Default Bolter-Needle Pistol Question

Okay, if I give my Terminator Inquisitor Lord (Wait till you see the conversion, its sick! Still WIP though) a Bolter-Needle Pistol. Can I use that in CC to gain an extra attack more than once, or shoot it and still use it in CC?

To be totally honest I don't think I'm understanding what you're asking. Anywho here's my take on the question from the few angles I can approach it.

Do you mean a combi bolter/needler ? If so I think it's still considered a 2 handed weapon, however if you mean a bolt pistol and a needle pistol (not sure if that's even legal I'd have the check) then I would assume they would function as a pair of one handed weapons for CC purposes. Another option would be a bolter, needle pistol, then slap on a CCW...

The Bolter-Needle Pistol always counts as 2-handed in close combat, even if you use it as the "Pistol" in the shooting phase. Any potential loophole is even closed in the description - "... may choose which of the weapons he is going to use in the shooting phase." Therefore you will never get an extra attack by wielding it, even with Terminator Armour.
