My understanding is that swordguns never caught on because they were notoriously unreliable, both as swords and as guns. Rifles with bayonets, sure - they were rifles, AND they were spears. Sometimes clubs and knives, too. But swords with attached pistols were too flimsy, badly weighted, and prone to jams, to be anything other than an Early Modern wallhangar.
Besides, with a pistol, it's easy enough to just carry one with you. If a fight breaks out, take your sword in one hand, pistol in the other, hey presto you've got the best of both worlds. After you take a shot with your pistol (which is probably going to work, because it's a pistol and not a swordgun), you can put it away or throw it on the ground, and for the remainder of the fight your sword isn't compromised at all (because it's a sword, not a swordgun).
