Okay, bear in mind, I'm nowhere near my Wii, and won't be for another week and a half, so this is comparing an empty Hand Cannon to how I remember the Perfect Shot last time I used it.
For one, the Hand Cannon is HUGE. From the tip of the gun barrel to the end of the handle is about 11 inches, and it's a pretty think sunuvabitch too. I actually really like that; it's really solid and sturdy and feels a lot more substantial than the Perfect Shot. Plus, it seems to be more solidly put together than the Perfect Shot, which feels really flimsy in places (like the trigger and the endtip meant to hold the top of the Wiimote in place). The handle, too, is far nicer. It's hard rubber, but it has a bit of a foam-like feel to it, so it feels soft and cushy while being thick and able to take a beating.
The only thing I don't like about it is the nunchuck support. It doesn't have wiring in the handle like the Perfect Shot does so you can plug the nunchuck into the base; instead, you have to feed the nunchuck wire through the back of the barrel (there's a trap door where the hammer is). There's a groove in the back of the handle where you can place the wire, which seems convenient and ultimately a better solution than the Perfect Shot's (one of my Perfect Shots no longer registers the bottom plug-in), but I much prefer how the Perfect Shot handles things.
Still, i'm so glad I imported these. The Hand Cannons, from initial impressions, get my vote hands-down.
