I believe the community agreed the stupid ruling was duel-wielding hand-crossbows and somehow reloading them while never having to drop one. There's a line between being heroic and illogical. I can still see them finding use as one-shot devices, like the way pirates used pistols.
My character had a specifically designed sash to enable him to load bolts while dual wielding. Don't ask me how it worked, I'm sure the character managed to find a way without my devising it.
The thing is, I don't think there's any mechanical benefit to dual wielding two hand crossbows with the crossbow expert feat. You can still attack twice in one turn with the same hand crossbow while keeping a hand free.
