Yes, that's right!
I've just mastered Smuggler as I wanted to have a fun, roleplaying and profitable character as my Jedi's second-character and, even though I know that there are a lot of things to be fixed with the profession, I've found it a lot of fun so far and I'm combining it with Master Commando (my favourite hunting profession!) and Novice Medic.
Some of my observations are:
1. There are not many Master Smugglers are around and people are ALWAYS happy to see one to get some slices;
2. Buffs have reduced the point of spices significantly - when I first started out in Summer 2003 my first Muon Gold freaked me out for ages - now the impact of spices are negligible.
3. We should be able to slice more things and get more involved in the GCW.
4. We should probably get a nice smuggler only pistol with a nice DOT - we are dirty fighters after all!
So, I'm looking forward to seeing that comes for us in the forthcoming Combat Upgrade / Smuggler Revamp - and to be a member of the Smuggler community!

I wish we got a Smuggler-only pistol, with a DOT would totally rock! 
I also think we should be able to customize our pistol in both look and ability, like a Jedi can with their pistol. But I just have high hopes....

I don't agree so much with a Smuggler specific weapon. That's NOT what being a Smuggler is about. However, I do think it's pretty stupid that 2 of the better pistols you can use (after a DE-10) are a Geo and Mod Republic Blaster. Both of which are from the pre-quels. It just seems that maybe after 20 years there are better mass-produced pistols than what were used on 1 little backwater planet and..oh...1 little backwater planet also. Han used a Sliced DL-44, and Luke had (I think) 1 also (remember his gun in ESB), so that gun should really be the most common "Good" gun. Of course, the DE-10 is so cool-looking and powerful that it sits atop the throne properly as the Uber-Pistol. But, c'mon. A Geo? Come on, thats insulting, I don't want to be forced to use some over-grown bugs gun just so I can stun (which STs did with their standard issue Carbines, remember ANH)
Neway, end of my rant, I agree with most else that you said

Maybe you are right - so perhaps we should be able to do more than simple slices? Maybe we could add some DOTs or State Effects with some special weapon upgrade kits?
Who knows, I'm going to shut-up for now and read the FAQs and see what the future holds for us!

But there are Smuggler pistols in the Star Wars universe. I don't remember what it's called, though.
And besides... I don't want to have to take up Pistoleer just because I want to use something better then a DL44. BH, Commnado and the like professions all get their own special weapons. So why not Smuggler too?

I don't think we should have our own special weapon, I think we should be able to modify existing weapons to the point that only a smuggler can use it effectively! At master, we could get some kind of "super slice" that not only makes the weapon better, but changes the cert to smuggler.
wouldn't that be neat?
also! congrats on making master.
