Hand Cannons (Destiny)

I wondered this plan of attack myself (having long since chosen HCs as my primary Guardian slayer in the Crucible), but worried about reload times. For hard, I want to go in with full Raid gear so I'm Light 30 (and therefore don't get any damage decreases against 30 enemies), which means I would have to put my trusty gloves that boost my HC reload speed aside.

Of course, I'm also a Hunter and tend to roll with Gunslinger and Chain of Woe, so one would figure that I can get by with pretty fast reloads already. I don't know, I only have one non-Exotic HC (Legendary) and it's not yet fully upgraded. I have both Exotic HCs (which are both in their last three upgrades), but their clip is way too small (along with some questionable stats/mods for Raid) for me to feel comfortable rolling in the Raid with when there's a better Exotic I could be using in Special/Heavy.

What about for going up against Oracles? How do the non-Raid-HCs fair against them? Would you suggest just switching back to a different primary with extra damage to Oracles if you're normally on teleport duty (as I tend to be)?
