Yeah I think Gin might've started good but he might've lost it along the way and is who he is now. But I'm not too sure about Matsumoto killing him as like you said it'd be like Hisagi and Tousen, while that turn in events worked out really well at that point in the story I don't think Matsumoto dealing with Gin in the same way would work as well as it'd be like she's copying Hisagi's way of dealing with it.

Plus Tousen was Hisagi's role model of sorts while we know (or at least suspect) that Gin and Matsumoto are more then that. Killing Gin off doesn't sound like the right way to handle it.
