Anyway, I think dual pistols should really be dual [hand-held, pistol-like weapon]. The thing people like about dual pistols is that it looks cool and is kind of badass to use because people do it in movies. Well, if that's the cool part, why strain yourself trying to figure out how to shoe-horn dual pistols into a game with shotguns, SMGs, carbines/rifles already? There wouldn't be any serious place for dual pistols competing with those weapons, so forget doing it and try a new angle instead.

So, take the dual-wielding concept and think of a new sort of weapon that it would be applied to. Something that captures the cool parts of dual pistols, but allows the setup to actually fill a niche in gameplay rather than pointlessly compete with SMGs or shotguns. The options are endless. Something like the bio gun, or flak gun from UT, something like the rocklet launcher from PS1, etc etc.
