There is a reason why there are AR-15 pattern pistols, and those will never be able to be held in a normal pistol pattern. Same with single-fire made, shortened PCC's like an MP9 (like I said, made to fire single fire only).
You might not like that some of those are considered pistols. Fine, but all of that relates to the definition of "pistol" in the US... which is what the NRA came up with in the first place. It used to be, back in the day, that you would never shoot a pistol with two hands. Competition pistol shooting used to be standing at attention, with your head turned to your right, with your left hand placed behind your back, and your right hand and arm fully extended out from your right side, to aim and fire the pistol. That is the stance the NRA was operating off of, and that was what they drafted into legistlation.
The AR "pistol" is just a retarded abortion created to get around nonsensical ATF fuckery. It's a rifle with the stock removed for no good fucking reason (typically to replace with the totally not a stock "wrist brace"), and a barrel too short to be useful.
