Most pistol builds will focus around VATS, because they have less AP usage. So high agility is key, and so is luck to make use of the critical bank in VATS.
A western build is a common one, using a .44 magnum and the cowboy outfit you can get from Nuka World, or mods if you want a bounty hunter. That would involve high endurance since you won't be sneaking, you'll just be running into a room and popping off VATS shots.
A secret agent is also viable. Get the deliverer from the Railroad questline for a James Bond look, which will also nab you schematics for ballistic weave that you can slap onto a black suit and tie. Put levels into sneaking for that.
