Are side arms OP in PvP?

I'm a side arm main. I like to push and close the gap when I play pvp. Couple of my clan mates think that side arms by themselves are over powered. So I would like to read everyone else's thought on this subject out of curiosity. My favorite side arms (at this time) are: Rat king Travelers choosen Last dance Fools remedy Seventh Seraph *edit: due to the consistent disrespect toward my own play style with side arms. I am no longer with the previous clan. Still would like to know everyone's thought on side arms during this time though. Intresting thoughts and opinions.

    Sidearms are really easy to use and I feel that they are incredibly easy to use. The have a TTK that is simply too high while hitting body shots and have a ton of aim assist. They’re sort of the go to gun for someone who doesn’t actually have primary skill but needs to counter a decent shot gunner or titan. To the people who say that sidearms are the only real counter to shotguns, they aren’t. Hitting your shots counters a shotgun. I have no problem using a handcannon only against someone who apes me. Sidearms are just too forgiving for primaries but not good enough to be special, so they’re in a weird spot where they don’t take much skill to use but would be neutered if they were moved back to the special slot.
