What is the best gun a master pistol can get?
I saw that there are many more pistols in the game then in the profession tree anounced. Is this a bug or is a master pistol not able to use all pistols in the game?

A krayted DE-10 made with a yellow barrel is a very nice gun to use at Master... can take a while to loot and make or buy one though.
We cant use BH pistols or the Launcher Pistol, you'll need Desperado or Novice Commando for those.
The DE-10 and Geonosian Sonic Blaster dont show as certificates but you can use them.

There is no single answer to your first question. What pistol you use will depend on what you're fighting.
For question 2, Master Pistoleer can not use all pistols in the game.

The Scatter and Launcher pistols are not for pistoleers, but can be used with BH pistols and/or Novice Commando

You can have the best uber Scatter Pistol in the game, but it will not even scratch a Night Sister Elder.
The very same Scatter Pistol will be best thing to use against a Super Battle Droid.
Get a Scatter or DX2 (Acid), FWG5 (Heat), Republic Blaster or DE-10 (Energy), Geonocian Blaster (Stun)and a Striker pistol (Kinetic).
Attach /examine on a quickkey, anduse this whenever you meet a new monster.First look at their ARMOR. It will say "None" "Light" "Medium" or "Heavy".
FWG5/Geonocian Blaster/Striker are NOT Armor Piercing. This means that:
When you fightstuff with NO armor the damage will be changed with 0%
When you fightstuff with LIGHT armor the damage will be REDUCED -50% damage
Medium Armor: REDUCED -75% damage
Heavy Armor: REDUCED -87,5% damage
Republic Blaster/DE-10/DX2 or Scatter are LIGHT Armor Piercing. This means:
When you fightstuff with NO armor the damage will be BOOSTED +25% damage
When you fight stuff with LIGHT armor the damage will be changed with 0%
Mediumarmor: REDUCED-50% damage
Heavy Armor: REDUCED-75% damage
Now after knowing this, look at their resistances to find out which weapon will do most damage against each type of resistance.
For example, a Nightsister Elder is 100% resistant against Kinetic/Acid/Stun/Heat ... so you must use Energy damage.
A Nightsister Protector on the other hand is 100% resistant against Acid/Stun/Heat/Energy ... so you must use Kinetic damage.

When is there a situation where an FWG5 is more suitable than practically any other pistol? I've not found such a mob.
Oh, and BTW, republic blaster is AP1.

I cant say I ever find a situation where I use the heat damage of the FWG5....
I seem to only use my DE-10 (energy, AP1), DX2 (Acid, AP1) and Geo (Stun, AP0).
I could use a decent Striker though, disarming and punching nightsisters that I've poisoned down to 1 health when I dont even have Novice Brawler looks stupid.

Best there is in the Squill Cave. Grab a few FWG5 on the trip to Tattoine and grind them up in a day. Cheap and very effective.
Many monsters that are vulnerable against Stun is also vulnerable against Heat, so it's a much cheaper alternative when grinding on Giant Baz Nitches and Mokk's. It's also what to use on the dreaded Seething Bol Crushers that spoils a good Dantooine hunt with disease. Thoose are even 100% resistant against Geo's... And then you got Droideka's that do not like Heat at all.

Oh.
