I vaguely remember some rules on mixed close combat weapons (sadly I can't give a page reference). The example was a model armed with a Power weapon and a Power Fist. If the user chooses to strike with the power weapon, he gains +1 attack from the Power Fist as it's a close combat weapon and power weapons make no such exception to this rule. If however he strikes with the power fist, he gains the double strength bonus, but not +1 Attack, as the rules for power fists state that you can only gain +1 attack from another power fist.
To answer your question, you could strike using the pistol (counting it as a close combat weapon) and gain +1 attack, but you would do so with none of the Power Klaw's perks.
I know the wording of "A normal and a special weapon" sounds like it specifically countermands this, but that could be the wording taken too literally, considering this little shoutbox seemed to specifically address that issue.
