Kriss Vector CRB Gen 3

The third generation of Kriss’ distinctively shaped Vector line was introduced earlier this year, with the company offering the platform in carbine (CRB), large-format pistol (SDP) and short-barreled rifle (SBR) formats, each available chambered in 9 mm Luger, .45 ACP and 10 mm Auto.

Still built using the recoil-cutting Super-V delayed-blowback action, the Gen 3 guns have nonetheless undergone a number of refinements.

The magazine-release button is now reversible, the left-side non-reciprocating charging handle has been shortened, the bolt lock has been re-shaped for easier activation, the stock now folds for more convenient transport,

M-Lok slots have been added to the barrel shroud for the simple integration of accessories and the trigger is greatly improved.

Suggested retail pricing is set at $1,749 (black), $1,999 (Woodland Delta camo). For more information, visit kriss-usa.com.
