tl;dr you should probably use the blunderbuss because it has better utility, more consistent parrying, and better stagger. this means not only is it easier to parry, but even if you mess up the timing it will be likely to stun the enemy and stop them from hitting you.

all that being said, you might still feel more comfortable using the pistol because you don't have to learn how to use it, you just have to press L1 on reaction time. you'll miss a lot more parries, and you lose out on the utility of the blunderbuss (for stuff like dealing with dogs or enemy hunter NPCs), but this won't matter as much to a novice who isn't using their gun correctly anyway.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
