I'm bringing in a new character in my friends campaign. The setting is a bit unusual, we are using Advanced Firearms and Guns Everywhere availability which makes firearms pretty good. Also keep in mind that most enemies we face will be using firearms as well.
Marid Style was sort of a thematic choice, but I don't mind changing it. Also looking for things to take in the future. The idea is I can get my AC up to 26 if I spend a Ki point (and theres really not much else to spend Ki on, since I wont be using flurry of blows) and 28 vs firearm if I spend a grit to stack gunslinger dodge on top of that. If that fails I still have deflect arrows to dodge bullets with. My understanding is I can use my shotgun 2-handed and then switch to a 1-handed stance after I'm done firing as a free action so I still have a hand free for deflect arrows.
I don't have Rapid Reload... With Paper Cartridges and advanced firearms though, is it necessary?

You want gunslinger 5/ monk X. Dex to dmg is pretty sweet, and you get an unarmored boost as well.
I already have Dex to damage.
I mentioned we are in the "Guns Everywhere" availability. Gunslinger class loses gunsmithing and gains the gun training ability at first level.
I didn't think additional levels in gunslinger were worth it, but I would hear out anyone who thinks they can provide evidence to the contrary.
Durp! I even read that, and completely spaced! Carry on, looks good.

You could take a single dip into Crusader Cleric of Cixyron, then nab the Crusader's Flurry feat.
Flurry with a Musket.
If you go this route, I suggest Musket Master Gunslinger.
