As an old timer pistoleer/bh, I always thought it was the most fun profession combo, and now that I can do it again but add a little more, I am on my way back. Unfortunately, in the time since my last foray into pistols, I went melee and found myself an unstoppable PVE force, and none too shabby in PVP as well. So here is what I need to know from my fellow pistoleers.
Along with the usual bh0040/m. pistoleer combo, would I be better off with just novice commando and smuggler 0040, as seems to be fairly standard, or would it be worth it for big game hunting to give up the FD and take the flame line from commando to get the higher DOT burn. I am picturing that, along with the torsoshot burn, and the healthshots as being a pretty nice tick. But, I lose a ranged KD, a powerful pistol shot(last ditch), and FD, for those tight situations. So friends, I need your advice. smuggler 0040, or commando 0040? Thanks for all your opinions.

i would say go 0040 smuggler, because KD is great in all situations, and FD is a nice extra to have along.
With 0040 commando you would have to switch to flamer, then back to DE10 or geo to dot the enemy with the flamer, and with the new weapon switching in combat system where it slightly delays your action, your sacrificing quite a few attacks there, the DOT may make up for this, but i wouldnt risk it.
Thats just my look into it 
Good luck,

Yup, basically any templete that involves switching is a bad idea now. Also, for PvE it's speed that's important and you should be able to take most things down fast enough that the difference in DoTs won't factor in too much.
I'd go with Dirty 4 and Nov Commando simply beacuse you can stick to your DE-10 or Geo and not even worry about weapon switching.

Ive just become master pistoleer and have been desperado for a while. I dont know a lot about commando as ive never tried it. but i do know something, Pistoleer sucks at PvE no matter what you substitute it with.
Thats why i got master pistoleer and dropped it in the same day, to get rifleman.
So if you want to go soloing Krayt and GDKs and NSs, then dont go pistoleer.
But if your adament on pistoleer and want to be good in PvE, then yeh flamethrower line of commando is a good bet, although if you visit the commando boards the general concensus around there is Rifleman is THE ranged proffesion to be for PvE.

Bah! Im tkm/pistols/smug... intimidate, stack a few bleeds with a modified rep blaster (basically 3 bleeds per PISTOL), then tank with tkm hit3. When bleeds end, wash/rinse/repeat. Took meabout 10min to kill a GDK and like 30-40 to kill a krayt (used some health-fire dot pistols on the krayt).
