It depends on what you want to do with the pistol. Is it for PvP or PvE. If you are going for Jedi you might want the one with the higher min damage.

Funny, because I think I would always go with the first pistol.
My reasoning is that I would gladly accept a DPS difference of less than one as well as a smaller minimum damage output (only 10 difference or so) compared to a lower SAC (alright, so that's only 2 difference) and quite a higher accuracy bonus (60 instead of 45).
However, I really think it's up to you and what you plan on doing with the weapon. If for example you wanted to come and kill me, I would suggest the second gun

Im a MBH/MSMUGGLER, medic xx2xx. PvE is of no real importance here, the weapon is mainly intended for PvP as in either jedi hunting, duels and GCW.
My tactics and playstyle are mainly with a very fast pistol.
At the end the real question here is about the accuracy bonus on both weapons, when you speed pup these babies you lose -30 acc, that means with gun one I still have +30 accuracy bonus while with the second one will only have +15 accuracy.
How important is accuracy ? I tend to believe accuracy is very important, especially for a smuggler right ?
meanwhile I found a third alternative, take a load of this :
Featherweight FWG5 Pistol
15+ Pistol accuracy Skill mod
Improved Attack Speed 12%
16+ Accurary
379-953
Unmod Speed 1.6
SAC 78
Unmod dps 412.16 /sec
This weapon has a big dps increas, but 10+ SAC increase and a much lower accuracy bonus, while the dps is tempting, dont think this gun cut it due to the SAC and ACC bonus right ?
Thx for the fine input on this,
Sevok

I find SAC to be an important thing for me. My pistol (A Renegade) has a SAC of about 75 or 80 at the moment, and I still find that I run out of action if taking on more than one enemy higher than level 75. It doesn't get me killed, but it means it takes longer to kill each of them, since I have to resort to either hitting them (but who does that?!) or using my basic shot for a few rounds while my action goes back up.
Also, I believe that accuracy helps you get critical strikes against your opponents. I find that higher accuracy (plus a nice level one slice in Critical Strike Chance) helps me lots.
With the latest weapon you asked about, if it were me, then I would deal with the SAC without any problems (but that's because I'm used to my Renegade). Also, the DPS seems to be a nice trade-off for the SAC. The only thing that would make me think is the Accuracy. But I guess with +30 in there, it wouldn't be a problem.

If you are going to try and kill Jedi, min damage and SAC are going to be the two most important stats. From what I have read on weaponsmith forums, the accuracy bonus isbelieved to be bugged The +15 pistol accuracy works, but most people that have tested the other acc bonus say that it does nothing at all at this time.
