Yes, the B&T GHM9 can classify as a pistol depending on its configuration. The GHM9 is a modular firearm that can be configured as either a pistol or a short-barreled rifle (SBR). When it is sold without a stock or with a pistol brace, it is classified as a pistol under U.S. regulations. However, if a stock is attached, it would then be classified as an SBR and would require compliance with the National Firearms Act (NFA)
The GHM9 is designed with a compact barrel (ranging from 4.5 inches to 6.9 inches in pistol configurations) and features ambidextrous controls, making it suitable for use as a pistol for dynamic shooting, home defense, or recreational purposes. Its modularity allows users to switch between configurations, but the classification depends on the specific setup at the time of use or sale.
