you need at least pistoleer 0040 to get extra KD defence.
I am currently debating whether to drop BH from 4030 to 4000 and go pistoleer 0043, I am not sure how much an extra 30 melee def would help me compared to the eyeshot with geo gun ability against jedi groupies.

There is no "Best" pistol really.
To know what pistol you should use you have to /examine whatever it is you are shooting at, in PvE anyway.
As a PIstoleer you should get yourself the follwing pistols:
Striker Pistol - Kinetic Damage and AP0, use Gorax Bone shards to enhance
DX2 - Acid Damage and AP1, can be Krayted
Geonosian Sonic Pistol - Stun Damage and AP0, can be Krayted
DE-10 - Energy Damage and AP1 and can be Krayted to have very high max damage (people will tell you this is the "best" pistol)
FWG5 - Heat Damage and AP0, use Gorax Bone shards to enhance.
Modified Rebublic Blaster - Energy and AP1, also has extra bleed DoTs.
So, if a mob has 100% Energy resist and Medium Armour... the DE-10 will do nothing at all to it, the same mob may have 30% Kinetic Resists, in which case you can get your striker pistol out.
There is a fair amount of changing between weapons to suit the situation as a pistoleer, as we output low damage, you need to pick the gun that will hurt your target the most.
In PvP, go for a krayted Geo Pistol, a DE-10 and a DX2... most players wont have as high resistance to stun as they do every other resist, but with the advent of anti decay kits on PSGs, you may find a DX2 useful for getting past the shield and hitting armour.
A PSG will typically have Energy resist on it too but you might want to try the high damage of the DE-10, especially if you hunt jedi.

High end? I assume your refering to a de 10? Well you need to be master to use a de 10 even says so in the description and as for a geo..I think its...techs. 2?... I could be wrong Havent had to worry about that for a while.

Hello,
I'm considering using this as a template:
Master Smuggler
Master Teras Kasi
Medic 0010
Pistoleer (Either 4000 or 0004)
My question is, what would a knowledgable Pistoleer suggest? Should I go the 4000 or the 0004? I'm imaging the added Pistol Speed would be nice, as well as Warning Shot, but at the same time Stopping Shot has to be incredible, though I'm wondering how Fan Shot would help me. If I were to go the 0004 route, I might only go up to 003 and add another box in Medic so I can heal better.
Any advice?
Thanks!
