/Sounds like "pees" (as in "pea") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "roh" (as in "row")/
A bold, quick-acting person who moves and decides fast while everyone else is still figuring out what to do. In Mexican slang, a "pistolero" does not overthink it: they just go. The word borrows the gunslinger image of someone who shoots first and asks questions later.
“That bold guy signed the contract without reading it once.”
“He went full cowboy and took on everyone by himself without asking for help.”
