It's the difference between things like this and wild shape - the wild shape/stat increase thing is debatable, but you can make a pretty convincing argument that it shouldn't be allowed RaI because there's so much text the designers could easily have let it slip through without noticing it, hence no clarification. Seriously, it's like the quarterstaff/polearm master thing - one of the obvious uses is shield/quarterstaff, it's obvious they meant for it to be allowed because they could have easily banned it and they didn't. If it's obvious as hell it can be used a certain way and the designers don't disallow it, you can do it. It says you need a one handed weapon, a hand crossbow is a one handed weapon, the instant I read the feat I assumed the two ways of using it would be rapier in one hand crossbow in the other or shield/empty hand crossbow in the other. And reading the feat in context instead of reading individual sentences within the feat makes that perfecly clear.Then they should have put that in there. This has been argued to death, and the designers confirmed that a single hand crossbow was not intended to proc its own bonus action attack.
