On a simple look, the Bolt Pistol is insanely OP 
I have ran it since release, was happier with the first setup 5 in clip w/less DMG..
The 'Buff' added overkill but given the fact you lost a bullet in clip, kills take longer if you miss
So far balancing, reverting back to the old BP would be great.
However.. To claim the BP is in a worse state than any other sidearm is biased and false.
- Bolt Pistol - Aplha DMG too high, simply adding the old stats provides a clean fix.
- ScR Pistol - Depends on variants, the regular is needle accurate, the Breach is an Amarr BP.
- Ion Pistol - I would claim this as the OP sidearm - Charge shots almost hitting 1k DMG.
- Flaylock - 4 in a clip more than a rocket pistol, thats job is usually complete in 1/2 shots needs
- SMG - The mini Combat Rifle still shreds in CQC
- Magsec - Can be decent, but clearly the 'worst' sidearm
- Nove Knives - WTF!! is this aim adhesion!! please pick range / aim adhesion.. not both
People are going to read through and be like 'Dafuq!, he just claimed the Ion Pistol is OP!'
I'll back it with some explanation... I have used the Bolt Pistol since release, formerly it was the BrScRP as the rewards for accuracy on these weapons is OP, so I like them  After countless squads ranting and hatemail over my scrubby use of a BP
I got bored...Used the spare SP to get Ion Pistol 5 with some core skills for it, and daaayyyyyyyuumm
The Ion Pistol is a pocket shotgun!! in 10-20m I crap my pants facing one. Using it, I never had so many OHK's outside of using a Plasma Cannon. As usual what confuses Dust mercs is it has a role, CQC, not fighting a range instead of realizing this, many will ask for a buff, so it can do both..
Ion is a really good sidearm, a buff could lead to it being the new SMG (used on most fits)
- Any buff/nerfs wont really affect me with my ignorance L5 along with all sidearms L5
- FOR ONCE!! while balancing, can we look at all the issues rather than lining 1 weapon up for QQ
As many players are demonstrating, wait, bait n' charge shot in da face = 50wp
But of course, a weapon that takes 'skill' and it 'overheats' has enough drawback that it needs an OP feature
It's not like this has not ened up very, very messy before... *glances at ScR*
- My long barbaric rants can be summed up pretty quickly.
TL;DR - All sidearms benefit too much from AA, along with a stupid headshot multiplier
- Adding these together is just asking for tears, luckily CCP usually go out collecting with buckets
