You basically have just Halo and Goldeneye 007. Other than that pistols have been relegated to the peashooter category.
Western-themed FPS like, Darkwatch, are the exception.
That's 3 great pistols from previous generations. The best one I can think of this gen is the Bioshock 1 pistol, and that's only because of how all the weapons feel so similar (ie. it's not as bad as pistols normally are, because Bioshock doesn't make its shotgun feel any good).
Goldeneye Wii had reverance for dat silenced pistol, that's why I like it so much.
The pistols in Halo and Goldeneye are epic, but let's not forget about this:
I was always fond of Goldeneye's AK-47 just because of the sound it made. I also like the Walther PPK for sneaking up on foes and shooting them in the ass. Now, im sad that to this day, no one really creates signs of damage like bullet holes like Rate's masterpiece.

Awesome weapon, cerebral bore. Wasn't there also a weapon like that thing from Krull? Like a spinning blade you threw out?
Indeed...it chopped all in half!
Most shooters are a bit bland in the weapon selection, or just the feel of the weapons in general. Its amazing how few got it right.
I loved Perfect Darks weapons, the laptop gun was genius, lob it down and it became a turret. There was that machine gun that targeted people like Robocop too.
I liked the Charged Dart Rifle from Turok 2: Seeds of Evil it was super cheap in multiplayer.
Razor Wind was also awesome.

Great as a sniper rifle, great as a machine gun. Completely overpowered, but so fun to use.

You can collect your arrows, and have to pump it in between uses. Best water pistol ever.

Serious Sam 3 had very respectable weapons all round. True to it's heritage teh rocket launcher was probably best, but the shot gun was also very satisfying.
The Quake lightning gun. I sucked at Quake, but played a lot of Capture the Flag with it since my roommate was super into it. The one guaranteed way I had to kill people is if I used the lightning gun underwater because it would fry everyone, myself included. But 3 kills to one death is a good ratio.

You could guide that missile through corridors can kill enemies anywhere on the stage.

Ah me, I can't decide, Turok, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Halo all come to mind, Doom too. What to choose....
On reflection I would have to choose the Goldeneye Walther PPK with silencer. What a weapon. When I completed the game it then became a matter of pride to complete every level using nothing but that and go undetected. It was perfect for headshots, one shot kills and had a satisfying fwip sound to it.
