If you have somehow managed to get level 5 pistol mastery, then this gun is basically a Ronson 45 with a bigger clip. There are differences, but none make up for what you lose. Stick with the 45 and find a nice assault rifle for hordes.

For those who haven't given themselves RSI, this is like a mini Ronson LBM. It has lower damage, but higher RPS, balancing out to a slightly higher DPS (2000 vs 1800) but a miniscule clip size (<4 seconds of full fire before reloading) is a major downside. This is certainly a strong weapon at low levels, but somewhere around the 20's you should start to see the effectiveness drop off, and in the end it just doesn't do enough damage to remain viable. If you get a 10*** with deadly, overclocked and race modded (even capacity and level 2 mastery means you still burn through the clip in 6 seconds - work with the short reload time instead) then it should last you a while, but the RED version isn't much of an upgrade and eventually you will find a better weapon.

Overall a strong gun that is let down big time by the clip - spending almost as much time reloading as firing turns a great gun into a better than average one.
