#10 USP-S Lead Conduit (FT $.72, Stat $2.73), Glock-18 Bunsen Burner (FT $.17, Stat $.78), P2000 Oceanic (MW $.14, Stat $.53) We start out the list here with these three and for good reason. The Bunsen Burner and Oceanic are absolutely iconic for being arguably the most opened pistols when doing a case opening. The Glock being from the Falcion case and the Bunsen Burner being from the Chroma 3 case, each of them have been around a long, LONG Time! And though age has done not too badly for them, we'll hold off on them for now.

The USP-S Lead Conduit is a rather unique skin actually. Taking the Ironwork from the Glock and ramping it up quite a bit, the engraving is a very nice touch in my eyes. And apparently I'm not the only one. With quite a few buying this skin each and every day, there's a reason for it. Though the beige_ish handle can be a bit dull, the steel looking barrel and intricate styling's of the engraving is a sight for sore eyes. Not many having this, its looks lead to a small demand. Being that you're going to have plenty of money for even a MW condition, FT is the way to go if you want to save up for some other skins in your inventory. But if you're looking to go for a little extra flair and want some stickers already ready to go, this skin's got your back too! Taking your pick from Bntet, Edward, even a Snax Foil from 2017 Krakow, there's options that await you too for not even 50 more cents!

The Glock Bunsen Burner has been a staple in CS:GO. A staple that many gamers when they unlock from a case they spent $2.50 on want to yell; "TRASH!" ...Uhhh, then I get why you're asking "Why is it here then?" Well, considering it's one of the few insanely cheap Glocks that actually looks different, the blue skin with a modest flame do in fact pull it off decently in game. After all, to a lot of players beginning this game, that's their go-to skin for the Glock-18. And really, it's kind of easy to see why. It's incredibly cheap, it's easy on the eyes, and it's not overly complicated. Combine that with a near endless sticker montage on the market for just pennies over and you have a decent score! With Olof, Aizy, Taco, and a lot more ready to be bought at a moment's notice, you could really find a heck of a steal on the market! Heck, go MW StatTraked if you really want your bang for your buck! Though a word of caution... Not a lot of CS:GO players will be overly impressed with a Bunsen Burner when you show it to them, so be careful going all out getting a nice craft. Best to save some of your cash for getting skins for your USP/P2K, AK, AWP, and M4.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/Glock-18%20%7C%20Bunsen%20Burner%20%28Field-Tested%29

The P2000 Oceanic is one of the most basic skins in the game. Black and Blue with a semi-wave pattern, what's not to like about it? And being it's literally a dime to buy, the value you get out of a FT regular P2000 Oceanic (Especially in a great float) is immense! And if you want it StatTraked, it's less than a Quarter! If you want it in better condition than MW, No problem! Just over Sixty cents for one of them! And considering there's sticker heaven no matter where you're looking, this skin is a clear winner. I mean... IT'S PENNIES! When's the last time you're spending a dime on ANYTHING Now in days!? If you want to spice it up even further, regular FT has plenty of stickers and even foils for incredibly cheap! And being good crafts awaiting (So long as you check in game to see if they aren't scratched), you could wind up with a true winner!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/P2000%20%7C%20Oceanic%20%28Minimal%20Wear%29


Overall, are you going to impress your friends with these three in your inventory? More than likely not. Are you going to be happy with them however, Absolutely! After all, being that some of them are pennies, would you rather have a bone stock version, or spend just over a dollar USD for three starter pistols you use each and every round? I'll leave that up to you!

#9 USP-S Flashback (FT $.83, Stat $3.00), Glock-18 Ironwork (FT $.13, Stat $.51) P2000 Imperial (MW $.32, Stat $1.19)




A deep green USP, a darkened Glock with some shades of engraving, and a red/yellow P2K? Not exactly a theme going on here is there? Well, say what you like, at least two of the three of really a popular choice.










And starting with the USP-S Flashback FT, the "Vietnam Flashbacks" will be coming forth each and every round you use this beastly skin on CT. With some paint of slogans like "Born to Clutch" on the middle of the skin, "Shhh" on the barrel, and a Peace insignia painted on the grip of this skin, it really does provide a heck of a lot for just $.81 USD in FT. With tons of stickers ranging from Shattered Webs, to the pros you love like Neo, Tarik, and so many more, you'll be shelling out a few dimes more though if they stand out as great crafts, it'll be well worth it. That said though, make sure to check in game before buying it to see if they are in a great placement or if they're even there! Some really like scraping stickers on their skins after all... But if you're looking for StatTrak, it's affordable too! After all, being just a shade under $2, Buy orders are awesome for it too as they're just $2.60's! Heck, there's even Shox, Coldzera, even Neo on some of the crafts you can score! Affordable, Lots of sticker potential, and a skin that shows a LOT for the money, it only makes sense this Flashback can be a great buy if you're looking for an option at a starter pistol inventory!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Flashback%20%28Field-Tested%29

