Mysterious Stranger worth using in my PFS build?

[Dendromecion]

how hard does mysterious stranger suck?
i'm building a gunslinger for PFS and dipping 2 levels of juggler (bard) so i can TWF with pistols, and also thinking i might dip a level of swashbuckler later on so i can go sword + pistol if i want to. i'm also planning on making him an intimidate build, and with all this in mind i was going to go mysterious stranger for the cha based grit, but it looks like it sucks preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty hard. you lose the fix-your-gun deed, which i'd use a lot firing 2 pistols every turn with cartridges, and you also lose the +dex to damage at lvl 5 which seems like a huge blow.
should i stick with the normal gunslinger (or maybe go pistolero?) and just try to finagle a cha of 12-14? i'm still relatively new to PF and completely new to gunslingers, so any advice welcome
thanks! :)

How re you firing more than one pistol per round? Reloading requires 2 hands and even with Quick Draw you are going to be wracking up Free Actions.
One of the big Draw backs to Mysterious Stranger is that without the focus on Wis, your Will Save is going to be vulnerable. if you can get 2 levels of Paladin in there, it may be viable.
If you structured the build in the right way you could take a Paladin level first (suggest Dviine Hunter archetype) and the Amateur Gunslinger Feat, taking Quick Clear as your Deed. And when you then take your Gunslinger levels you can choose to keep the Deed you have.

2 levels in juggler means you count as having a free hand when you're holding 2 light or 1 handed weapons

I'm unsure if this is allowed in PFS, but have you looked at this feat?

Gun Twirling.

Pathfinder rewards specialization over variation. Pick a main focus for your build and stick with it. If you're interested in the sword and gun approach: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-

unfortunately gun twirling comes at the end of a pretty long feat chain to get the actual effect you need to make TWF work with pistols. the juggler archetype is PFS legal, and i've not read anything that wouldn't allow what i'm trying to do.
picaroon looks good, and up until now i thought all the firearm based archetypes weren't PFS legal but according to AoN this one, at least, is! more to think about, thanks :)

It is a very, very long chain. It get's shorter if you take the Maverick Archetype, as it grants Dazzling Display as a bonus feat.
Stacks with Pistlero as well. Another possibility is two levels of Alchemist for the Vestigial Arm discovery.

Reread the Juggler's abilities. Whenever you take damage while juggling, you chance dropping all but one item. Seems risky to me.

A two level dip for Vestigial Arm gives more bang for the buck. It also opens up the option later on to spend a feat for an extra discovery and taking a second vestigial arm that can hold a shield while dual wielding pistols.
