Speaking of famous skins in Counter-Strike, many immediately think of Dragon Lore, Howl, Fade and other expensive, iconic finishes. But we cannot forget about pistols, indispensable companions of every player in the initial rounds, force-buys, and other situations. So what about the best skins for pistols in CS2? We present you with 30 of the best designs.

Five-SeveN | Case Hardened ($9 ~ $67)

The little brother of the AK-47 from the world of pistols may not be regularly sold for tens of thousands of dollars with rare stickers, but the more affordable it is for the common player. Don't forget that Five-Seven is one of the best pistols in the game at close and medium ranges, so why not get yourself a skin for this weapon?

Collections: The Arms Deal 2 Collection

Five-SeveN | Monkey Business ($1.60 ~ $26)

The design of this skin can be categorized as funny and somewhat contradictory to the "serious" Counter-Strike setting. Oh, and it might cost you a little bit more than a real banana.

Case: Chroma 2 Case

Collections: The Chroma 2 Collection

USP-S | Dark Water ($56 ~ $103)

The dark-silver, metallic USP-S | Dark Water camouflage beckons with its elegance. It can be considered a very underrated skin, which rarely appears in any picks, and we think more people should have it as part of their inventories.

Case: CS:GO Weapon Case

Collections: The Arms Deal Collection

USP-S | Whiteout ($17 ~ $165)

Monochrome skins in Counter-Strike receive special attention from collectors, especially with Factory New level wear and black or white designs. The reason for this is the fact that they look particularly good with stickers, which in themselves become the centrepiece of the weapon, attracting the eye. The USP-S | Whiteout is a prime example of this.

USP-S | Neo-Noir ($12 ~ $102)

USP-S | Neo-Noir will be a faithful companion in matchmaking. The design features a girl painted in neon colours lying down on the body of the gun. With StatTrak, this skin will look even better, fitting into the colour scheme.

Case: Spectrum Case

Collections: The Spectrum Collection

USP-S | Printstream ($27 ~ $315)

The USP-S | Printstream should appeal to techwear enthusiasts who are crazy about technologically advanced, modern prints. The light-coloured top of this pistol can be customized with just about any sticker you want.

Case: Recoil Case

Collections: The Recoil Collection

USP-S | Ticket to Hell ($0.23 ~ $10)

If the Printstream is out of your price range, Ticket to Hell in predominantly black is a good alternative for you. $10 for the slightest bit of wear and StatTrak - what's not a bargain?

Case: Dreams & Nightmares Case

Collections: The Dreams & Nightmares Collectio

USP-S | The Traitor ($8 ~ $163)

It is safe to say that most Counter-Strike players are not aware that the game has a skin with an embellished hanging scene. Being hung by his feet is a very unenviable fate for a traitor, hence the name of the skin.

Case: Snakebite Case

Collections: The Snakebite Collection

CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu ($6 ~ $28)

This skin on CZ75-Auto may attract the attention of fans of Chinese mythology. It is named after Xiang Liu, a nine-headed poisonous serpent that caused floods and destruction. Brutal, as befits any player ready to be a topfragger on the server.

Case: Spectrum Case

Collections: The Spectrum Collection

CZ75-Auto | Emerald ($23 ~ $26)

A rather unremarkable skin made in an emerald green colour. Fans of Imperial, Sprout or Entropiq can appreciate how well the stickers of these teams will look on the presented weapon.

Collections: The Chop Shop Collection

Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler ($32 ~ $47)

The Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler is available in five variants: Phase 1-4 and Emerald. They differ slightly in colouring and rarity, which may affect the price. Among pistols, this kind of skin is exceptional.

Case: -

Collections: The 2021 Train Collection

Glock-18 | Snack Attack ($2 ~ $70)

Glock-18 | Snack Attack will not be considered to be a formidable skin, because cute figures of hotdogs, burgers and fries in epoxy resin are unlikely to scare anyone, but will definitely impress with its cuteness.

Case: Operation Riptide Case

Collections: The Operation Riptide Collection

Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy ($143 ~ $225)

The shiny Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy with its grainy texture is concise in its design, but that's what makes it valuable to those who aren't fans of detailed artwork on pistols or automatic rifles.

Case: -

Collections: The Chop Shop Collection

Glock-18 | Royal Legion ($1.32 ~ $22)

The Glock-18 | Royal Legion is not only one of the budget skins in our selection but also quite colourful thanks to its orange grip and metal engraving.

