Great class I really like the idea and have been wanting to make a gunsliger specfic class. I have two question to start with why the full progrestion Reflex save and Why such a board range of skills?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it, the reflex plays on how quick and agile a Hollywood gunslinger is, I also tried to base it off the ranger class in a way (health, saves, skills) Look up ranger and you will see how similar everything is.
what are you playing; six guns and sorcery? I have been working on a wand slinger class; a guy who can get more out of wands than the usual poge.

I went nuts on a double wand wielder on one of these threads (probably archived by now). What I found was that the build - while cool, was under powered at low levels (need to pick up sub optimal required feats). Was exception from around 9th-12th level but then began to really taper off (4th level spells just don't cut it any more).
