I skipped reading the comments, I had a 1h song bow and a 1h song blade if I remember correctly in 4e. For my halfling bard, 1h crossbows is a easy duel wield weapon. Especially if you dabble in rogue and need a wp. to sneak attack.

Now in 5e, I don't know if the features to duel wield is the same. Mixing melee and ranged.

Edit* also, pretty sure there are less restrictions from 1h crossbow vs say heavy when reloading and equipping. Plus there is a repeater hand coss bow...pretty sure it's called reapter (holds more than one bolt in a cartridge).
