I'm not sure what you're asking here. We're talking about a device attached to a common, quality military firearm.

There is a ban on importation of handguns that don't score high enough on a points list. If the device was considered a pistol the points list would be a factor for considration to import. There are also several states and municipalities that have statutes/ordinances that mirror them.

A pistol must score 75 points. Here’s the point system:

Characteristic........................................Points
Length: for each 1/4" over 6"...................1
Forged steel frame.................................15
Forged HTS alloy frame...........................20
Unloaded weight w/mag (per oz.)..............1
.22 short and .25 auto............................0
.22 LR and 7.65mm to .380 auto...............3
9mm parabellum and over........................10
Locked breech mechanism.......................5
Loaded chamber indicator........................5
Grip safety...........................................3
Magazine safety....................................5
Firing pin block or lock...........................10
External hammer...................................2
Double action......................................10
Drift adjustable target sight....................5
Click adjustable target sight...................10
Target grips.........................................5
Target trigger.......................................5

I suppose that would differentiate it from something like a .22lr conversion for a AR or AK but how would a striker fired pedersen be different from a striker fird .22 conversion for a glock or any other pistol?
