A weapon of escalation.
If your punch doesn't work, stab them, and if that doesn't work just shoot them.

Now someone just needs to Photoshop a rifle scope to that bad boy.

For anyone else wondering about the orientation of the gun and knife:
"The revolver also has a design constraint when opening the barrel: by default the barrel points back toward the knuckles of the user. Thus, the user has to remove the knuckles, rotate the gun to point forward to the target, and then shoot. Certain defense scenarios might not accord the liberty of time to perform such an involved maneuver."
"As a criminal, I'd like some brass knuckles, a knife, and a gun, so I can use the appropriate amount of force in any situation."
"Well, do I have news for you!"
"Okay, but what if the situation escalates?"
"Then you should have planned better."
