xbow 100%
I would, if you do not mind, elaborate a little on this. As Stabby_Dave suggests, the best to be used as a sidearm for melee char is Xbow, especially for the fact you do not need any stats invested to be effective with it. So you do not have to "gimp" your char melee capability.
For throwing and bows, you would need skill investment aswell as WPF. Even tho, if you want to play a melee mostly with sidearm ranged, go for xbow, BUT if you want to be both good in melee/ranged, make a hybrid that can use both bow and melee.
I was experimenting with a 18/18 build with 6 PS, PD, ATH, WM and 5 IF, somewhat accurate archer with bow who hits hard when he has to melee. Good for random battles actually, having loads of fun when i play. Shooting people and when they close in, just smash them with that 0slot hammer
To sum it up: if you wanna do mostly melee and an ocassional shot once in a while, go for xbow (without WPF is best to shoot in short-mid range, as the accuracy can be a bitch for long distance), otherwise i suggest you make some hybrid, which are not that popular, but still blast to play
