I have nothing against SR's. With the right crafting and a good slice (like yours) they can be easily as good as the Republic Blaster (no DoT of course but that's not a problem) and have light AP also. Another good thing is that their appearance is customizable on manufacture, meaning you can have a cool lucking gun. If you get one crafted with good resources, you're looking at an excellent weapon. Their speed lets them down a little though, but I'm sure that's solvable.
I had a WS friend make me a Krayt DL44 last night. Fully customized appearance with scope and barrel, max damage 214 and 1.9 speed, +71 at 8m. I love it 
Got a customized SR also, but it's a bit too slow, 230ish damage though

SR's are energy weapons and have Light AP. I like them, don't use them because I want one with a customized appearance.

I think people underestimate the pistol weapon range. I have a damage 165, speed 1.4 DL44 that's perfect for low- to mid-range lairs. Costs me about 14 Action to use, so it's great for laying down state change specials, espeically me being a master smuggler too. Last Ditch special does heck loads of damage, and with this pistol has a fast turn around time.

About what do you pay for these pistols? We're on different servers, but I'm new on the forums, and have stock pistols. So, wondering what I can expect for a good customized pistol.

Well, on Farstar we have at least one big name reliable weapons corporation. For DL44s I normally pay around 2-4k or so. SRs a bit more. I guess the specials, like Modded Republics are around 10-15k. I don't pay much more than that. Certainly won't pay millions for a gun, even a DE-10. Just not worth it.
To be honest, the custom specials I had made were free. I supplied some of the resources though, and gave the smith the remainder, plus crafters sometimes like challenges, and he was happy to do it, because it meant some creativity, and not the usual crates of T21s..

Yeah, about the same prices...the damage seems to be unreal for that price though. I think my most powerful pistol is my Republic Blaster. 2.7 speed, and 210 damage.
After that, my strongest is myFWG5 pistol, 171 damage,2.6 speed.
Are those pistols with slices, and powerups? Because, 214...that's pretty powerful. To me anyways

Just over the 200 damage mark is about normal for Farstar too. Sometimes you get a few rare ones that are higher due to better crafting and resources. I imagine SWG systems have caps on numbers. I'm sure they do to be honest
But yes, my weapons are always sliced. Don't really bother with pups though. As I've stated on other threads here, with the Last Ditch special on a KD pve opponent (stormies etc) I can push out a max of around 4300 damage with a Mod Republic blaster with a good damage slice (around max 265 say).

Unless you're capped on speed you need to have it made with pretty good krayt tissue to be effective...
I have a Rep. blaster made with +30 -0.3 tissue (worst you can get) and slicedplus amin/max pup it's already at 99-399 2.2
I do use a krayted Scout for PVE it's 1.5 speed and over 300 damage with pup

nice ones!
My krayt Geo is 1.8 161-474 w/pup
DX2 is 1.5 120-285 w/ pup
A while ago I had 2 DX2, 3 Rep. blaster 1DH17 and a scout made....all went well except on DX2 (max dam a bitr less) and the DH17 (good or marginal succes on exp)
I can't remember wit slice the other DX2 had, but I also have a speed sliced rep at 1.7 with almost 300 max damage (280-ish)