The Glock Ironwork is one of the most iconic skins in the game of CS:GO. Mainly because there's thousands of them out there and so many have at least one in their inventory! That said, look at the styling of this skin. Black on the grip and lower barrel, and yet the leaf-like iron engraving make this a simple, though great piece to play in game. And trust me, though you're not impressing a ton of players out there with this unless you have an insane craft, the fact you can score this starting T-Sided pistol for literally less than a dollar in StatTrak condition, Blows my mind! Not just that, the insane crafts you can score for dimes more are just nuts! As long as they are in great condition and in epic placements, you can score some Single, Double, even Quad crafts! Some containing Xizt, Xyp9X, Nitr0, F0rest, there was even a S1mple out there for just under a dollar you could snatch up! All in all though, for something that's not going to impress a whole lot, you get what you pay for I suppose. That said, overall value for $.12 USD, you do the math. It's definitely worth it!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/Glock-18%20%7C%20Ironwork%20%28Field-Tested%29

The P2K Imperial isn't one of those skins you see very often. And in this case, that can be a great thing! It gives the chance to impress a few of your friends to the point they'll ask; "Whoa? Where'd you get this thing from?" Added to the fact it's a red and yellow P2K, there's not a whole lot out there with that sort of combination. Add that to the nonstop red stickers out there for this skin and it could be a serious homerun! Heck even the StatTrak isn't a bone-crushing price! There's just no bad news for this skin! Well... Except one perhaps. The wear on this can be a bit vibrant and that shows in game. If you're a perfectionist, it's going to be wise heading for FN or a great MW float. But considering that FN standard Non-statTrak and MW non-StatTrak is a mere $.06 difference, that's not a problem at all! StatTrak though, that's a $.30 difference so that too is reasonable. All around, it's a solid skin though the amount of wear seen is a bit of a negative. So much so, it had to be dropped to the ninth spot. Still, solid skin for the money? Absolutely!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/P2000%20%7C%20Imperial%20%28Minimal%20Wear%29

Overall, these three skins are totally worth it and will only take down half of your online funds (Unless you got some insane crafts). For three really not half bad skins, it sounds like a heck of a great way to get back into CS:GO or jumping into your first few games! After all, you'd now have half your bank get some other skins if you want or even a game or two! Not half bad!

#8 USP-S Royal Blue (FT $3.93, BS $4.53, & Souvenir BS $8.33, Glock-18 Night (FT $.49, Souvenir FT $1.24), P2000 Chainmail Souvenir (MW $4.94, FN $6.91, FT $5.70)











If you love Souvenirs, the USP, Glock, and P2K are right up your alley! But with souvenirs, it's a bit tricky as you can be the envy of all your friends, or they can question; "Why'd you pick THAT!? It's a souvenir! It's trash!" But considering we all hope and pray to get those Gold Kenny S, Shroud, and other epic pro players gold stickers, some of them can be insanely rare! If you're willing to browse that is. Though watch out as they can climb in price in a hurry!

Starting with the USP-S Royal Blue, FT is your best bet in terms of price though... even I admit, it's a bit plain. With some stickers around though on the market, it's going to get $.50+ spendier but to some it'll be worth it. BS condition however really looks good at it looks almost like a reverse blood tiger in blue. That said, you'll be stretching your budget for additional stickers just like the FT Version. But if you're looking for the ultimate status symbol, going full gold souvenir Royal is for your best option. Sadly, with just a few choices out there in BS Condition, I hope you like Nitr0 or praying on a buy order, because really, that's about it. BUT! If you get lucky and it's a great condition and placement of the stickers, you could hit a jackpot! However, tread carefully with this as you'd unable to be able to afford the Chainmail and would need to go with cheaper skins on this list for the P2K. If you're good with that, enjoy a heck of a great USP souvenir skin!

The P2K Chainmail is incredibly expensive, hence why you'd need to go to the souvenirs market and check them out. The regular after all is a whopping $20+! But being that you can score some gold stickers with a beast of a souvenir skin, it's more than worth it! However... apparently, these things are harshly treated by previous owners as a majority of them have been scraped at least one sticker. WHO DOES THAT!? However, with the ability to find at least a few in FT, MW, and FN conditions close enough to show stickers for market price, if you find one you're in love with, it's easily worth spending half your budget for it. Plus, the gold with the black and semi-grey coloring pattern is just too darn nice to ignore! Hence why I placed it here at #8. Is it a smart buy? It can be yeah! Are there others out there for better price? Absolutely. But if you're a huge time P2K Lover, a huge souvenir collector, or just love a change in pace for your skins, this will not disappoint.

