I believe that this would require a tax stamp to be legal. What you are creating is pretty much an SBR.
Pretty sure putting KPOS kit on your handgun makes it an SBR. And you’ll need a tax stamp for it.
Gun porn is no good without pictures.
That would come under the “manufacturing” label and require an FFL as well as a tax stamp.
Looks like a KPOS is nothing more than a carbine conversion kit for a pistol. Similar to http://www.mechtechsys.com except the KPOS looks like it turns a decent pistol into a hovered up toy. I don’t see how this falls under NFA.
From what people and the manufacturer seem to be saying, there is one version with a stock which is an SBR and one version (the “pathfinder”) with an AR pistol style padded buffer tube that they are claiming is just a pistol. They even warn you not to put a fore grip on it. I’d want to see a letter from the BATFE though. For $600 I’d just build an AR pistol anyway.
Free people should never have to ask questions like this.
A pistol with a foregrip is an NFA weapon, as is a pistol with a designed shoulder stock. Accordingly, I think you would have to Form 1 a KAPOS conversion kit, pay your $200, get fingerprinted and local LEO sign-off (or register it to a trust), etc.
I haven’t looked closely into this.
If I wanted a 5.7 “no really it’s not an SBR” pistol I’d probably get one of these:

Cheaper if you don’t already have an FN 5.7 and you get to use the big P90 magazines.
My only question is what sane person would ever do such a thing? It is nothing more than a vain attempt to make a Glock look "tacti-cool."
The MSRP of $600 would be much more effectively utilized to:
1.) Buy a second Glock ("Two is one and one is none). or
2.) Buy a well made AKM
Not many things in the world more personal than one's choice of a firearm. Choose your own, within what the law allows, but with all respect... I hope you're not making a choice based on something you saw in a movie?
If you don't have any firearms right now and you're in the market for a personal weapon, (no better time to start than right now), I'd suggest a plain ol' fighting shotgun. Plenty of them out there with lots of bang for the buck...
If you need something concealable, a good serviceable handgun... make, model, and caliber of your own choosing, of course.
Whatever you choose, don't break or bend the law.
Awesome looking toy.
But I prefer the natural pistol’s configuration for conceal-ability.
Oh dear Lord. Another Bond movie, another stupid gun.
I doubt they could sell it if not legal. Just can’t put a shoulder stock on it or it magically becomes an SBR. May not be legal in Nanny States.
Interesting choice. May I ask how you came to it?
