Ok, I know N. Jolly doesn't really cover 3rd party stuff in the guide so I hope I'm not intruding on this thread, and its technically not actually a Gunslinger build, but it seems like a good place to ask.
I came across the Black Powder Hood (henceforth referred to as BPH) archetype, and it seems pretty nice. Especially if you combine it with 3 levels of Trench Fighter (TF).
Seems like another valid way to get a 2-gun wielder up and running. I think TF 3/BPH x would be a pretty solid build, possibly even out-pistolero-ing the pistolero. You get DEX to damage as early as level 4 (you'd likely want to take BPH at lev 1 to get your guns, Gunsmithing, grit, etc), or level 5 if you go BPH2 then TF 3 which is probably better since BPH gives you Rapid Reload at level 2. You also pick up 2 bonus feats from the fighter levels, and by level 6 you've got Bullet Rend, which is sort of equivalent to Up Close and Deadly (better in some ways since it doesn't cost grit, but also with more limitations), and the ability to free-action holster your pistols. On top of that you start picking up some nice Slayer abilities and access to a few more Deeds.
Any thoughts or comments? Or pointers to a more appropriate place to discuss this?
