110, 140, and 150 RPM hand cannon are completely outclassed by 180s due to bloom. We've been asking for an adjustment for months now and while I get that it takes a while to get it done, an acknowledgement that it's being looked at would ease a lot of worries

I picked up a 110 the other day and was putting in work. Used a 150 to get Thorn. I don't think they're nearly as bad as people say. Granted I also never stopped using them through Y1. You just have to use them differently than the 180s. Honestly I think jötunn and pulse rifles HCR stagger are bigger problems.
PS4 player here - are you talking PVP only? Because some of the most useful and deadly handcannons in the game are not 180s. Duke, Kindled, Devils, Nation, Coup, hell I even still rock Judgement sometimes just because I like the gun (and TBH, I know nobody else is lol). I even really like Warden's Law, even post-nerf. And those are just the Legendaries, I mean you want to bring Ace and Thorn into this then come on.
The secret to using a handcannon is in the rhythm of it, not in the reticle. You're dancing with the gun, not pointing and clicking. I just feel like knowing when to shoot is as important as where you're shooting...I'm good with it.
For PVP mainly. No high level console player would use a non-180 in high rank play and that's the problem
Also, note that u/Cozmo23 said he'd have more info about the state of handcannons 3 weeks ago after talking with the sandbox team. We got nothing.
