While Startling Shot and Covering shot are interesting mechanics, they seem to run counter to most of the games other mechanics. I'm not going to suggest any fixes (at least not until I've given it more thought), but it seems that a class with a high BAB, and presumably an above average Dex modifier wouldn't really be missing all that often, making these Deeds kind of meaningless (although they would take the edge off a really bad roll).
Also a selection of deeds to choose from, rather than standard automatic Deeds would be (IMO) better simply for versatility of character development. Otherwise every gunslinger would be shockingly similar to every other gunslinger, which would make any PC feel a little bit less special. Perhaps just giving a bonus Deed feat in their place and turning all automatic deeds into Deed feats instead.
