I'd suggest looking at the Lutana and JIP NVSE plugins here on the Nexus if you haven't already. I'm not into scripting, but they might have some functions that could help you out.
As a resource, you might have some luck expanding on the Joshua Graham weapons from Honest Hearts DLC.
It would be a step back, as it's equipping two separate forms. You wouldn't be able to switch between bashing and firing at the end of each animation, it would instead be the same as equipping a new weapon (just like you would when changing from any ranged to any melee weapon), then firing etc.
nice mod. works well. do you have any plans to make a rifle bashing mod? that would be great. maybe bayonets also?
I have a theoretical concept for rifle bashing but it involves a completely different mechanism (this mods method won't work) and it also requires a new, original animation.
ive been wanting a mod like this for a wile now. works great. endorsed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bld0BN0KtQ&feature=youtu.be 1st person demonstration
Very cool idea, i'd love to see this continue to grow.

You could probably make a version of every vanilla pistol in the same position as his pistol is (simple mesh edit) and then have your code/hotkeys swap those.
