Depends on the instance, gun gives great hand, sword give greater damage.

Curved hands allow for easier grip. It is not an uncommon style, it is used with such things as fencer swords. I have used curved hand swords, they reduce stress on the lower part of you hand allowing for easier handling, though it aids more in a thrust motion, which is more effective in fencer.
