As we all know, pistols are the best part about a shooting game.  I mean, it's usually the first firearm you get in a game, and most of them are viable all the way to the end of your gameplay time.  So the question here is, what is the most famous pistol ever?  Let's find a DEFINITIVE pistol.
I think the following three are top contenders:

Desert Eagle .50
Halo 1 pistol
Plasma Cutter from Dead Space

I know that Dead Space is pretty recent, but man...it's a unique one!

Yeah but the golden gun is actually Goldfinger's, not James Bond's. It also only appears once in the movies, whereas the PP7 is in every 007 movie and game.

Wrong. The Golden Gun is used by Francisco Scaramanga.

Oh the Halo 1 pistol....like three shots to kill someone, and a scope? You had to be good with it though.....

Then you had the plasma pistol, battle rifle combo in Halo 2.....

Indeed, but those are two that can't be separated, therefore the question would have to be revised to pistol(s). :P

Hard to say, the Desert Eagle gets a lot of showtime because it's big and flashy. Bond's PP7 is pretty obvious... there's always Dirty Harry's .44 Magnum revolver.

I was mostly thinking in video game terms, as this is in the General Discussion forum and not Off-Topic...but I do think that if we were going overall most famous...Dirty Harry's magnum beats everything.

Maybe, it does tend to show up in WWII games, any games including special forces of some sort, and MGS... it's like the pistol that won't die.

Dirty Harry's .44 magnum is not a pistol, it is a revolver.

The Desert Eagle, GLOCK 17 and various 1911 clones are the most common.

The 1911 is the best of those pistols, because it has killed more Nazis than the other two combined. End of story.

The Beretta 92FS, aka M9 service pistol, is a popular one. The Luger is another famous one.

A pistol is another name for a handgun. Revolvers are pistols.

I dislike beretta's, last time i shot one it just didnt feel right. Like the trigger had too long of a draw or something.

A pistol is a form of a handgun, a revolver is another form of a handgun. Same goes for flintlock exc.

pistols operate in an entirely different fashion compared to revolvers.

Only if you don't know what you're talking about.

A revolver is a kind of handgun, a pistol is a kind of handgun. A revolver is not a pistol, and a pistol is not a revolver. More specifically, things like 1911's are Automatic Pistols.

People unfamiliar with the subject material might not be able to distinguish it, but that's no reason to encourage ignorance. Don't be hatin' on me for correcting people. Someone has to do it.
