Not to cloud the issue, but there is no pistol available on T & R, lol.
Both have their advantages over the other. The pistol overall is a great weapon to have around at all times. If I could I would play the entire game with the Magnum and a PP, you can kill everything in the game with both and there is more ammo than you can shake a stick at.
If I am trying no die runs then the SR has its advantages for having such a long reach, but you cant take out a banshee with a SR, whereas both the Magnum and the PP can. For normal legendary play, the SR is something I bypass all the time, if for no other reason than the ammo re-supply is typically so far apart (other than on T & R and AotCR, where there is a buttload of it throughout the levels).
What is fun about the SR is when you can keep another sniper alive with you and can both take out enemies, the dialogue from the other sniper is priceless when you make or miss shots. Plus the sound of that second SR going off around you is just plain awesome. The marine snipers on CE are much better than the H2 ones, giving an SR to an H2 marine is just a way to have more ammo to pick up after he dies (although the female snipers are a real pleasure on H2, their dialogue is almost better than the CE Johnson or Stacker stuff!)
