i like the "give sec weak revolvers and give detective a stronger one" idea
how the sec revolvers could work is that they deal very little damage (enough that if you unloaded all your bullets into a guy he'd be yellow but not enough that if he's hit once or twice he's limping) and instead focus on impeding whatever limb you shoot (making limb targeting more useful for guns)
aiming for the arm/hand has a good chance of making them drop what they're holding in that arm, shooting them in the leg can slow them and shooting at their foot will make them trip for a few seconds (although it'll be harder to hit), aiming for the chest will just damage them a bit/tiny bit of slowing and aiming for the head/groin has a low chance of knocking them down
this could make gun fights or stand offs really cool; do you aim for his feet to trip him up, or focus on damage? do you risk shooting a guy with a hostage's hand on the chance that you could make him drop the hostage?
detective's revolver could work the same but maybe trade higher damage for a lower chance of doing the stuns/special stuff to limbs
