In all likelihood the latter.
Powerset respecs are unlikely to come with the new sets.

Cat beat me to it, but yeah. You will most likely have to re-roll that toon

i couldn't find anything about pistols comming in i16. i think you are talking about dual pistols power set comming out in going rogue which is not i16. and you would have to re-roll that toon.

Dual Pistols will be available in GR but only for certain sets and we've still been told (though I don't know whether it's true) that they'll "never" be available for heroes. Now... not sure. I thought there was a redname post somewhere about that.
And yeah, as for powerset respecs? Not seeing it happening ever.

That's kinda what I figured, sigh, well at least he is still under level 20 so thats a good thing. Just gonna have to power level him when I re-create. Thanks all for your input 
Why not just enjoy the character from the start? 
You can have more than one, so... I've had to remake certain ones but I've done them on different servers so I actually have the "single katana" versus "dual blades" versions, that kinda thing.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. The only thing I remember about limitations of Dual Pistols was pretty much nothing. Posi stated somewhere that Corruptors would be getting it first, but I don't recall it being a Villain exclusive. If it is intended to be Villain-exclusive, that's a horrendous decision.

It will probably be for Corruptors, Blasters and Defenders.
They may give it to corruptors first and proliferate the other two shortly afterward, but it would really make more sense to just give it to everyone who is getting it all at once.
They also haven't explicitly stated that those are the only sets we're getting with Going Rogue. Those are just the only ones they've said anything about.
Taking into account that Going Rogue is going to be a paid expansion, I would almost expect every AT to get a new powerset.
So far we know about 2. Whether or not there will be any others is open to speculation.

Given that Maelstrom is stated as a Blaster using Dual Pistols, I really doubt it's gonna be villain-exclusive. I have no idea where you heard that.

Zek, the quote was from Posi if I remember correctly back about two years ago. It was similar to this. "Scrappers will never get dual pistols." I remember it being Scrappers as an AT because that was the archetype that I was mostly playing at the time.

A statement like that was indeed made by Positron ("With that said, I have become the messenger for "there will never be a Pistol Scrapper". There really isn't much to discuss at this juncture."), and it was to me in a PM in May of 2006. Note, however, that it was made when Cryptic was still in control of CoH, and it was paired with the statement "I am even in favor of it" in response to a query about Pistol Scrappers, but the idea had been shot down (no pun intended) by someone else who is no longer associated with CoH. And before anyone else starts bashing me for having a "Statesman grudge", that person was not Jack Emmert, but I'm not going to name the person because I told Positron I wouldn't. I won't narrow it down any further than that.|

That doesn't mean, however, that he hasn't changed his mind on it, or been shot down again by someone else. I'm going to assume that this is the case (that we'll still never see them), since Pistol Scrappers have not ever been hinted at with GR. I'd love to see a mostly-melee-range pistol set designed like Spines or Claws, but I'm done pushing for it.

As far as I figure when I16 comes out, pistols will be available to other toons besides MMs. My question is this: Will I just be able to switch to pistols at Facemaker, or will I have to respec the toon, or (please no) re-create him and start all over from scratch?
