in RL nobody uses dual pistols except in movies cause it'll get you killed. Maybe for animation but not for getting more firepower least not without disadvantages, high HAM cost, lot lower accuracy etc
in RL nobody has blaster pistols or Force affinity.
Actually, either with firing two pistols or wielding two swords/daggers, there just isn't a problem : using your off-hand (left usually) to do something does not make your right hand perform any differently, its just that usually people suck at doing things with their off-hand and therefore dont bother - believe me, I've fenced both with one blade and two, and the second only adds, it doesnt make your main hand slower/less effective at all (and I'm pretty bad with my left hand).
Why not addoff-hand pistol wielding to one of the skill branches, i.e Grips, with (+xx) to off-hand accuracy/speed at each level, resulting in say 80% of what you would have with your main hand at Master Pistoleer. Leave everything else as it is, normal special moves only fire with your right hand, add one or two (Douple Tap, Fan Shot lend themselves) which would utilise both pistols upon use. Either have Rate of Fire indepentant for each hand (probably hard to do), or make both pistols fire at the same time with speed determined by (off-hand speed + main hand speed)/2.
To finish,

Especially if Fencers also get the ability to dual wield. After all, they also use onehanded weapons.

Though I doubt it would happen, unless they nerf each weapon's damage output. Would be worth it for the look though, as long as we dont do worse damage than we do now.

It would be cool if they gave a dual pistol diving shot like in those cheezy action movies.
Like Star Wars?
Not that there is that particular action shot in the SW movies...but some of the action stuff more than qualifies as cheesy.
