I been looking at feats that can be used with firearms.
Here is what i found so far:
Point-Blank shot tree
Weapon focus
Weapon Specialization
Vital strike
Rapid Reload
Snap shot
Feats that I do know that cannot be used with firearms:
Deadly Aim
Focus Shot
Can anyone add to this list such as Archtypes and other feats I forgot to mention?
And because the wording sucks, Double Slice (which means your off-hand does more damage than your main hand, yay) and Two-Weapon Rend.
I'm pretty sure there are over a hundred feats that work with firearms, do you really expect us to list them all?
Most ranged combat feats work with firearms. Some work better than others because of Firearms ammunition and reloading mechanics.
Rapid Reload(revolver), Rapid Shot, and a BAB 16+ allows you to make 5 shots per turn.
Add a Second Revolver, Two-weapon Fighting, Improved Two-weapon Fighting, and Greater Two-weapon Fighting and you now can make 8 attacks per turn while duel wielding revolvers.

The problem is reloading the firearm with no free hands.
There are ways around it, but TWF with pistols is usually quite disruptive to tables and GMs so I would recommend that you actually don't do it.
There is quit a bit of grey area. Double Slice and Two weapon Rend dont state the only work on melee weapons, but Manyshot only works on Bows, so I edited that out.
As mentioned, TWFing with pistols is absolutely convoluted. It's either feat intensive: Weapon Focus > Dazzling Display > Gun Twirling, or cheese of the highest degree: Glove of Storing free action spamming.
Shadowshooting and Shadowcraft weapon enchantments are a valid option though, and while still cheesy, are definitely much less questionable as these weapons simply do not need to be reloaded at all, and can be fired continuously without end, or need for bullets.

You can get around the 'needing a hand to reload' with 2 levels of alchemist for a 3rd arm, or a level in witch to get prehensile hair
If you're willing to multiclass to do it, Juggler Bard is a very solid option for TWF firearms. You take 1 level of Mysterious Stranger Gunslinger for Cha to damage then proceed as a Bard. So long as you have a way to handle or prevent misfires you're golden.