The Glock-18 night on its own can be a bit plain yeah, yet it's near black looking concept is just brilliant for the endless sticker combos in the market! With Fallen, Fer, V4lde, Rain, even a Kenny S out there, the Night really is a hardcore winner to many. And if you add gold stickers to it, Oh it's too brilliant! Dev1ce, Shox, Nitr0, even another Kenny S Gold is available in the market! Now bear in mind, most of them will be Berlin souvenirs, so if you don't like that style, check for others. If they're too much for your liking, standard will still be a great skin so don't fret.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/Souvenir%20Glock-18%20%7C%20Night%20%28Field-Tested%29

All around, each are quite expensive, quite brilliant to look at, and quite the treat for the money. Can you score all three of them? Yes, but it's going to really stretch your budget especially if you want at least 2 souvenirs. Buy orders are the way to go there if you're going down that route. But really, if you love your flashy skins, this will impress your friends in a big way. Just... don't tell them how much you spent...

#7 USP-S BluePrint (FT $3.22, Stat BS $8.11), Glock-18 Blue Fissure (FT $.41, Stat $2.64), P2000 Fire Elemental (FT $5.80)


With the souvenirs at #8, having somewhat a blue theme, why not continue it with these three prized skins in the CS:GO Community? That said, if you're looking for an all StatTrak starting pistol loadout, best if you hold off for later down the list. Still, these epic skins will definitely be worth it!

Starting out with the USP-S Blueprint, it was one of the new skins from the Operation Hydra missions and cases you could get. And OOOOOOH BOY This thing looks amazing! Blue handle and barrel with black pinstripes making it look like a blueprint, a black covering the top of the pistol gives it an amazing contrast of colors! Now, ANY BLUE STICKER makes this thing the craft of the century! Like North, EnVyUs, Team Liquid, and Vega Squadron? Slap them on there and get ready to be amazed! The only downside to this epic USP-S Skin? The price... At a massive $3.40 for standard Non-StatTrak, it's a hefty 1/3rd of your bank! And not just that, if you want a Stat version, you're only option for this price point is BS and that's still over $8! So unless you really want one and want to set aside a P2K for later in the list, it may be better if you save your money. Still, at least there's some decent stickers for regular FT in the market for not too much over budget. No matter what however, getting this amazing blue USP-S is definitely worth it! Especially with your own one of a kind craft!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Blueprint%20%28Field-Tested%29

The Glock Blue Fissure is one of those starting T-Sided Pistols that is so darn good for so darn cheap, it makes me think; "Really!? It's that Cheap!?" Yeah, it really is that cheap! Introduced in the Arms Deal 3 collection, this dark grey (Nearly black) handle with a dark blue barrel looks like it's cracked from an earthquake. Simple, and yet amazingly designed, if you're looking for a blue themed inventory, you can't possibly leave this off the list! And with a lot of stickers for standard FT ready to be bought, those deals are darn good too! For less than 15 extra cents, you get a lot of bang for your buck, including Shox, a 2015 Cologne Ninja's In Pyjamas sticker, and Even a Krimz 2015 Cluj-Napoca sticker's there! Just make sure they are in a good placement and not scraped before buying them. So with all this bang for buck, it's a bit hard to explain why this skin is only at #7. Still, it's a skin that may impress your friends and easily make you happy you spent merely a half a dollar for it.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/Glock-18%20%7C%20Blue%20Fissure%20%28Field-Tested%29

The P2000 Fire Elemental is arguably the most sought after iconic skin for the weapon. At a massive $6 USD for just a FT condition, there had better be a lot there. Oh... Oh heck yeah there is! The iconic flame in the middle of the barrel, the blue shading with it, and the fact it's something just not seen out there in the public, it's something that would definitely impress your friends! Not just that, you don't even need stickers to go well with it! (That's a bit of a shock considering, well... it's me.) To go with it, even though many don't use the P2K, it's something you can really brag about. Being able to yell; "I'm on fire!" when getting 3 or 4 K's in a comp can really make it feel all worthwhile owning this skin! There's just so much to love about it! However... Being that it takes up nearly 60% of your Bank account on a P2K when many don't use the item, it can hinder your thinking on spending that much for one. Unfortunately, that is why it can't be ranked inside the top 5 as of now. It's just too expensive to really say it's fully worth it. That said, at least you'll own an Icon. But you will only have the slimmest of bank left owning this, the Glock, and the USP. And you won't be able to get any of them in StatTrak form... Sorry...
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/P2000%20%7C%20Fire%20Elemental%20%28Field-Tested%29

Overall, if you're loving the blue inventories, try to give this a chance if you want to spend the money. With all of them being decently iconic, able to impress your friends, will definitely look good in game, and are part of a theme, it's a shame it'll take away nearly all your bank. And without the money to get some more skins... I just can't squeeze these three into the Top 5.

