Another possible problem with dual wielding a longsword and a pistol to Extra Attack with both is that it may require a free hand to reload aummunition depending on type.
This answer in the sage advice compendium says that the two weapon fighting bonus doesn't apply if you use two or more weapons as part of extra attack reinforcing the fact that you can use two or more weapons when using extra attack.
To clarify, it says that the rules and requirements of the two weapon fighting bonus action attack don't apply to attacks made via extra attack.
If you make an attack with 2 weapons via extra attack and 1 or both of those attacks meat the requirements for the 2WFBA, you can still make a BA attack using any weapon that qualifies (that is to say, was in your hand while attacking with the other hand).
I now that. But I can live with that. The important thing is that the weapon can be used for specific maneuvers of Battlemaster. 30 feats to Disarm (90 when I get Sharpshooter like a feat).
One thing I want to add is that if you use Extra Attack to attack once with your katana and one with your pistol the pistol attack will probably have disadvantage.
When an enemy is within 5ft of you all ranged attacks are made with disadvantage.
