it’s true, Out of Pocket is a bad replacement. getting rid of the Emperor’s Bullet too sucks, I liked the few gun-centric talents on Zealot, and she’s still got Anoint in Blood so it’s not like FS wants it gone completely.
I wish they would make Out of Pocket more of a mix between the current and Sainted Gunslinger to something like: “Melee Weakpoint and Backstab Kills refill 1 round of Missing Ammo from your Reserve and increase Reload Speed by 5% when swapping to your Ranged Weapon. Stacks 3 times.”
That way 1. its effectiveness is increased in general with the reload speed increase, 2. its effectiveness is more increased on specialized smaller mag weapons like shotguns, bolt pistol, revolver, etc 3. it isn’t encroaching on Veteran Weapon Specialist in terms of effectiveness.

Just give them a ranged spec like psyker got a melee spec. Doesn’t have to be a full path.
A talent to (strongly) reward weaving gun bashes with shots (almost all zealot guns have a bash special). Gun fu/gun kata/John Wick inspiration; everything is a melee weapon if a zealot is holding it.
A deep talent to improve ammo sustain. Maybe buff pickups or give ammo on melee kills if below 20% reserve. VT2 Bounty Hunter or Cawdor scavvy inspo.
All I wanted from the zealot tree rework was for martyrdom to become more accepted, stealth to be less antisocial and for gunzealot to be something worth trying. Two out of three so far

Zealots have an incredibly strong ammo sustain tool: throwing knives. And I agree with a strong gun bash skill this would open a lot of builds. Strong enough to kill elite enemies with bashes, so something along the lines of 100% more damage for bashes.
Or something like can opener, acces to Rending or brittle.
