This perk is commonly used in tandem with weapons with relatively slow reload times, such as shotguns and LMGs, as they leave the player vulnerable, especially in close quarters combat and free-for-all matches, where players may not have the chance to retreat from a firefight to reload before engaging another enemy. However, the first shell loaded into the W1200 or M1014 shotguns will not receive the full perk benefit (+50% and +10%, respectively).

The perk Sleight of Hand is useful for two very different situations. First off, as stated above, this perk is excellent for a player who does not want to reload often with weapons having a huge ammo capacity, such as the MG42 or the Browning M1919. This way, the long reload time is sliced in half and the player does not have to wait as long until they can start firing again. The second way this perk is used effectively is with weapons with ridiculously low ammo capacities that don't have very long reload times such as the Double-barreled shotgun. The experienced player knows that in close quarter maps, reloading can and often costs ones life. That is why this second option, fast reload with a small ammo capacity, is crucial in staying alive and getting the kills for those great killstreaks.
[edit] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Sleight of Hand will make its return as a Tier 1 perk. The pro version of the perk will enable the user to aim down the sight faster.
