Most vendor HCS suck. I don't think I'll be buying vendor weapons anymore. Most player put in a enough hours, do nightfalls and missions that drops and packages give you a steady flow of weapons.
I got a mida, a suros, 2 nlbs, a black hammer, a praetorians foil, light of the abyss, a new monarchy scout rifle, the crypt dweller, atheons Epilogue and a few other legendaries which I sharded this week so far.
I have no more death singers, gorgon chests, atheons, crotas or nightfalls this week but I'm sure doing rocks and bounties something else is like to drop.
Oh and I also sharded a Hezen vengeance and Praedyths revenge.
wow. I play waaaaay too much.
EDIT: Red Hand 9 is the greatest hand cannon. If you get as a drop you'll love it.

Agreed! I got one with explosive rounds. That thing hits like a truck. Plus it has 10 rounds. Much better gun.

Red Han xi w/ outlaw and explosive rounds. It is a beast, and my go to HC

I agree vendor weapons suck, but only the Vanguard ones. I've had great success using Crucible weapons like Do Gooder V, B-Line Trauma and, in particular, TFWPKY 1969 I can easily recommend that Hand Cannon, if you have the Crucible Marks (150).
-
TFWPKY 1969 is such a good hand cannon. I've got two, one from the vendor and another from a package with explosive rounds.
-
I think they can be better but generally I get the same weapons and the rare ones like Red Hand 9 in the faction packages or in drops.

You're right that vendor stock is very mediocre (except for the crucible fusion rifle with arc which I want for the fusion rifle quest on nightfall). It's to keep you going until you start doing the missions that get you a chance to have much better weapons.
