Hey guys,
Wifey bought me the Ultimate HD Edition of Resident Evil 4 earlier today, and I'm keen to get stuck in as soon as possible. It's been a while since I last booted up my old copy of RE4, so I'm a little foggy as to which would be the best handgun to focus my attention on. I know you don't get to unlock either the Blacktail or Red9 from the Merchant's shop until Chapter 2 (or is it Chapter 3...?), but I'll be holding onto as much gold as possible and ditching the default handgun at the first opportunity.
I remember the Punisher being useless, aside from serving as a free magazine upon collecting all the Blue Medals, so not too worried about that option.
From what I remember, the Blacktail was better from a speed standpoint, with faster reloads and firing rates, but the Red9 had huge stopping power on its stand. I'm thinking that, combined with a standard shotgun as a reserve, the Blacktail would be the better choice during the early game. Which one did you favour and why?
