I spent some of my time as a master swordsman master smuggler 0444 pistoleer. If you want you can pick up 3 lines of any other combat proffesion. My advice though is that if your gonna stay all about the pistols pick up master marksman and then novice commando for the launcher pistol (blast damage) and having master marksman will grant you some more pistol mods (+10 pistol Accuray and +5 speed). You can go 0030 Commando and be able to use the flamethrower if you like.
If you don't want to go that route and your a pistoleer I would just go medic. Get the ranged support line so that you would be 0404 marksman, master smugler, master pistoleer, 4340 medic. You can use stim D's with great efficiency and believe in combat you will need them. Much better than going CH in my opinion.
Lastly you need to get melee I think. I used to be a master pistoleer and I dropped it completely. The only pistoleers that are worth a crap, and this is only in PvP, are Master Pistoleers with the BH pistols line. That geno stun pistol with eye shot and some +dodge food owns. I went master swordsman and then I never looked back. If you want to be **edit** diesel in PvE and Good in PvP I would drop pistoleer completely, pick up teras kasi master, 4400 fencer (for the defenses), and 1000 medic. That would put you in a pretty situation in all circumstances escpecially after the armor nerf that is going to happen.
As it sits now Pistols do the least damage per second yeah we target the Health pool which normally has the highest stats of all the pools and can be healed 1500+ per stim. You need to be able to target the mind.

My personal choice (and obvious one) is pistoleer/smuggler/tka. They get both ranged and melee damage mitigation, nice offensive powers, and some great defensive skills (such def vs. kd +70 without ithorian mist).
I liked pistoleer the first time I had it when I dropped most of it to master BH. My alt is already a TKA and I like that profession as well. Since I can hardly find a master smuggler on my server let alone one I trust, it kind of decided for me what my next long term template will be.

I love the Triple Master combo (almost there!). I may end up going down to Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer/TKA (4004), but that's good too. With that TKA you get Meditate to heal wounds. Yeah, having a bit of Medic would do that, but not freely away from Medical Centers, and the defenses from that last line of TKA skills is a big help. Plus, you can do some good in melee, just in case.
Pvt makes some good points if you're looking at PvP, but one thing to remember, no matter how far off it may be, is the Combat Rebalance. This will change combat as we know it and many of the best templates and tactics will become less effective. You also have to consider your primary focus, PvE or PvP. Mine is mainly PvE, but I'd like to be able to at least put up a fight if I got caught in a PvP situation.
In the end, I say do what seems most fun to you. You can always drop skills and go another route if it doesn't work out.
