I am buying a sub-2000 here in michigan. The state's laws require them to be registered with a pistol purchase permit, this is the reason why I want the gun, to use it as a truck gun under my CPL.
My question is, can I mount a forward vertical grip on the sub-2000 without being in violation of federal law? I know you cannot legally mount a forward vertical grip on a pistol under federal law, but is the sub-2000 considered a pistol under federal law?
Here is the excerpt from the michigan state police website explaining why the sub-2000 must be registered.

3. Do rifles or shotguns with collapsible/folding stocks have to be registered in Michigan?
MCL 750.222 Yes, provided the rifle or shotgun is 30 inches or less in overall length with the stock collapsed/folded but at least 26 inches and the barrel length is at least 16 inches and 18 inches respectively. Attorney General's opinion #6280: if the firearm is less than 26 inches in overall length or the barrel is less than 16 or 18 inches respectively, the firearm is considered a short-barreled rifle or shotgun and is illegal to possess. MCL 750.224d There is an exception for short-barreled shotguns and short-barreled rifles which the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has found to be a curio, relic, antique, museum piece, or collector's item not likely to be used as a weapon.
The possessor must comply with Section 2 (License to Purchase) and Section 9 (Safety Inspection Certificate/registration) of Act 372.
