Am I wrong or is that NOT a pistol? The pics I've seen of these braces do not look like they are for use on...what I would consider...a pistol.

This and other pics I've seen look like they are for use on semi-auto personal defense weapons...like the HK-P90 and others.
When I see "pistol" I think Beretta 92FS or a Glock 17 or a S&W 1911.

You are not wrong.
I am merely uneducated pertaining to pistol braces.
I know nothing about them. Call me Sgt Schultz.

According to BATF rules, it is a pistol, barrel is less than 16 inches. They ruled in past that a brace was not a stock. A stock on a weapon with a barrel less than 16 inches is an SBR (Short Barreled Rifle, needs a $200 tax stamp and special license)

ATF is trying to change an established rule they made themselves, to create a new group of Class III weapons

Most of the ones MSM show are AR-15 type pistols.
It can be confusing because we're dealing with government definitions.
Here's a Glock 17 with pistol brace:

The claim is that the wrist brace rather than a stock makes it a pistol rather than a short barreled rifle. Yet I’ve never seen anyone at the range use the wrist brace as anything thing other than a stock by placing it against the shoulder. It may happen but I’ve never seen it. We need to just get rid of the restrictions on short barreled rifles rather than having to rely on these fictitious work arounds.
