im 20k combat exp from novice commando, and I have enough pistol exp to get pistoleer right now. IM wondering if I should pursue it or not to use the launcher pistol...

Get Commando. You're going to love the max 1000 damage FlameThrowers.

Well of course Im going to get commando. Im just wondering if I should get pistoleer in addition to that so I can kick ass with a launcher pistol or not.

If you go up in pistoleer you will be able to use the launcher pistol with it. A launcher pistol is MUCH more effective if you are gonna kill ATST's as if you go up the Fanshot line in pistoleer you can do stopping shot or fanshot at a rate faster than using a rocket launcher. I would suggest going up the first two boxes of stances also to increase your speed.

I got Pistoleer for HealthShot2. It is supposed to stack with HS1. Using your LP, kneel, HS2, HS1, then BS2, BS2, ...heal when needed, BS2.
I am also going for Smuggler, so the extra pistol mods help there, wish I could use the LP for pistol XP.

I'd go Smuggler. The Dirty Fighting tree has some of the best specials in the game, PvP or PvE.
You just wandered into a pop-spawn of insta-aggro Mokk Loreweavers? Freign Death!
Running faction missions as an overt PvP'er comes by blazing? Last Ditch.
Your pet/tank getting a little too hammered? Do you need a break from the constant hits? Panic Shot and/or Low Blow.
Some of the best pistol attacks in the game IMHO.

My bad. Going Smugggler is really only an option if you want to pursue the pistol XP for a bit! 
Getting just the base Pistoleer is a good idea. HS2 does stack with HS1, and will help out alot for a starting Commando.

Yes, get it... while I was working on the combat exp, I got some pistoleer skills. When you reach novice commando, your flamer will be horribly slow and inaccurate.
Your Launcher Pistol will be your tool to get the first skills boxes in commando. It gives heavy weapon exp, but uses pistol/pistoleer skill mods. Once you get higher in the commando tree, you can start surrendering the pistoleer skills.
