Yup I've been running the grenade pistol since that one dropped, its such a great side arm.
I saw someone with a laser pistol as a side arm the other day (I think?) which seems kind of cool, I run the Scythe cause I hate managing my ammo, but if I had an unlimited side arm I think it might open up new options.
The dagger's (laser pistol) alright, it's not very high damage but it can set stuff on fire I think.
If you want unlimited sidearm, the talon's amazing for that, in the borderline justice warbond. You can almost use it as a primary weapon.
For higher difficulties, I usually roll with ultimatum. It's nice having a pocket orbital strike for when big stuff gets in your way.
