I don't think it's been confirmed or denied by the Devs. In fact I don't think they've made any comment about that ability as of yet, but the hope is that we will, and we haven't heard no. Our correspondant is pushing for that ability for us. So we don't know if we'll be able to, but we're hopeful.
EDIT: FIRST!

I thought duel wield was a go, just no timeline as to when.

Hopefully not, based on :-
a) If pistolleer can do it fencers can do it (& I hate to be the baearer of bad news but thatd double a fencers damage output at no cost to his speed, whereas pistols would halve your accuracy doubling your speed.)
b) Same with Jedi & single bladed sabres
c) It'd look naff.

Giving Pistoleers dual-wield doesn't force them to give everyone else with a one-handed weapon dual wielding capabilities either, and even if it did the Devs would balance it accordingly.
Oh, and be careful about stepping on too many toes here, bashing Dual Wielding. Pistoleers have fought very hard for it, and voicing your objections now that the Devs have (apparently) agreed to this ability may likely cause a flame war, lol! We're disillusioned and craving attention. The Devs have thrown us a bone, and kicking that bone while we're chewing on it may be dangerous to your health.

If you read the multitude of posts/pages on duel wielding its pretty much been established that there will be or should beeither
A. a damage penalty to the off hand weapon
B. a speed penalty of some kind to offset damage
C. an accuracy penalty of some kind to the off hand weapon
This would still give the pistoleers the ability but will keep them from becoming too "uber"

will this give us the ability to use different styles of pistols LordMaxx ?
like say, i get pistoller 4, and then work on bounty hunter pistols, could i use one type of different pistols, scatter and Dx2 ??
or will it be limited only to master pistoller, which i dont mind, cause thats my goal, next year

Right now there is no hard info on how a dual wield would work. As was mentioned earlier however, it would very likely also be a Fencer option.
One suggestion I saw on how to make it differently though is based on how these are traditionally used.
Pistols would have increased damage with decreased accuracy. Firing two weapons at the same time makes aiming with either difficult reducing accuracy.
Fencers would get increased melee defense. As the off hand melee weapon is traditionally used as a defensive weapon.
That was just one suggestion. There are many more such as those mentioned above. I'm sure they will be asking for more once they start looking at implementing something like this.
Best of luck.

Nothing official on how its implemented, just that at some point (after Combat Upgrade) Dual Wielding would be put in for Pistoleers and Fencers.

waste93, it is something to bash about then we the devs get together on this subject later on. If they could look at the pros and cons of letting master pistollers yield two different types of pistols.
as you mentioned with increased damage but with less accuracy. i know most peeps go on about real life scenarios. most handguns do have too much weight and recoil for effective duel yielding. but it can be done.
So i am looking forward to this new skill.
another skill i think should be in the pistoller is similar to eye shot in bounty hunter. Both professions i think, have the same overall standards. so why not have a similar shot for pistoller? Fan shot is okay, from what i read off it, for hitting multiple targets, but there is times when this we do not want to use that skill.
