It's really bad.
It really is, it falls into the same trap that the Assault Rifle falls into.
Lowest range, and yet lowest DPS.
It's closest counterpart, the scrambler pistol, has 18m effective range over it.
Just for this fact it should have at LEAST matching DPS.
Arguments for it:
Arg: It has charge!
Counter Arg: It instantly locks you up for a full 3.5 seconds, which is deadly for a CQC pistol. A charge shot also doesn't do enough damage to even take down an unfitted medium frame, so you will leave the enemy alive for the most part.
Charging mid battle is a bad idea, and you can just do double the DPS with any other rifle in that time.
Arg: It has the largest clip!
Counter Arg: The scrambler pistol operation skill brings it to just one shot below the Ion Pistol. Not only that, but the Ion Pistol's damage per clip is pathetically low, coming in at 600. That's not enough to bring down most things now days.
Scrambler pistol has 880 damage per clip, and a MASSIVE 375% headshot bonus, so scoring even a single hit already brings up that damage per clip to ridiculous amounts.
Arg: It has the fastest fire rate!
Counter Arg: Doesn't matter when your damage is ****, so you can't actually kill anything with all those bullets flying around.
This is the plasma cannon in sidearm form, it really is.
Nothing redeems this weapon, it has no use other than humilation of opponents that they got killed by an inferior piece of gear.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Yes, exactly like the plasma cannon. 
For meows sake you can see in the stats it's a completely broken weapon, everyone looked into the tiniest possible niches it could have, but found none.
It's a broken gun, everything other than the flaylock beat it by far.

We already know, nothing to discover, other than if it can hold a charge.
Which either way doesn't matter, the most it can do is make it even worse than we thought it is.

Don't waste perfectly good complaints on shredded glass in your oatmeal until you've tried it first. So I guess it's safe to say the magsec won't be OP whatsoever
Uhh Black, I'm pretty sure he's arguing FOR the Ion Pistol, not against.

Don't waste perfectly good complaints on shredded glass in your oatmeal until you've tried it first. Data on damage done to shields, damage done to armor, damage done total, kills with weapon, assists with weapon, kills at optimal range or less, kills at optimal range or more, damage at optimal range or less, damage at optimal range or more, time spent reloading per kill, number of kills with charge shots, number of headshots, number of headshot kills... You know, actually data... Is infinity more valuable that a few dozen twats in General Disucssion shitting themselves because DAMG X IS HIHER DAN DAMG Y! IZ BROK! FIX ET!
These twats predicted every single thing that was OP, to be OP the moment they saw the stats.
It's not hard if you have a single brain cell.
Especially with a lot of people looking at it, they can spot problems together very quickly.
