Just get a DX2 pistol... =)
Or goto coronet and get some Sharrif missions. They are non-aggro and give about the same amount of XP as mereks.

For experience, it's all about the mission objectives. Get a good mount and hit as many under 3k missions as you can stand before you fall asleep. I try to keep mine under 1k away from the mission terminal. It's not the creatures that give the experience, it's hammering those stupid hives, generators, etc... that dish out the exp points pretty fast if your running solo.
Use disarming shot on lairs. Otherwise it's a fairly useless special compared to the other ones.

Two things I have to say about this....
First, yeah use disarming shot against lairs. But I also keep around a Scout Blaster for the single purpose of destroying lairs. Rather than beat up on one of my good pistols, I just use the same Scout for all lairs.
Second, while I don't think disarming shot is the best special attack, I do find it to be great against NPC's (I haven't tried it against players). It doesn't work right every time, but when it does it's like a free period for you to just beat on your enemy. It's also really funny to watch NPC's put their blaster away for a couple rounds and stand there holding their fists up ready to brawl hehe
I only wish you could use it to make melee combatants put their weapon away, such as making a Tusken Raider put his Gaffi Stick away. Maybe it does work and I've just had bad luck with it
But besides againstNPC's, disarming shot is kinda useless. Does it work on players? I haven't tried it....
which is better? i heard stopping shot is powerfull but doesnt it cost a lot?
Ok from my standpoint I rank the specials like this:
1) Fan Shot
2) Stopping Shot
3) Body Shot X
4) Body Shot X
Where the first Body Shot is III if and only if I am using a top of the line 1.0 speed pistol.
If anything else, then BS II is better.
Stopping shot does more bang for the buck, but is slower.
