I'm assuming this thing is also a revolver, based on the cylinder and the trigger shown.

Disregarding the melee form for a moment, I do have a few questions. First, the cylinder location is a tad questionable. I can kind of see the cylinder working as a sort of palm swell (that swell typically seen in the middle of a knife handle) to help give a more comfortable feel in the hand, but if it's changeable, you may not want your user to be holding the weapon with that in the middle of the hand because 1) It's hard to remove the cylinder for a reload while holding the weapon for melee attacks and 2) as the explosions happen that fire the rounds, that cylinder may heat up. I'm no gun expert, so I could be wrong, but that seems like an issue.

Second, do those barrels collapse? Telescoping barrels mean a lot of energy is lost as gasses leak out the openings left.

Third, I assume the black parts are the barrels? If so, why are they ovals?
