I have to agree with a lot of what you say, i'm a master pistoleer/smug pistol 4/ bh 3,0,4,0 zero skill points left i have a 200-495 puped geo, 90/40 comp armor and i still get owned in pvp vs rifle men. At master we both can spam specials at on second. Theirs just hit harder a geo has no ap, a t-21 rifle has heavy i loose .25 dam they gain .50. we both ca target mind pools me with eye shot them with head3. Head 3 does a whole lot more damage then eye shot. How is any of this fair

I have mastered every melee profession as well as rifleman twice. Got bored so I figured I would try Pistoleer.
First off. What in the hell, what in the name of sweet feathery Jesus light - is up with requiring novice Commando to obtain the launcher pistol cert ??? Commando gives you ZERO pistol skill mods ! A Commando without pistoleer would make the Launcher pistol useless. So why not throw the cert in with pistoleer ?? Its not a buff, its common sense.
Pistol Speed. Master rifle gives you +90 speed mod, and yet master pistoleer ONLY gives a pitifull +74 speed mod ! What in the hell is up with that ?? Since when can a sniper rifle fire faster then a handgun ??? Currently Rifleman is the one cert kill all profession while pistoleer is just " ok ". I feel in the star wars universe carrying a nice concealed pistol should be more of an option then lugging arround an 8 foot long T-21 while walking among Storm Troopers....
Pistol Damage. Technically, the same powerplants used in most carbines and rifles and also used in pistols. Pistols just have shorter barrels and are for short range. However in this game, the damage of most pistols is HUNDREDS of points less then most carbines and rifles. So pistoleer gets it at both ends. Low damage weapons AND an embarassing +74 speed mod at MASTER !!
Skill points. It occurs to me the only way to become really deadly in pistols is to get three or four Bounty Hunter pistol boxes to get your speed up to 100+, and some smuggler for the good specials. Thats great and all, but after that you barely have any skill points left anything else. And you STILL wont be as good as a master rifleman. And OH by the way, that Master rifleman has plenty of points left for Medic, TK meditation, AND fencer defense !!!
I am enjoying Pistols, but sadly with all the things we have to put up with, I keep asking myself why , OH WHY, did I drop rifleman...

You forgot armor piercing 1. That's one of the not so obvious killer in PvE. Makes pistoleer worthless in high end content.
(edit) forget the "end" and I doubt the content is high lol
