The Kriss USA Vector CRB Gen 3 in 10mm is a purpose-built pistol-caliber carbine that bridges the gap between recreational shooting and competitive play. Built on a closed-bolt delayed blowback system, this 16-inch rifle delivers the handling characteristics shooters expect from the Vector platform while maintaining full compliance for unrestricted ownership. The Gen 3 upper and lower are completely redesigned, offering modern ergonomics and a level of customization that lets you build the carbine to match your shooting style—whether you're punching paper at the range, running competitive PCC stages, or simply enjoying the smooth operation of a premium 10mm platform.
What sets the Vector CRB apart is its thoughtful design language. The refreshed barrel shroud incorporates integrated M-LOK mounting points, so adding optics, lights, or other modern accessories is straightforward. The ambidextrous telescopic folding stock adapts to your reach and storage needs without tools. The trigger—a pivoting single-stage design—breaks cleanly and predictably. And if you're already invested in Glock-pattern magazines, you're in luck: the Vector accepts full-size Glock mags, eliminating the need to build a separate ammunition system or learn new manual-of-arms.
At 7.7 pounds with a 34.9-inch collapsed length, the CRB is nimble enough for indoor ranges and practical enough for field use. The Arctic Delta Cerakote finish over a 4140 chrome-moly barrel with black-nitride protection is built to shrug off hard use. Included in the box are one 10-round magazine, cleaning kit, cable lock, and manual—everything needed to get running immediately.