#6 USP-S Guardian (FT $1.18, Stat $3.68), Glock-18 Royal Legion (FT $.73,Stat $3.56), P2000 Ivory (MW $.11, Stat $.35)



With four darn nice combinations of starting pistols down, The Guardian, Royal Legion, and Ivory are being placed at #6. Sure there may not be a pattern to this madness, though they are still amazing skins nevertheless! After all, with some thankfully cheap prices now, it's a breath of fresh air knowing you don't have to break the bank for some amazing pistol skins. Even if you need that StatTrak inventory like a few of us have to have, your bank won't be totally drained as we introduce these three skins.

The USP-S Guardian is yet one more blue colored USP-S Skin in this list. By now I can imagine you'd be a bit weary choosing between these three blue silent CT-Sided pistols though I have a method to my madness. Unlike the previous two USP's, this one is way cheaper! And with a slight twist to this design, a black handle and silencer makes the dark blue barrel look extraordinary! Even with the CT insignia near the handle adding to this, the skin just looks perfect for the CT Side! Even if you want to some stickers on this skin, the Market has plenty for you including Neo Berlin, JKS Berlin, Astralis Berlin, even a triple 2015 Cluj-Napoca craft of CLG, EnVyUs, and Team Liquid for just two dimes more! Even if that's regular Non-StatTrak FT, there's plenty of others in Stat FT condition to, though it can get pricy quick. By all means though, it's an amazing skin stock and even better with a marvelous craft! Bottom line, if you're looking for a bargain blue USP that's dedicated to the CT's, this is perfect for you!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Guardian%20%28Field-Tested%29

The Glock-18 Royal Legion is one of those skins that can be very much appreciated for the outstanding details on the Silver engraved barrel. Yet, for some reason, it goes underappreciated. Even with an Orange handle and under-barrel coloring, not a whole lot of players keep this great looking item as their starting pistol on T-Side and head for something "Better Looking". For me however, this skin is arguably one of the prettier Glock Skins in game. And no, I don't mean it as a "Cute" Skin, but a darn nice one that I'd be proud to use any game! Even taking a look into the FT market, there's tons of potential in stickers applied selling for I'll admit, a bit more than expected. But for being just a shade under $.50 more, there's some 2016 Cologne stickers that if they're placed well and intact could be outstanding looking in game! Taco, FNX, SK Gaming, even an Olofmeister 2016 Cologne all on separate FT Versions, the potential for this skin could be outrageous! Heck, even if you want just a plain one to look at that grand engraving, you'll have plenty of money to afford one, even if it means spending the extra $2.80 for the StatTrak version.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/Glock-18%20%7C%20Royal%20Legion%20%28Field-Tested%29

The P2K Ivory is one of those skins that's an icon merely because you see so many owning one in their inventory. Whether it's in BS condition or a shocking FN version, it's not hard to blame anyone for having at least one considering it costs just over a dime to get one! And that's even in MW Condition! Heck FT Version is UNDER A DIME! But with so many out there, you can imagine having one of them won't impress your friends that easily right? Not unless you have a heck of a great sticker craft to it! Just like the AK Redline or Elite Build, this skin a magnet for stickers! Being an Ivory color handle and under the barrel, the solid black barrel leaves this simple design with an amazing amount of crafts waiting to be pursued! Pro players, community stickers, Pro teams, or even the Master Chief Collection, it does not matter as the Ivory goes well with anything! And with hundreds of crafts to choose from in the market, you could snatch Rain, NBK'ing', Apex, even a StanIsLaw Foil for just pennies over market! And not just that, you can get some great crafts for just TWO CENTS Over market on MW ones! Even StatTrak MW's, you can score some potentially epic crafts for just dimes more than market price! Just make sure if you do this, check in game inspecting them to see if they aren't scraped. For something a few claim as "A bit boring of a Skin", for $.12 USD for a MW condition P2K, I'm seriously impressed with how nice this skin is.

