I like paired shots a lot, but is it worth the awkwardness of dual weapon reload? Would running reload be the better bet?
Id say with dual weapons you go for capacity weapons, so you can still use raconteurs reload. Either two Slide Pistols or a slide pistol and an air repater.
I think paired shots is strong and honestly the best way for pistolero. Otherwhise you might as well wield a twohanded weapon.
