Steady Shot.

The joke is that there no Single Pistol powers beyond Steady Shot which is an Energy Builder, there was no animator when they revamped Munitions to make new powers

as for Device, only Gunslinger's Legacy (AoE as well)

Holdout shot only uses one pistol to shoot but unfortunately both pistols appear in the character's hands...

I was going to mention Sonic Blaster. You can make a decent build with that group of weapons based around Quantum Stabiliser, too.

I do hope they get around to doing a Future Weapons set at some point. It wouldn't be revolutionary in terms of gameplay but would open up lots of combination character options (laser sword/energy pistols, energy rifle/orbital cannon, maybe a PA/energy weapon hybrid) which would work great in the Champions setting.

I think there's about 5-6 single pistol attacks enemies and NPC's use that we don't have access to. Whenever I do a Burst alert I make a habit of watching the Argent soldiers to see their attack animations.

There's a single shot with both hands holding the pistol, a hip fire attack with multiple shots, an attack that is the same animation as Gunslinger's Legacy, one similar to GL but from a laser pistol with much less recoil, a charge single shot what appears to be the single pistol equivalent to Sniper Rifle, and also a single hand SMG blast typically used by Mechassassin and Black Talon. So that's six attacks that exist in the game that we don't have access to, if you don't count getting the Gunslinger's Legacy device.

Still got my fingers crossed that we will have single pistol powers someday, even if the devs went the easy route and just recycled existing animations instead of creating new unique ones i'd be happy with it.

As does Execution Shot but same thing; user holds two pistols instead of just one.

I totally over looked the sonic blaster powers, and I have a character built around using sonic boom generator. I suppose I assumed OP was talking about munitions only powers.
