First time playing a class with a familiar but here's the lowdown.
I'm going to be playing a mobile, stealthy wyvaran ranged dps build
Lvl 1-5 going gunslinger Bolt Ace so specializing in crossbows.
Lvl 6-20 I was thinking of going Eldritch Guardian.
Now here's the kicker. I was thinking of gettin improved familiar when I could and getting a tiny dragon familiar (pending how my character plays either shadow drake, tidepool dragon, or faerie dragon).
The main question is this. Is it possible for one of these tiny dragons to wield a hand crossbow given they would share all my crossbow feats? I know there are familiars with hands but to keep with the dragon theme I wanted to check if I could do this.

At 2nd level, when the familiar can see and hear its master, it can use any combat feat possessed by the eldritch guardian. The familiar doesn't have to meet the feat's prerequisites, but at the GM's discretion may be precluded from using certain combat feats due to its physical form. For example, an eldritch guardian's pig familiar with access to Exotic Weapon Proficiency (spiked chain) would not gain the ability to use spiked chains, since it doesn't have any limbs capable of properly handling them.
Seems pretty clear to me. No harm in running it by your GM, but the default answer would be no. None of the familiars you mentioned have limbs capable of handling a crossbow.
