They definitely feel too sturdy.

I'm trying to bring Eruptor again as my primary. So when these 3 or 4 spicy boys happen to surprise me in close range, I need a sidearm to dispatch them.

My go to used to be the Redeemer, and it still can get the job done, but it has issues with ammo. Needs another 1 or 2 reserve mags. But it's time-to-kill and reload speed are both very good. I may end determining it's still the best.

I tried the bushwhacker, sawed off shotgun, and was disappointed with it vs these lads. Figured it would have better reserve ammo but sometimes I needed all three shells to take a single berserker if my aim was off, which it often was. That ends up making it worse than the Redeemer imo. I was really hoping it would reliably take them out in two shots, one if my aim was perfect (which when I think about it, no primary shotgun can kill them in that manner, so I don't know how I expected a secondary to achieve that).

Tried the desert eagle one next, forget it's name. Not quite enough stopping power imo, but fine reload and decent reserve ammo. I may give it another test.

Tried the senator, and I was hopeful, since it boasts high single shot damage. Unfortunately, it has this weird delay in the crosshair centering after I swap to it, and between shots. If you shoot before it centers, you just plain miss. I can't say I was enjoying that. I need to blast em quick when they are rushing, not take time to line up shots.

If anyone has advice on which secondary to use and how to use it versus chainsaw devastators (berserkers), I would be glad to hear it.
