nope, only Army of the Dead does.  there's only one pistol master, Gun Kata.  I forget if it works properly on a single pistol, but as it does block SoB you probably wouldn't bother.

on knockback- won't an Eagle Eye or two mean that your 2nd shot often hits the guy you knocked back?

It depends on the path of the bullet. Knockback appears to result from a calculated direction relative to the player, which is not necessarily where the bullet will go next. Sometimes you're shooting diagonally (mostly) and the bullet has a pattern kind of like this:


--- Code: ---@X.....
..XX...
....XO.
.......
--- End code ---
(O here is the target.) My guess is that the knockback would cause an enemy to move down-right, but the actual path of the bullet then follows like so:

--- Code: ---@\.....
..-\...
....--\
......O
--- End code ---
(The O is probably where the target would go if it were knocked back.) I'm not exactly sure about this, but I know for a fact that enemies can be pushed out of the bullet path through knockback. This is most noticeable in AoMC runs if you buff your plasma rifle enough, and also why experienced players should aim for straight shots (no diagonals) if they have to work with knockback multi-shots.
