This is silly.
People do train for close quarters combat with handguns.
There's less of a need for it because - unlike a sword - you don't have to be within grappling distance to effectively use a gun.
The military doesn't have swords anymore because guns have evolved to the point that you don't need one. Soldiers don't generally ride horses anymore either.
Swords are undeniably cool, and make for a pretty fun hobby, but that's about it.
All of the contrived sceneries where a sword is somehow better involve a swordsman sneaking up on the gunman and getting their weapon into play first. You could make all the same arguments for a cue ball in a tube sock.