#5 USP-S Stainless (FT $2.81), Glock-18 Grinder (MW $1.11, Stat $4.25), P2000 Imperial Dragon (FT $1.72, Stat $4.00)





Breaking into the Top 3 are two silver looking skins, (Grinder potentially.) and a red dragon ready to dominate pistol rounds for you. For two of these skins, you don't exactly need stickers for them, though you're going to need your bank in case if you want StatTraks. But if you're looking for top notch deals for a few bucks, you're in the right area!


Starting with the USP-S Stainless, it came out in the Arms Deal 3 Collection. Being a black handle and black silencer, its stainless steel color (Hence the name) is one amazing looking skin! That contrast of color is just gorgeous! I mean, get one in a great float and my goodness it's clean! Yeah it's going to set you back a few bucks and StatTrak really isn't an option, but at the same time you'll be gawking over this thing in game. Even without the StatTrak's, the value out of this thing is actually impressive. You wouldn't have thought an all silver steel barreled USP design and calling that a skin would work out right? Apparently wrong as this bad boy goes near the $3 USD market. And trust me, you can make some SICK Crafts on this thing! Heck, I checked the market and already there's a couple potential deals out there! With a few G2 stickers calling, Dennis the pistol master was there too ready to be bought up as well as SK gaming 2016 cologne, and even a Ninja's in Pyjama's 2019 Berlin with a London G2 sticker! Try to check however to see if they are in good condition and great placement before buying them, but if you're happy with them, they're definitely worth the extra $.40 USD. After all, if you really like MiBR, G2, and SK gaming and can afford some stickers for this USP, you're going to be thanking yourself for an epic craft once you're in game! And for all that you'll still have the funds left over! (Unless you're buying StatTraks.) All in all, it's an incredibly solid skin for a pretty modest price and worth that Top 5 Ranking.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Stainless%20%28Field-Tested%29

The Glock-18 Grinder appeared out of the Vanguard Collection and being a pattern skin, it's a bit of a tricky one. Some days you'll find a pure black one and others you're going to find what looks to be a silver disk circling the barrel. Whichever one you like, it's certainly an original Glock! Oddly enough, it's also quite cheap and doesn't even need stickers to make it look better. Sure it's a decent call if you love pro, team, and community stickers, but looking at this thing just regularly, that's a heck of a deal for just $1 with some change! Really, I'm not sure what else to say! It's an amazing looking skin no matter how you slice it! However, it has to settle for a 5th ranking as there's some even crazier Glock skins out there. But if you're looking for an original and love the patterns, you're never going to regret that simple $1.07 spending for a starting T-Sided pistol skin.

All bow to your dragon! The Iconic P2K Imperial Dragon comes from the Gamma Collection and wow it is vibrant! Just look at that red coloring with engraved Dragon outlining! Truthfully speaking, this P2K is up there with the elite of the elite just losing out to the Fire Elemental. However, unlike the Fire, this is still in the mid $1.60 range in USD. That's a whole lot cheaper than a Fire Elemental! But it's not like you're sacrificing quality! Just look at that Dragon! Holy crow this thing looks epic! You don't even need stickers for this icon either! It's just too good not to be placed in the Top 5 though sadly it has to stall out here as if you're looking for StatTraks for each of your skins, I'm afraid you'll have to make do without one or even two of them. Still, regardless if you want StatTrak or not, you'll be enjoying this dragon in game for the price.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/P2000%20%7C%20Imperial%20Dragon%20%28Field-Tested%29

All in all, you can't get them all in StatTraks, but if you want to keep your Steam Funds for some other skins, you'll be saving more than $4 left. But you won't be sacrificing quality for this $5+ worth of skins! If anything, you might be impressing your friends with these awesome three pistols and getting a heck of a deal for all of them in the process.

Here we are at the Finale Four Combinations! It's been a heck of a ride and while some epic skins have been ranked, the next Four cement themselves atop this list! Let's start out by introducing the USP.

Dating all the way back to the Summer Case 2014, the USP Blood Tiger has been a staple of CS:GO for a long time. It's red and black tiger stripes looking bada** in game, it's no wonder why this skin has claimed the #4 spot. Being so darn cheap for such a great looking skin, if you manage to snatch one for a great float, you really couldn't see why it's only $1.08 USD. Being that it has a great amount of stickers already on Market, they aren't even that much overpriced. Some being just $.30 over with some potential great crafts! That said, just as I keep advising, please check in game for placement and condition of those stickers. Really, there's nothing bad I can say about this skin! It's cheap, amazingly cool in game, and can even impress a few of your buddies, especially with an amazing Craft. So go hunting Tiger!

