No, the Journeyman Knack is more powerful than the Apprentice Knack of
Aldana, but has a similar nature.  I wouldn't want to overpower it.  Having
it at Journeyman is fine.

This sounds reasonable to me, though I worry about requiring a pistol in the
hand to do it, since typically a fighter would discard the pistol after its
fired.

And this.  I would also recommend changing the second skill from Commander
to Pistol or Dirty Fighting and make this a Pirate Nations style, since it
really doesn't seem to go with Eisen, and the saber seems to be a piratical
weapon (but maybe this is just me)
