I'm curios to see what will happen when dual wielding pistols goes live. That might even it up a bit. Also you could hit with two different damage types. I'm currently running up the rifleman tree but I'm waiting to see what happens later.

A helm or chest can have up to 45% stun resists and the jawa being ap1 will have that resist. If you have even 1% in your chest and you fire a GSB its going to block 51% of the damage. Ive been both and rifleman beats pistoleer in everyway. More accuratce, faster damage output, better specials and better weapons.
Sliced krayt GSB has over 500 max damage, even with stun armor it'll do jawa-level damage, plus it's much more accurate at close range.

in pve rifle > pistol
in PVP rifle cannot dabble in other professions effectively to increase the power of the rifle. pistoleers can dabble in smuggler and BH to increase their power. pistols can effectively dabble their defenses higher than rifle users can. rifles now have a hideous penalty when holding a rifle and being attacked by a melee profession.
so basically what others have said try both out and decide. neither are that hard to master.

Yes pistoleers can dabble, but why should we have to spend all but 13 skill points, to get near your power when you can spend 92 and pick up a profession like CM as well.

my template is mbh/master rifleman/novice smuggler on my alt, would it be better to make the switch to mbh/master pistoleer/something? Give me some reasons why the switch would help my jedi hunting and what i could use those extra sp for instead of novice smuggler if i made the switch or if i should keep rifles and put those smugg points maybe in pistoleer or something else?
