The Kriss Vector CRB Gen 3 in 45 ACP is a purpose-built pistol caliber carbine engineered for shooters who want accurate, controllable fire in a compact platform. Built on the Kriss delayed blowback operating system, the Vector CRB pairs a 16-inch rifle-length barrel with a fully ambidextrous controls layout, making it equally at home in the hands of right- or left-handed competitors and recreational shooters. The Gen 3 redesign tightens the upper and lower housings for improved durability while keeping the ergonomics and modularity that made the Vector a favorite in PCC divisions.

What sets the Vector CRB apart is its practical blend of features: it runs Glock-pattern magazines (30-round capacity included), so users already familiar with Glock platforms have zero learning curve. The ambidextrous safety, magazine release, and telescoping folding stock mean you're never fumbling for controls, whether you're standing, kneeling, or shooting from a bench. The M-LOK shroud gives you clean attachment points for lights, cameras, or accessories without rail clutter, while the full-length Picatinny top rail handles optics and magnified sights without compromise.

The trigger is tuned for precision—a skeletonized single-stage with minimal pre-travel that breaks clean. At 7.7 pounds and collapsible to 34.9 inches, the Vector CRB stays nimble during competitions or range sessions. The 4-pin tool-less takedown means you can detail-strip it in the field without gunsmithing. It's a serious carbine that doesn't take itself too seriously—built to work hard and shoot straight, whether you're zeroing optics, running a PCC match, or just enjoying a day downrange.
