Yes, I've used the search button, google and have checked Paizo's official FAQ for Ultimate Combat.

When I read through the Gunslinger Archetypes, I found it interesting that more or less, they all dabbled around in adding/subtracting/delaying 'deeds' without actually over/under-powering each archetype.

I also noticed that each added something extra to each type. The Mysterious stranger got to switch which stat affected the class abilities. The Musketeer got a free feat (Rapid Shot), pretty nice. I also found that the Pistolero was given an ability that didn't replace Gun Training, allowing them to double up their Dex to damage.

When I went online to read about the class, I noticed many were homebrowing to ix-nay stackability under the assumption that because one of the archetypes replaced Gun Training, that this ability was 'meant' to replace it as well.

I have searched after this to find an official change. None of the websites have done so, and the official FAQ to the book itself mentions some other class clean-ups, but the Pistolero is left unchanged. I am curious as to whether or not the choice to ix-nay it is if it truly was meant to replace it (that I have found no evidence of) or that they just think there's really no reason they should get to double Dex.

I don't understand this though, even if we assume there should be an errata, then the Pistolero is no different than the regular Gunslinger... in-fact, they'd be weaker than the other archetypes, where one is able to switch the main stat, while the other gains a very critical feat for free...

Is my google-fu failing me? Can anyone show me some kind of official response, errata or FAQ that can clean this up for me?

In house-ruling Pistol Training, I simply don't see what the archetype does to entice someone by limiting their choices (forcing them to take a pistol, and limiting their proficiency) and to delay a useful ability like Deadeye until 7th level. Any help would be appreciated.
