Quick Warhammer 40K Question

[Destro_Yersul]

Yes, you can. However, there is little point to doing so other than appearance, as an infantry model may only fire one weapon per shooting phase. Pistols do count as an extra close combat weapon, so you'd still get an extra attack for it in close combat. Gunslinger models look very cool though, and sergeants get a bolt pistol and close combat weapon free anyways, so I say go nuts.

Oh, and to ^: Pistols and such are Weapons. Wargear is a different category. So what you said is indeed true for Wargear, but not for Weapons, of which a pistol is one. Therefore, you can legally have two bolt pistols.
