Well then I am glad I didn’t disappoint you 
True. Of course it depends what that Purple pistol is and how easy / difficult it is to acquire and what comparable Legendary, Seraph, Pearlescent or even Unique alternates are available and how easy / difficult they are to acquire. I like the Vladof Anarchist Pistols, but have yet to find one with a good prefix, element and parts. I also like some elemental Purple rarity Dahl pistols, but have yet to find a good one of those. The character and build and sometimes even supporting equipment also need to be taken into account. For example, for most characters and builds the Hornet (Corrosive) Pistol is the best Corrosive element pistol to use. However for a pistol build Zer0, an Infinity (Corrosive) is actually a better option especially with a Sniper COM that results in 11/5 or 10/5 One Shot One Kill. I’m not really a fan of the Infinity pistol, but with that setup it makes sense.