Case: Operation Wildfire Case

Collections: The Wildfire Collection

Glock-18 | Fade ($1500+)

Fade colouring for weapons and knives is some of the most recognizable in the whole game. Many people will be scared off by the price though, not everyone is ready to spend more than a thousand dollars on a cosmetic item in a game.

Case: -

Collections: The Assault Collection

Tec-9 | Fuel Injector ($1.70 ~ $33)

At a glance, the Tec-9 | Fuel Injector resembles not so much a pistol but the working tool of a builder or a car mechanic. Well, it will definitely fit in with the Vertigo map theme.

Case: Gamma 2 Case

Collections: The Gamma 2 Collection

Tec-9 | Isaac ($2 ~ $24)

Tec-9 | Isaac should not leave fans of futuristic designs indifferent. It is impossible to ignore the combination of black and red, which symbolizes determination and exceptional power.

Case: Huntsman Weapon Case

Collections: The Huntsman Collection

Tec-9 | Remote Control ($1.30 ~ $274)

Did you order a spaceship remote control? That's exactly what the Tec-9 | Remote Control with all its indicators and switches on the housing evokes.

Case: Berlin 2019 Vertigo Souvenir Package

Collections: The Vertigo Collection

Dual Berettas | Duelist ($100 ~ $130+)

Dual Berettas | Duelist has a special feature in the form of a somewhat old-fashioned vintage-style handle. If in CS:GO its blue colour was dull and unsightly, Source 2 has breathed new life into this skin.

Case: -

Collections: The Chop Shop Collection

Dual Berettas | Dezastre ($1.45 ~ $11)

Fans of understated but stylish colouration should appreciate the Dual Berettas | Dezastre. The shapes presented are reminiscent of a race car, reflecting the temperament and drive of all those who play Berettas.

P250 | Asiimov ($1.32 ~ $53)

Asiimov skins will forever be associated with the Counter-Strike era of 2015-2017 when the AWP | Asiimov was almost the most popular and recognizable skin in the entire game. The P250 | Asiimov may well evoke a sense of nostalgia for you as well.

Case: Chroma 3 Case

Collections: The Chroma 3 Collection

P250 | Apep's Curse ($27 ~ $241)

One of the most recent skins in the game, P250 | Apep's Curse, simply couldn't be left out of our sight when making this list. With its golden glow and ancient Egyptian theme, it looks like an artefact from a pharaoh's tomb.

P250 | See Ya Later ($2.40 ~ $39)

Case: Spectrum 2 Case

Collections: The Spectrum 2 Collection

P250 | Whiteout ($19 ~ $122)

The second Whiteout pistol in our selection costs a bit less. Unlike the USP-S, the P250 is visually smaller, which affects the price.

Case: -

Collections: The Chop Shop Collection

P2000 | Ocean Foam ($125 ~ $342)

The P200 isn’t a meta gun, but there are a few good skins on it. One of them is Ocean Foam. As the name says, the upper part is a foam thrown on the shore of an ocean. If you are thinking of collecting marine-themed equipment, then pay attention to this design.

Case: Operation Bravo Case

Collections: The Bravo Collection

Desert Eagle | Printstream ($27 ~ $180)

One of the most popular Deagle skins, we couldn’t not put it in our top 30. One thing to consider, however, is that players are waiting for the developers to return the Desert Eagle | Printstream to the pink hue, which was very noticeable in CS:GO.

Case: Fracture Case

Collections: The Fracture Collection

Desert Eagle | Kumicho Dragon ($11 ~ $72)

Not just because of its name, but the appearance of the Desert Eagle | Kumicho Dragon reminds us of Yakuza movies. Dragons are often depicted on the shoulders and backs of members of this criminal syndicate originating from Japan, and this time one of these dragons was also on the barrel of the Desert Eagle.

Case: Operation Wildfire Case

Collections: The Wildfire Collection

Desert Eagle | Blaze ($590+)

One of the very first skins in all of Counter-Strike with a simple idea from its author to add flames to the muzzle of this gun. It's hard to disagree with the fact that it perfectly reflects all those moments when you put several headshots in a row and are on top of your game.

Case: -

Collections: The Dust Collection

R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 ($0.38 ~ $5.75)

The trolls' favourite gun is unlikely to be upgraded by developers anytime soon for fear of breaking the game’s meta once again. But considering the low price of the R8 Revolver | Crazy 8, why not get the most stylish skin on the most cowboy gun?

Case: Recoil Case
