To counter this, there was talk about reducing the damage multiplier for legs from 1.8 to 1.5. This will mean that it will take 3 leg shots to kill with a Peacemaker, instead of the current 2. It doesn't effect the effectiveness of the other pistols.
Finally!

So if we lower the peacemaker's damage we'd have to do the same for the other two pistols.
My opinion about this:
Yes reduce peacemaker damage to 31
Yes this will be close to the scoffield, but:
Peacemaker still has its advantages: reload one bullet + lower spread
And I would like to add a second advantage to the peacemaker: Lowering the spread on the alternate fire(1.5 instead of 3), this will make a single colt much more powerfull then a single scoffield.
And this will make the alternate fire for pistol not totally useless, and actually, the alternate fire for pistols is pretty cool. So a win-win situation imo
