It's a centralized component that is the actual weapon. The grips, barrels, magazines, etc... are going to allow the customer to "build" his own custom pistol from the various components.
Want to have a gun that can be both fullsize and compact? Sure thing. Just pop the mechanism out of one and put it into the other.
It is genius.

The modular design in itself makes it a very good design. However, a much more important benefit to this design (intended or not) is that people who are not permitted to bring guns into their office building, for example, can now simply pop the serialized frame into their pocket and leave the other parts in their car - without having to worry about losing their CCW in the event that they have a gun stolen from their car. This frame is very easy to conceal and not readily regocnizeable as a firearm to the average person.
Parts are just parts, the frame is the regulated item.