The Glock-18 Candy Apple finally arrives and it couldn't be more embraced by the CS:GO Community. From the Italy Collection, it has a massive fan base around this skin! And there's no wonder why either. The basic Black handle and Candy red color say it all! It's so simple and yet it's one of those skins that you just can't ignore. Unless you're a die-hard blue color gamer, odds are you've owned or know someone that's owned this beast. And with stickers all over the Market ready to be sold, crafts on this thing span far and wide. With Faze Clan, Adren, Issaa, oBo, AZR, Chris J, Rain, and hundreds more pages of potential crafts awaiting, your creativity with this ingenious Glock skin can be nonstop. Not just that, look at the price point. With this costing only four dimes, it's one of those deals that feels too good to be true. (Especially if you have a sick craft you scored for no additional price.) But... Oddly enough, it is true and if you get this in game in a crazy good MW float, you'll be more than happy to use it on T-Side. So enjoy this sweet treat of a deal!

Coming out of the Clutch Case, there's a reason I've gone a bit mad and placed a $.10 P2K Urban Hazard over the iconic Imperial Dragon. You could buy SIXTEEN of these things compared to ONE Imperial Dragon! And let's be honest, the Dragon is an icon and way better looking, but for just a dime USD, this P2K is one of the best deals you could ever find! Look at it! With a blackish grey camo as the handle, it fades so well into a dark red and gives a slight modern stripe down the top of the barrel. And being you can score stickers for literally pennies more, there's nearly an endless amount of opportunities on the Market! Again, I'm not knocking down the Imperial Dragon. It's an amazing skin for the P2K and a lot of players would love to own it! But comparing that standard FT condition to a $.27 StatTraked MW P2K Urban Hazard, there's no competition on which you're getting more bang for their buck. ...$.27 in a buck. And overall, even if you don't like stickers or statTraks, this ten cent masterpiece of a P2K is one skin you can buy and shell the rest of your $9.90 on a crazy USP and Glock-18 Skin with no regrets. And you don't even feel cheated out of your Ten Cents either. It's just this darn good.

Overall, controversy aside on the P2K's, the three Red skins can give you great deals and enormous satisfaction in game knowing you have an all red starter pistol lineup. From a great deal in the USP, to the steal of the Glocks Candy Apple, all the way to the buy of a lifetime in the P2K Urban Hazard, you can afford the USP and P2K in StatTrak form and the Glock Candy Apple with way more left to spend. And though you may not impress your friends as easily, you have plenty of room for some other skins down the road to impress them with.

#3 USP-S Cortex (FT $4.09, Stat BS $8.33), Glock-18 Weasel (FT $.37, Stat $1.68), P2000 Acid Etched (FT $.61, Stat $1.45)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1656724982565967301/8AF0094F7B3BD9E06C20ED8D0FEAE6C59D801AC4/

Finally Cracking into the Top 3, it's a bit of a surprise to have the Cortex, Weasel, and Acid Etched hold this number down. Especially considering you can't get all three of them in StatTrak Form. Yeah I know... I was really wrestling that concept for a while though after some consideration they had to belong here for a few reasons. Let's start with the USP shall we?

The USP-S Cortex is a recent skin introduced to CS:GO via the Clutch Collection. Being it's a Pink rarity (One step down from Red Covert Skins), I can imagine why this skin is quite expensive. But... $4 for a USP and StatTrak is a massive $8.33? That's a heck of a lot! And whilst I agree it is, technically speaking, you can get a StatTrak form of this skin and snatch both the Glock and P2K. However, you wouldn't have a chance of getting them in StatTrak form unless you're hyper lucky with buy orders. It's happened before! So while you do have a chance if you go down this route, one thing is for sure. The community LOVES This thing. Hundreds of this skin sell each day via the Steam Market and there's a reason why. This thing is INSANE. A Black Handle consisting of a small skeleton, it shows its skull open and a pink goop rising to the steel looking barrel. Swirling throughout the barrel, some steel looking silver still shows as the brain-like color drifts into the blackish silencer and spells out "USP". And apparently that's hyper cool as so many just want to get this skin. Personally speaking, you don't even need to get stickers on this thing if you want one. Which is actually a good thing considering their price is well over the $4.60 mark. Truthfully speaking, you're better off keeping this beast stock. And whilst you'll impress your friends in game with this ungodly thing, the fact is you're going to be paying easily 40% of your bank on this skin. But it's going to be worth it since there aren't many pink skins in the game like this one. Now go headshot hunting!

