Kriss Vector CRB Gen2 45 ACP Carbine KV45CBL20

The Kriss Vector CRB Gen2: Precision Meets Innovation

The Kriss Vector CRB Gen2 represents a thoughtful evolution in pistol caliber carbine design. Chambered in 45 ACP, this 16-inch carbine delivers the stopping power of a full-size pistol round with the control and accuracy of a rifle platform.

Superior Recoil Management

At the core of the Vector CRB lies the patented Super V Recoil Mitigation System—a nonlinear, multilink blowback mechanism engineered to redirect recoil energy downward rather than backward. Combined with the inherently low bore axis of the platform, this system dramatically reduces felt recoil and muzzle climb, allowing faster target reacquisition and improved shot placement.

Practical Design for Competition and Recreation

• Magazine Compatibility: Feeds full-size Glock magazines, providing access to a wide range of large-capacity options
• Ergonomic Controls: Ambidextrous short-throw safety lever and smooth pivoting trigger with audible and tactile reset
• Modular Construction: Toolless caliber interchangeability and 4-pin disassembly for field maintenance
• Accessory Ready: Full-length MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny top rail and bottom rail accommodate optics, lights, and other tactical accessories

Whether you're competing in pistol caliber carbine divisions or enjoying recreational shooting, the Vector CRB Gen2 combines reliability, shootability, and innovation in a platform that rewards precision and control.
