I really, really hate all the blasters from TFA. The white on the ST, using modern guns like Glocks as bases...ugh. (I hated the PT blasters too...hard to please I guess).
Poe's is definitely a sig, looks like the 226 to me grips too long looking for the 229/228. The muzzle kind of looks like an ar flash hider reversed

Maybe they went with the white paint scheme so licensed replica props couild be sold overseas easier. Less chance of something from the new movies being considered a "replica firearm."
I agree with you concerning the choice of using a Glock as a base for a SW prop. That is LAZY. They should have used a tricked-out Rexm Favor.(sp?)
Definitely looks close to several Glock conversion kits for sure, but no cigar.
The optic (or whatever it is) is mounted over the ejection port.
I think the shrouds for all the blasters were made in house.
I respectfully disagree. This conversion kit has pretty much all of the main detail points seen with the reference we have. I do believe that they used this as the BASE and modified it, but the overall body and forward section is identical to what we have seen
Yeah, with further comparison, it is ABSURDLY close!
Same case as the ATI stock for the E-11:
Copy the design and make modifications to suit the suit the actual prop.

They definitely modified the top. Is this a CNC'ed kit, or can the rails be removed?
Edit- Doing some snooping around google iamges, it looks like the rails on the KPOS are milled into the design of the kit. I don't think their removable.
Using the piece from the Finn Elite figure. Note the grip, trigger guard shape, mag release lever, and selector switch:

H&K G26C (replica pictured). Im not a gun expert so I am not sure if it is another variant of the G26C or not.

Well, Han has his ANH DL-44 (or, at least, a close analogue), so it is technically an Episode VII blaster.
