I have a Dwarven Gunslinger(Musket Master) at level 8. My weapon is a simple +1 Musket, but thanks to a number of high-reward scenarios back-to-back I essentially have enough gold to make the musket a +3.
The problem is I don't know what to add to it.
I'm not planning on switching to a Double Musket, I just want to upgrade the musket I have.
I have only needed to increase my range a grand total of three times in my career, so I am not looking at Distant. I also haven't had any real issues with misfires, so Reliable is also out. And finally I really don't want to just put a base elemental effect on it (Fiery, Frost, etc.)
I have four Grit points, and my feats are Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, and Cluster Shot.
Things I've been looking at include Holy, Lucky, Seeking, or just making it a +3 so I can ignore Silver and Cold Iron.

I also am getting a bonus feat at level 8. It must be a combat feat, but I am not really sure what to take. My current plan is Weapon Focus so maybe I could take Snap Shot next level, but I've only been threatened in melee a few times with this character. To be honest though, I've been thinking about Steel Soul for level 9, so I am more than willing to think about alternate combat feats.
Reliable and Seeking are always nice traits to put on any Firearm. After having watched our party's Musket Master misfire 3 rounds in a row, I've sort of fallen in love with it. And as for the justification for Seeking, well, you can probably consult any number of ranged-based character guides for that one :)
I'd honestly suggest Critical Focus. The big thing about the Gunslinger is not just having Grit, but also being able to gain it back. You get the 19-20 as a Full-Round Action from Targeting, and making sure that you confirm on the critical roll is, for lack of a better word, critical.
Just my two cents though...

I don't qualify for Critical Focus this level, though it is certainly a good idea for next level.
And as a Dwarf I've already reduced my misfire chance by one. To just a 1 with a regular black powder and 1-2 for a paper cartridge. Reliable is still on the table, its just not my first choice.
