CSGO/CS2: Best sticker positions for pistols

Best sticker positions

Every weapon in CS:GO has an objectively best positioning for stickers.

So we have taken the time to show you the best sticker positions for every skin in CS:GO, starting with all pistols in this guide.

Keep in mind, that the position to where a sticker is applied also factors in the sticker percentage price of said weapon.

The “best pos” is always tied to the best visibility in-game.

Getting overpay for stickered skins

Generally speaking only tournament, old, discontinued, or rare stickers get overpaid, meaning you get more money for your skin, if specific stickers have been applied.

Your sticker has to be wanted. A good example of overpay are the following tournament stickers:
- Dreamhack 2013 Souvenirs
- Katowice 2014
- Dreamhack 2014
- Katowice 2015 holos
- Krakow 2017 golds

The Pistols

For most pistols, you will see a clear pattern: The best pos (at least most of the time) is right above the magazine. The worst positionings are the ones that are always covered by the hands of your player model or the ones that aren’t able to be seen on screenshots.

Conclusion

This article was a showcase of the rankings of sticker positions of every pistol in CSGO.
Remember that stickers considered 4th or 5th best position are usually counted as “worst-pos” stickers. Such positions get little to no overpay, depending on the sticker and the sticker base price.

If they are highly sought after, like Katowice 2014’s or Krakow 2017 Golds, that overpay can still be kinda hefty.

Meme skins in particular are what some collectors are after. So keep that in mind when buying or selling your stickered skins. You are always welcome to ask for a price check via our Discord channel here. Here, people also share their favorite sticer crafts.
