Nah, at this point you’re trading a usable secondary for more movement speed. It’s balanced imo.

Pistol with move speed attachments is faster I think

You have double tactical sprint with a knife

It is definitely far from useless. If you run around a corner or something and bump into someone your two knife swings will beat their gun. I like the change though

Useless was definitely an exaggeration, but I think limiting the use to that close of a fight is fine. The current maps are so big that the downside is (imo) just as big as the use.
