In your opinion, which makes for a better pirate character: Gunslinger or Swashbuckler? Discuss.

Me, I'm not sure. I'm stuck between a switch-hitting Buccaneer Gunslinger or a Picaroon Swashbuckler. I'll probably play the latter if I ever decide to be a pirate, since I've already got a pure-ranged Pistolero build bouncing around (and don't want to play two gunslingers in quick succession), but either one seems like it would work well.

From a historical standpoint? The Swashbuckler, because Pistols were very much NOT "free action reload" back then. Having Sword skills was MUCH more handy.

Fond as I am of swashbucklers, I'd go with the Swashbuckler. Go all Errol flynn on your opponents.
If you just want a pirate - someone who steals from people on the ocean - choose whatever.
