Pistols

Pistols determine the first two rounds of every half and play a critical role in eco rounds throughout the game. Mastering pistol mechanics — particularly the Desert Eagle's one-shot headshot and the starting pistol dynamics — can swing entire matches. A strong pistol round win gives your team a 3-round economic advantage.

Purchase Notes

The Glock-18 (T-side starting pistol) has a 20-round magazine and burst-fire mode but struggles against armor. The USP-S (CT-side default) has better first-shot accuracy and silenced shots but only 12 rounds. For eco rounds, the P250 ($300) offers one-shot headshot capability at close range against helmets. The Desert Eagle ($700) is the premier eco weapon — its one-shot headshot at any range makes it a round-winner. The CZ75-Auto ($500) provides automatic fire in a pistol slot.

Common Questions

Which starting pistol is better — Glock or USP-S?

The USP-S has better first-shot accuracy and deals more damage per bullet, making it superior in 1v1 pistol duels. The Glock-18 has 20 rounds and burst-fire, making it better for rushing and close-range spam. Most pros slightly favor USP-S/P2000 for CT-side.

Is the Desert Eagle worth $700 on eco rounds?

Absolutely — the Deagle is one of the most impactful eco purchases. Its one-shot headshot at any range means you can eliminate a fully-equipped rifler with a single click. The risk is that it requires precise aim and only holds 7 rounds.

P250 vs CZ75-Auto — which is better for eco?

The P250 ($300) offers controlled tapping with one-shot headshot potential at close range. The CZ75-Auto ($500) is automatic but has 12 rounds total and a long draw time. P250 is safer and cheaper; CZ75 is higher risk/reward for close ambushes.

Should I buy a pistol on pistol round?

It depends. CT-side, many players keep the USP-S and buy Kevlar ($650) instead. T-side, buying a P250 or Tec-9 can help against armored CTs. The most common pistol-round buy is Kevlar + no pistol upgrade for CTs, or Kevlar + Tec-9/P250 for Ts.
