My GM's are starting up a new Pure Steam based campaign set in North America during the Gold Rush era. I am playing a Ranger, and I am working on making an archetype for using guns and wanted to see what people thought about it, or if they had any suggestions.

Have Gun:
At 1st level, the Gunner gains the Amateur Gunslinger feat and Gunsmithing as bonus feats. She also gains a battered gun identical to the one gained by the Gunslinger.
This ability replaces Wild Empathy

Will Travel:
Starting at 4th lvl, and every 3 lvls after, the Gunner can select one Deed from the Gunslinger deeds list. The Gunner must meet the level requirement for deeds selected.
This ability replaces Spells

Natural Grit:
Starting at 11th lvl, the Gunner gains a pool of Grit equal to their Wisdom Modifier per day + the number of deeds she has. She can regain her grit as normal, but it can not exceed this maximum.
This ability replaces Quarry and Improved Quarry.

sounds like your trying to make a Dune Drifter variant.

Getting the "Natural Grit" so late in the game may hinder the idea more than you think.

Trophy Hunter might be the archetype you're looking for.

No, the thing I am specifically going for is having a gun to start with, and having grit points.

I put Natural Grit in the same spot as "Holy Grit" from the Holy Gun archetype. That's why I placed it there, and before that point I would have 4 deeds and 1 point, so I would have to tactically think about what I want to do.

Given the setting, shouldn't be easy to get a firearm at low levels?
