Hand cannons have been a powerhouse for far to long now.
Long range and only needing 3 shots to kill and 2 with certain perks.
A 50% nerf is something that it so sorely needs, it would make it more balanced and open up for more options.
Come come and defend your beloved.

Without being funny, a nerf to hand cannons would technically make them the worst archetype in the game. Autos, pulses, even side arms can kill quicker. Only benefit to HC is the peak shoot advantage. On console/ controller peak shooting is not great though.
