Wouldn't it make more sense to suggest the knife options for Katana or Broadsword with some alternate animations added in?|

As for "Single Pistol"... /unsigned. i think that's just too silly. =-3

The problem with making one handed versions of those is that the base weapons in question are both two-handed weapons. If you attempt to "shrink" them into smaller versions, you would need entirely new animations to make them look right.|

The problem with simply providing an "empty hand" option for Dual Blades and Dual Pistols is the same: you would need new animations. How are you going to explain your single pistol user's apparent need to shake his fist at his targets, or the fact that your empty hand is still somehow emitting projectiles and spent rounds even though there isn't a gun in that hand. In order to make a single pistol a viable option, the devs would need to create entirely new animations that make sense for having only a single pistol (and, as BAB has told us, you don't get to have both weapon customization and power customization so it's not possible to do that without some codescrewery).

Shucks.
because I prefer cool and efficient single pistol style gunfighters to the gun-fu types (though that is amusing too)
two weapons is not instantly better
though I have also asked about an assault-style set (the dominator mix of melee and ranged) with knife and gun attacks

Really, Assault Rifle is the single handed version of Dual Pistols, and Broadsword/Katana the single handed version of Dual Blades. Or at least if not "single handed", more "single weapon".
I would think we now need "Dual Clubs" and "Dual Axes", rather than more single weapon sets.
(Plus, there's always the famous "Dual Archery" 
)

I am hoping alternate animations gives us less "flashy" gunplay animations, albeit still with two pistols. |

Thugs Masterminds don't fling their guns around gun-fu style. (Although they could...)
Thug Masterminds pay other people dollars to fling around pistols.
Single pistol won't happen as a set. There's more important things to animate in the game, and more demanded things even in this set, namely, less ostentatious powers. Single blade exists in two different flavours and why don't you know this argh.
If you specifically want one pistol and the emote-style knife, buy the temps.
Empty hand option.
If you have one hand empty, you can't take the other hand empty...