For a long time, the Glock Weasel was one of the most popular attractions for T-Sided starting pistols. Sadly, those days are dwindling with thanks to a few mew concepts being released. That said however, it's a perfect time to revisit an old classic from the Gamma 2 Collection. The price on this epic skin has narrowed down to a very favorable $.39 USD and StatTrak down to $1.79 for a good one. And being this is one of the most iconic cheaper versions of the Glock, that's an absolute steal! I mean, look at this cute little guy! A silver flower background for a brown weasel just screams Epic! And though some like the Flash Gaming Blue Weasel craft, some just like to keep this skin plain. Personally, I tend to agree with keeping it clean, though there can still be some amazing crafts involved with it. But no matter what, regardless if you go with a StatTrak version or a normal one, getting one won't be a mistake! It's just too nice in game!

The P2000 Acid Etched seemed to have just come out from the Prisma 2 Collection but already it just looks insane in game! Heck, it hasn't even been a year since it came out and look at this thing! It looks like Bob Ross threw his jars of paint on a P2K and said; "Nice! That works perfectly!" Really though, I kind of agree with Bob here! With a base of purple-ish, a combination of green, yellow, orange, and blue colors can be spotted striping, splotting, and drooling down a few parts of this skin. That gives this P2K such a unique and original design that pulls it off so well! Heck, there's even a Clover at the top of the barrel wishing you luck as you attempt to best the T-Side on pistol round! Really I have no complaints about this epic skin as it's trying to find its footing on the Market. Personally speaking, Buy Orders may be the wise choice here as it seems to continue to go down in price. As for stickers however, don't count on the market much as they don't have a lot of options for FT and Stat FT versions. That said, if you have some creative ideas with North, Cloud 9, or some other teams, it could look unbelievably sweet! All in all, it's more than a solid skin! It's a great deal considering it's just a few pennies more than a half dollar. There's just so much there that you'll be impressed it's this inexpensive skin! Maybe even your friend will be too.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/P2000%20%7C%20Acid%20Etched%20%28Field-Tested%29

Overall, it's unbelievable that these three skins can be bought for under the $10 USD Budget! Yeah, getting StatTraks for them all won't happen but at the same time, the fact that they all are this epic looking and you can potentially save 40% of your bank for other skins make them earn this #3 rank.

#2 USP-S Cyrex (FT $1.64, Stat $4.40), Glock-18 Water Elemental (FT $4.22), P2000 Obsidian (FT $.47, Stat $1.18)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1656724698008627090/57CD787385B0B97E6F4A7A73A3417CDCA9D428F7/
(FT Cyrex)

This is by far the hardest Top 2 I've ever done in a list before... With two seriously Iconic skins ranking here, it's hard to give reasoning why all three of these amazing skins don't get that number one spot. But regardless, all three of these skins are epic in their own right! So without further delay, let's give a reasoning to these three titans of pistol skins.

Sadly for those who love the Cyrex, I can't have it placed at #1 at the moment. That said, this epic USP is by no means a loser. It's arguably one of the best USP Skins under $2 ever to be brought to CS:GO. The White, black, and red accents give this skin a near flawless look in game. And better than that are the creative minds of gamers everywhere applying stickers to this thing. Seriously, some of these crafts are insanely magnificent to the point words can't express it anymore. Even if you don't like stickers, Faze clan, Ninja's in Pyjamas, Gambit Gaming, Astralis, even Virtus.Pro stickers put on this skin just make it pop to the point you would be a criminal not screenshooting it. And to the point of stickers, there's a near endless supply for the Cyrex on the Market. Make sure to check in game if they are in good condition and of placement because if they are, for a few dimes more than standard market, you're going to be yelling how nice some of these crafts look! You can even afford StatTrak for this skin!
So why in the actual world is this just at #2? Well, sadly, it's as simple as this. Though this is no doubt an epic skin, the price pint is good, but not as good as our last USP. ...No really, THAT'S THE ONLY REASON the Cyrex doesn't get #1. And though it's easily affordable, those that love their StatTrak items can't get one for each of these skins for under $10 USD total. But look at the bright side, regardless if you get this epic skin in StatTrak or not, this skin is more than worth it for $1.70 any day of the year!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Cyrex%20%28Field-Tested%29

The rightful ruler of the Glock-18 has arrived! Because the Fade is just insanely overpriced, the Water Elemental is the King of the "Cheap" Glock skins. AND FOR A GOOD REASON! Look at that water dragon with the red background! It's outstanding! Even if you get a BS condition one, it's so worth the price to own an icon! It's most definitely going to impress your friends just like the Cyrex! You don't even need stickers for it! Just owning this great is plenty! Bang for Buck though, there's one other that beats it, even though it's more iconic than it. And for this reason, I must confess, the Water Elemental has to be ranked #2 for its sheer price point. At $4+, it's easily taking a huge chunk away from your bank and unless you only want a Glock Skin, StatTrak is way too much. For $9.90+ for a BS Condition StatTrak Water Elemental, sadly this is the only reasons it came up short of the #1 spot. You can't score this in StatTrak and the other skins regardless what you try. You'd need the biggest miracle in Buy orders to get all three without spending $10. But regardless of this small detail, owning an icon like this for under $10 and have two other amazing Starting Pistols is incredible! So get the "Water Gun" and have a blast in game!

