When currency to buy guns in the Tower is rare (it theoretically takes a full week and change of playtime to gather enough marks to buy weapons), "use it to evaluate" simply does not work.

This is a very good point. I don't think it's as bad as you suggest, since you have the bars to give you a general sense of the weapon, and again, even showing exact number would tell you nothing about how it performs in the field that the bars don't already reveal.

Still, you are right in that saving up for a week only to buy a dud would suck. I think the solution is either to eliminate vendor gear (bad), add a way to test guns in a practice environment like a gun range before you buy (good), or have a mode in the crucible where you select the guns you can take into the match from a pool of crucible / vanguard gear (best).
