So, I'm not the best at this ... and I'm sure this character can be improved ... but I made him for myself and I think he's pretty cool.  He might give you an idea of where to go/how to build.

Note that for a 'traditional' gunslinger Nimble Fingers and Quick Draw are pretty cool adept powers.

What do they do? I only have the 5e players handbook.

Nevermind then.

They let you do some actions as free actions, but its not a huge deal

Okay, let me lay this out for you. First Aid is very pointless the way you're doing it. You have invested significant build resources to have 6 and a specialty. You still throw less dice than a Rating 6 medkit, because your LOG sucks. I suggest you abandon this notion and just buy the medkit and let it go. Those points are better spent somewhere else in all likelihood (Gymnastics comes to mind), or downgrading skills and upgrading Attributes.

Same with Negotiation 6 + specialty and CHA 2. You're not a face with a negotiation pool of 10. Not at all. Nobody but a face is really ever going to need Negotiation. Con, yes, of course. Negotiation, no. I suggest swapping Skills with Attributes. You'll be able to hard cap AGI, soft cap INT, and buy more BOD and REA at the very least.

EDIT: just realized those are suggested builds and not the OP's build but the points still stand.

Buying a medpack. I'M BUYING A MEDPACK T-T

Alright I've looked all over the freaking book what does AP mean? In regard to weapons?

[Whiskeyjack]

Armor penetration or armor piercing. As in, "if hit by this effect, your target's armor is treated as X less, where X is the weapon's AP."

Should have known. Thank you. Know any campaigns I can jump into when I finish my sheet?

Did you take Skills A?  I see 10 skill group points.

I'd highly recommend upping your nuyen and taking some cyber (no more than a point though).  Smartlink+datajack is well worth it for pistol adept, and you can pick up agility boosting bioware relatively cheap, and a skillsoft will also give a cheap boost.  Its not too had to grab some very nice cyber while keeping your essence loss to 1 or under.

You can optimize your stats a little more (logic isn't necessary, for example), but its not a huge deal.

I noticed elemental weapon - did you get street grimorie?  If so take a look at nimble fingers and quick draw.  It gives you boosts to palming (quickly drawing your weapons) and other such fun tricks - very nice for a pistol oriented character.

Since you've got clubs skill I'd consider grabbing a stun baton or similar.  You'll actually be able to use it well and a backup weapon is always good to have.

What gun(s) are you going to use?  Whatever it is make sure it comes with a smartlink or you buy one. 

You may want to consider the palming skill; for smaller guns (like machine pistols) it can be useful.

Yeah priority a. I had 5000 nuyen to work with and I needed a ride. And I dont have street grimore. Guy who made the char for me had it though. Get rid of the bike?

Personally I'd drop priority A skills and up your nuyen.  If you had Run Faster you could do sum to 10 (essentially you get to mix and match priorities a bit more), but ah well.  Skills A is good (in terms of the karma value you get), but its not as useful for the concept as some decent cyberware, in my opinion.

If you don't have street grimoire then drop the ability - its no good if you don't have the details on what it goes.