The P2K Obsidian is one heck of an epic skin that's original design is amazing! Red shifting into black, it's nothing like Minecraft! A circular looking flame covering the background of the skin through the red and black, it just looks so dang cool holding in game! And for something that's only a half dollar in USD, that's a heck of a score for something that awesome looking! For a couple of stickers going with it on the Market, it can also be hone to a couple cool looking Crafts! Honestly, it's one skin that looks so much more incredible than some of the other P2K skins for a fraction of the price, which leaves it staying as the #2 best P2K value wise.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/P2000%20%7C%20Obsidian%20%28Field-Tested%29

Overall, the Cyrex, Water Elemental, and Obsidian easily deserve this high rank as you can easily get them all standard, though can't be claimed the best as you can't get them all StatTraked. That in no way however should take away from the fact these three red-ish skins are incredible in game and so worth their value. They're just too boss!

#1 USP-S Torque (FT $1.08, Stat $2.79), Glock-18 Moonrise (FT $.41, Stat $1.39), P2000 Handgun (FT $.39, Stat $1.23)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1656724636761378957/9403CACF523951B4F8DDD9DD82661BF58EAFC2D9/ (Glock Moonrise Screenshot)
We've made it to the best of the best! And with the USP-S Torque, Glock-18 Moonrise, and P2000 Handgun claiming the titles as the best Starting Pistols to get for under $10, let's get into the reason why they've claimed the #1 Spot.

The USP-S Torque is a staple, icon, however you want to say it. This skin is just that good for the USP! But why did it best the Cyrex for #1? For a great FT Condition, you merely need $1.08 in order to buy it and that's it! You can realistically buy this and either choice of the Moonrise or Obsidian for just as much as the Cyrex alone! Not just that, you can buy a StatTrak MW Torque for just about the same price as a StatTrak FT Cyrex too! That's why this outranks the Cyrex. You really do get so much more bang for your buck. Yeah the Cyrex can be better looking, but able to get two skins for the price of one just puts it over the top.

With an incredible amount of stickers to go with it in the market for not much over market, the craft potential is nearly infinite. Not just that, any team can be put on the Torque and have it match up well! Even the Blue Cloud 9 stickers match up well with this! Heck, if you're a Flipsid3 fan and want a craft with your favorite green team, it easily makes it look cool too! Realistically, for so cheap but with so much potential, the Torque had to claim #1 as its value way surpasses just a mere $1 price tag. It's far too brilliant!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Torque%20%28Field-Tested%29

The Glock-18 Moonrise came from the Clutch Case and immediately was a favorite. For being incredibly cheap now in days, it offers a lot! A purple sky with buildings and a white moon to compliment a black handle, it just looks too dang good to be a mere four dimes worth. But it is! With very few purple colored skins in CS:GO, this is far and away a breath of fresh air to CS:GO gamers. To top it, if you're lucky enough to get a star pattern (A star on one of the indents of the Glock.) that's a huge bonus. And being a pattern skin, the moon can be all over the barrel of the Glock. You don't even need stickers for this epic behemoth! But on the off chance you want some, fret not, there's plenty in the Market for pennies over the standard price. So go chase that moonrise and enjoy a sick skin in game for only a few left over dimes and enjoy! And if you want it StatTraked, all you have to do is shell out just a dollar more for FT condition. It really has so much to offer for the money.

The P2000 Handgun came out of the Falchion Collection and thank goodness it did! My gosh this thing is spectacular in game! A blue base with white and a comic book feeling along with it, and anyone can feel like they're in an action hero clutch moment. For $.40 USD, that's a whole heck of a lot for that slim price! Even StatTrak FT at $1.23 is a great price for this thing! That's less than what you'd spend for an Acid Etched Stat FT! But if you're not entirely sold without needing a sticker or two, the Market has you covered again. Looking around, pennies and dimes are all you need for some great looking stickers. Again however, check in game to see if they are intact and in a great condition. For most of the time though, you'll be finding blue stickers and the occasional green Optic Gaming out there. Heck, even if you want a red sticker placed on this thing, it's still going to look phenomenal as the Handgun just can't miss with those amazing looks! It had to be #1 because of its iconic styling, amazing price, and sticker versatility. It did it all better than the previous nine and I don't see this changing anytime soon. BOOM!
