Depending on the pistol, the task varies slightly, but in general, you need to get 3 kills in 5 rounds with the desired weapon each time. For this, you may need to use different perks. You can find the exact tasks for each pistol in the Gunsmith.
If you have completed the task, you can equip the perk and play the respective pistol in Akimbo mode.
