Ah ok so your weapon is the i110 from the MSQ...
Upgrading to ironworks will not save you. The difference will be tiny. Don't take gear upgrade for the holy grail, unless there is a huge amount of difference.
You should be able to run everything thrown at you by the MSQ perfectly fine with what the MSQ hands you out.
( this is not to say that upgrading isn't a good idea though! just take your time and go at your pace, the gear isn't the problem here )
