I personally wouldn't get a WE pistol. As much as their GBB rifles have proven to be a really good value for the money, the same can't be said for their pistols. They tend to be very cheaply made, have poor tolerances, are made of very cheap, weak and heavy pot metal, etc. If you're looking for a good entry-level pistol, then look at KJW.
As for "not needing" a pistol, that's a good point. No one really needs one. The only time you would switch to a pistol is when going into very tightly confined areas where mobility with a rifle isn't possible, when you run out of ammo and can't readily reload, or when your primary breaks down. I've been in all 3 situations, and every time, my pistol has gotten me out of a tight situation where I would have been shot otherwise. But, considering all the games I've played in the last 5 years and how many times I've HAD to draw my pistol, I could get away without having one at all.
