Think a lot of us forget that it’s not only males that are on the forum.
Pretty sure some airsofters are only vaguely aware that girls exist.

I think a lot of this argument hinges on use case.
For a lot of airsofters, a handgun is the thing you have strapped onto you in-game so you look tacticool that maybe gets a few prospecting shots fired when you've run out of ammo and can't be bothered trudging back to the safe zone to reload.
Maybe you channel your inner gaz and try quick-drawing instead of reloading a couple of times before learning that airsoft aint call of duty.
For that task you don't need peak reliability, and as much as I'm a big accuracy freak it's not exactly hard for most pistols accuracy to outmatch their wielders skill, at least for the 3 shots a day average demanded of them.

100% this.
Needs actual use in a game - I use my MK23; thing is a primary in its own right and shoots as good as any of my AEG and probs out performs my DMR. Low-tacticool and less fun shooting, plasticky but damn it shoots good, heavily upgraded for performance. 100% my go-to for woodland games or if im sniping for the silence.
Anything else: I am going for looks or features like Full auto or burst or something snazzy just to have fun with. Dual wield Deagles, M93Rs, Dual g18s with extended mags and full auto etc. Typically if im going to a CQB site itll be something like this. The flashier the better but i tend to avoid upgrades and run stock.

Same here. I carry a WE P99 with 3 spare mags but even in CQB I rarely go through a whole magazine all day.
This. I've always said the biggest factor when it comes to shooting accurately is the flesh coloured squishy bit. Mind you I also think that far too many people believe their guns are more accurate than they actually are

How do you find using the P99 in game? I had one and sold it before getting a chance to use it other than plinking and would quite like another.

It's a little underpowered and range isn't great but I've found it reliable and haven't had any problems as I only really use pistols at short range anyway. Are there better pistols out there? Certainly but it suits my needs
