My best pistoleer experience is something I can do over and over again:
Anytime I butcher rebels outside a player-owned faction base I love watching myself dodge the shots. It's like I'm taunting them.
I also get a kick out of using fanshot on them. At any given time, 20 or so rebels can go up in smoke.

Um...
Probably the time when my guild leader asked me to duel while we were standing outside the Tusken Star Cantina in Most Themis (Shadowfire). He didn't tell me why, just asked me to duel. So I accepted, then waited for a second, puzzled. When he didn't do anything for a moment, I figured he was testing how good his defense was or something and pumped astopping shot into him. 917 damage. Dropped him in one hit. He was like, "Dude! I told you do duel me, not OWN me!". Turns out he was setting up to duel four or five people at once so he could try out his new Fire Spider-enhanced area disease. The one with a 900-damage-tick. Or some similarly ridiculous number.
(Side note: Fire was unarmored and unbuffed and I had BH pistols 3 in addition to Master Pistoleer. Since I dropped BH I don't hit as hardor asoften...and nowhere NEAR as fast. Hate how BH is better at pistols than Pistoleers.)
As for other pistoleer experiences, I can't say that I've had that many good ones. The next gen of armor came out right after I finally mastered pistoleer and got BH to complement it, so I was pretty much worthless in PvP from that point, which really ticked me off. My previousPvP experiences up until that point (and game experiences in general) had been fairly good, and almost alla function of Master Commando, pre flame-DoT nerf. Those were the days when I really *enjoyed* this game.
My favorite story has to do with a raid on Anchorhead by members of an Imperial guild (I think it was ELITE, but I'm not sure; it was six months ago or more). An overt Rebel in the area between Bestine and Anchorhead had been killed by the incoming Imperial force (ten or so Imperials) and sent a /tell to warn those of us who were in Anchorhead. So I set myself up along their probable attack path and knelt down to wait. After a few minutes, a bunch of red dots appeared on my radar at about 90m. I targeted the center one and waited until they got about 70m away, then hit one of my toolbar quick-keys to queue up an attack. A second later they were in range...just in time to receive a 4700 damage rocket up their posteriors. I dropped over half the attacking force in one shot and only missed the others because they weren't close enough together.Soon after, I was gettin' tells saying, "**edit**, man! What the hell was that?!!!". It was just beautiful....
