Handguns are the easiest to use and some of the most useful left hand weapons around. Unbanning them is effectively unbanning all left arm weapons. On almost any AC that uses a left arm weapon, you can switch that left arm weapon for a handgun like Wraith/69H and gain a large performance boost in PvP or break even with your old setup.
If you decide to unban some left arm weapons, make it weapon classes that are normally unused. ND or Special weapons only, or only allow GL/Shotgun/Missiles etc. Something that makes aiming harder will artificially raise match time and if it's also not the top end of left arm weapons you'll see a lot of new designs. The problem is, of course, having a huge ass banlist.
