Kriss Vector CRB G3 .45 ACP 10+1 16" Carbine Alpine

The Kriss Vector CRB Gen 3 combines innovative ergonomics with proven recoil mitigation technology in a compact, mission-ready platform. Built on decades of unconventional design philosophy, this .45 ACP carbine delivers controllable performance in a 16-inch configuration optimized for both duty and defensive applications. The patented lower-bore-axis design and Super V recoil mitigation system work together to minimize muzzle rise and recoil impulse, keeping rounds on target even under sustained fire.

This Gen 3 iteration refines what made the Vector platform distinctive. Kriss prioritized ergonomic improvements that matter in the field: enhanced controls, refined furniture, and a platform that feels naturally balanced. The Alpine finish provides corrosion resistance in varied conditions while maintaining a professional appearance. With a 10+1 capacity in .45 ACP, the Vector CRB delivers stopping potential with manageable recoil for precision follow-up shots.

Reliability, Ergonomics, and Control

Small-profile design that cycles smoothly under load, with controls positioned for both right and left-handed operators. The compact 16-inch barrel makes this carbine ideal for confined spaces and vehicle operations while maintaining effective terminal performance.

Recoil Mitigation and Bore Axis

The patented Super V system absorbs and redirects recoil energy vertically, keeping the bore axis below typical shooter hand position. This translates to reduced climb, faster sight picture recovery, and less fatigue over extended training or duty use.

Caliber and Capacity

.45 ACP chambering pairs raw stopping potential with moderate recoil in a carbine platform. The 10+1 configuration balances magazine change frequency with operational capability.

Finish and Durability

Alpine finish protects against corrosion while maintaining low visibility. Constructed to withstand field conditions, this carbine delivers service-grade durability expected from Kriss engineering.
