What is spinning your weapon useful for?

At first I thought it was some sort of a quick melee move, but some weapons don't even deal damage when spinning them... so maybe it is intended for something else?

You can test this very easily by standing near a wall and checking for a hit decal. However they deal extremely minimal damage, and is mostly there just to look cool.

I like it. To me, it adds a little levity or humor to the carnage.

I like to beat some enemies up with dual pistols.

And an achievement. It can stagger certain enemy types as well.
