I have neither, but I've had to master all weaponry forms in order to get Master Marksman to progress to BH... Personally, i'd go with Riflemen out of the two... Better chance at dropping the mob before it even gets near you. With pistols, you've got to let the mob get up close for it to be an effective range.

Pistols are decent enough, but theres very little incentive to master the Pistoleer tree. The only specials you'll end up using anyway are "Fan Shot" and "Stopping Shot", and of course the bleeds (Health Shot 2).
You would be as competent as a Master Pistoleer pretty much simply by raising two of the trees (0-0-4-4).

Pistoleer is the most fun i have had since starting this game.
Alot of the specials do not work as intended but being able to dish out moderate amounts of damage per second makes up for broken skills.
They recently changed the profession bonus a bit, made dodge work and moved a few of the +defence vs KD / dizzy ect to different tree's.
pistolwhip is the coolest special in the game. Sticks way more than other class's KD. Pistolwhip 2 is supposed to dizzy or stun as well as KD as well, but its broken.
So far i have whipped a Canyon Krayt dragon, Anchient enraged bull rancor (from the cave
), dune kimo's and lots and lots of Force Crystal hunters

Hmm, not really since the pistol accuracy mods are in the second from left tree, you will miss a lot without them, trust me.
As for advantages of going master, well theres a really big speed mod bonus at master and you will end up with a dodge of nearly 100 or so, which comes from the first tree from left and master bonus.
Master pistol and dirtyfighting 4 from smuggler is the way to go

rifleman:
the amount of mind damage you can dish out with a t21 is really good. ( also for pvp, even though the class could use a bit more)
At the moment i can dish out on mobs 4k mind bleeds total ( ok its a T21 rifle with 700 max damage with powerup, at 7.6 speed) but at master you still shoot fairly fast. and headshots i do for about 2k-3.5k. really nice damage in my opinion. and all ofcourse with heavy army penetration.
You do a whole lot less in pvp. but you certainly can place at least 1k mind bleed or do near 1k damage with the head shots for sure.on a stat that cant be healed.. in combination with other classes a nice welcome to any pvp team and besides as rifleman you get at a certain point, area stun shots and area dizzy shots.. those can be really cool when there is a gang of mobs/enemys about
if you go pistoleer i sugges you take some other tree out of the smuggler tree and/ or take the BH pistol spec. Eye shot ( blinds target and can make dizzy) is a really good move from BH pistol spec, and the lowblow ( can KD) and delay shot (gives a 10sec or so delay on next attack for the enemy)from smuggler pistol spec are the moves that you really want as pistoleer.
personally im master rifleman with my gorath char.
and my chimeara char is at this point 0 0 4 0 in BH and 4 0 4 0 in pistol spec. eye shot + all the pistol accuracy and speed mods from bountyhunter spec. and some defensive skills( dodge), + defense mods and fan shot from pistol spec.
maybe one day ill take smuggler tree too. but at the moment its just to twinky and to powerfull to have all that..
I both like those chars, what they can and what they do. So i just suggest to focus what idea you like best..

Pistol stacks nicely with Fencer.
Add a bit Dirty Fighting and you got yourself a nice FOTM PvP char.

just got fan shot and have to say its the best special i have used
hitting mobs of 5 or 6 for 600-2000 dmg per 1.5 second
it tends to get me into alot more trouble with stray shots hitting mobs in the distance but a quick pistol whip and my run away like a girl tactic works well
