You can, but that brings up the question of why it is you're not using it in situations where it would be useful. This is a subject close to my heart, as given my choice of everything Rhio would be wielding a gun or dual-wielding swords. Or both. But those aren't in the game, so explanations have to exist for why she doesn't use these things.
Generally, I think that guns are rare in Eorzea simply because the society as a whole does not have the ability to maintain them. Firearms are complicated devices, and even if you have one somehow, without the ability to get ammunition or powder it's not terribly useful. And short of the Barracudas, there's really no place which sells or maintains the weapons, leading you to a pistol that would have a very limited supply of ammunition (if any) and a distinct lack of options if it gets dirty or jammed or otherwise damaged.
It certainly makes sense for your character to have a pistol, but it seems like something he'd be disinclined to fire.
