Lots of cool restricted options that aren't pistols, still absolutely worth taking and applying for restricted. Everybody always automatically defaults to pistols but there are other neat restricted firearms.

There is also always the opportunity with future governments to loosen pistol laws, don't want to be kicking yourself over not having a RPAL in the future.
