pistoleer
Skilled handgun user
A pistoleer is someone skilled with pistols, especially a gunfighter or soldier armed primarily with handguns.
The word has an old-fashioned, romantic flavor, evoking dueling gentlemen or Wild West gunslingers rather than modern shooters: The pistoleer drew and fired before his opponent cleared leather.
