Of course you're forced to use a certain playstyle with the Executioner; it's a short-range revolver that fires shotgun shells. You're forced to use a certain playstyle with shotguns and sniper rifles, and to some extent LMGs, but does that make them not worth using?

As for Speed Reloader, it's not 100% obligatory, but it does help quite a lot. At the moment I'm using the tactical knife and laser for it, and it still performs fine. If you can truly use the Executioner, you may not even have to use any attachments at all, so long as you know your limits with it.

I'm not fond of the Tac because of it's recoil pattern; it makes it harder to aim at longer ranges, and if I wanted to use a short-range pistol, I'd use the Executioner or KAP-40. The Five-seven and B23R outclass the Tac in my opinion.
