Well, I have been a Master Pistoleer more or less since the start of my toon not too long ago. I went bh 0040 then Master Pistols. i enjoyed pistols until I came across 2 things.
1) High end mobs. These were downright impossible to kill, my weapons +stopping shot =+-1000 damage. Say Light AP against Heavy AR =250 damage add in 80% resists = 50 damage done
. The only really damage i did was using TorsoShot. Therefore i moved to Commando. I have to say I enjoy commando much more. The damage output is much higher, the DoT much stronger and overall a much better PvE template. I have kept Master Pistoleer for a while now but it is time to drop it. I have reached a point where i can be outdamaged by nearly anyone in my guild. Even if they are not master profs and have worse weapons. Pistoleer in my view is borked
2) The DE-10. I at first thought wow a DE-10, looks cool has nice damage. So i went to the DWB, nada for a few buff sessions, my friend goes gets a barrel/schem, i spend the next 2 weeks spamming, trade forums looking for krayt tissue. I get some 48 damage BPH krayt tissue from a WS get my DE-10 made. TBH i wasnt impressed. It was worth a few mil so i decided to auction it. The speed slice made it more of a nice Rep Blaster than anything.
So I just feel that i can't keep pistoleer anymore. I know a few others may feel that i shouldnt post this, i just felt i had to give my views on a Profession I would have liked to keep but a profession borked so out of proportion compared to others(rifleman/swords/TK) that it was just not worth it I hope the CB (If it ever comes) will fix this and i can return to being a pistoleer one day. (side note: how come we only get +79 speed at master and rifles get +90??)

We've got some neat defenses and can vary what kind of damage we want to to alot but I agree, we are underpowered, our specials broken, we need the BH-line for speed to be able to wield insane omg wft lol!!11-krayt weapons with damage slices etc etc.
Still I've been a MP for one year and will never drop it. Pistols are just to cool! 
I would be a very sad twi'lek if the combat revamp didn't help us though...

There will be at least 6 of us, if not more fighting to make sure the combat balance makes Pistoleers just as essential for high end combat as any other ranged prof.

i am not very far in pistoleer, i am 1-1-3-1 and most people kick my but although quenkers are easy npcs on dant are not
stoping shot kicks butt but i do not have fan shot yet i heard it rules
the only defence i use is pistol whip 1 it knocks things down but i do not shoot at them on the ground
geo blasters kick @$$ but have stun dmg so cannot kill lairs that sucks

well to be honest for one on one its hard to compete... but i can win at least 50% against melee... but its in group pvp that i shine... granted it costs gobs of millions to be an affective pistoleer... it is still possible... i mean i have spent 60+mil on counting just on new guns and AAs and CAs and thats the only reason i am as strong as i am and not because of the template... so invest the money (which equals time) and you too can become good

Yep, group pvp is the thing for Pistoleers. With very high dodge and ranged defenses we can stand back and pin point mind very good, there are good stun weapons, some with nice dots and we even have a fire state shot in TorsoShot. I usually try to stay at the back defending the docs.
Doesn't need to be that expensive either but I tend to get carried away and bid on the uberstuff anyway.

I decided its easier and more effective to go Commando since I PvE alot more than PvP.
Ill be back with the Combat REvamp
