an SMG post-damage buffs (before it was nerfed) and was almost put into paincrit. So yeah, the 88 Mod 4 has better stopping power than some larger guns and is one of the best guns for HvH, but it still does respectably in HvX.

They are all terrible.
Only the Staff Officer M4A3 with a QFA attachment and AP ammo even approaches 'might be okay' in contrived and rare situations.
DPS is too low, ammo too limited, accuracy too poor. They are not viable in any gameplay niche beyond being better than a knife (barely). You can't even fit them anywhere reasonable without a bunch of hard-to-get pouches, most of which heavily penalize you by limiting precious storage space.
Current pistols would be fine if every marine could put a pistol in his uniform the way he can put a knife in his boot, but with the way the current restrictions are, they need either a buff or a mechanics change so they have something over other weapons (e.g. I suggested once, letting a marine pull out and fire a pistol while prone).

I knocked 75% off a queen with that pistol as CE

M37 with buckshot
Everything else is rubbish
.45 is incredibly strong
