Ok, Well here were my thoughts on dual wield pistols also..
I like the idea of using two different types of pistols, but I was also considering that perhaps Master Weaponsmith's would have to actually craft dual pistols.. only craftable as a piar, so that would mean the pistoleer could not use them separately.. the weapon pic would be two pistols side by side... Also, perhaps the way damage should be measured IF we are allowed to use two diff weapons would be to take the damage of both, do the average and multiply 1.5... speed should not really be an issue, because with a speed cap your still going to shoot at a min 1 sec. Also if they do the first, craftable pair.. means anyone can use it like other weapons except you are just worthless with it.
Also this would be a cool idea... dual target.. not multi target but dual target.. thus,
while shooting the first target, you target a second target and hit the command and you begin to shoot the second target with your 2nd pistol.. but no specials on the second pistol while doing this. might be hard to code, but did the whole arcade thing, with two machine guns, and if I am shooting the 1 target it dies quickly and I really dont miss... but when I target 2 targets I cannot focus on one really, thus causing a damage reduction and accuracy reduction.. this is logical and makes sense, hopefully it will be considered. while shooting the 1 target though, should be an accuracy adjust ment and damage boost..

When they do put dual wield in game it will probably be so cookie cutter like some of the other stuff in the game it will be damn near worthless lol. I guess I'm the only person thinking like this but if a Master Pistoleer is wielding 2 pistols in combat then he must be a bad MOFO and I expect him to dish out some ass whoopings. I mean you're not a MASTER Pistoleer for nothing. I say nay to dmg and accuracy reductions!
Look at all the characters in movies, tv shows, cartoons, video games who used 2 pistols...what did they all have in common? They were all bad ass with em, now it's our turn.

So equipping a second pistol would put a Bad Arse flag on the pistoleer and he would then be ultimate killer on the field 
The movies aside there should be definite benefits to dual wielding..and, of course, penalties.

Yes! Equipping a second pistol should notify everybody that you are not to be messed with. I wouldlike tosee the ability to wield dual pistols made worthwhile and satisfying. I don't want to see a bunch of novice pistoleers wielding or a bunch of people dabbling in our already dabbled to death profession.
