The Kriss USA Vector CRB Gen 3 in 9mm is a compact, semi-automatic rifle built for shooters who value maneuverability without sacrificing firepower. With its 5.5-inch barrel and overall collapsed length of just over 15 inches, this Arctic Cerakote-finished platform delivers the agility of a modern sporting rifle in a footprint that's at home for home defense, tactical training, or precision shooting. The Gen 3 redesign refines ergonomics and handling compared to earlier generations, making it intuitive to run even under pressure.
Built on Kriss's proven delayed blowback operating system, the Vector CRB cycles 9mm with reliability and controllability. The 4140 chrome moly barrel features black nitride QPQ finish for durability, and its 1/2x28 right-hand threading opens options for muzzle devices. A single-stage pivoting trigger keeps trigger control simple and consistent. What really sets this platform apart is magazine compatibility: it runs full-size Glock magazines, so you can leverage the most widely available 9mm mags on the market. The included 40-round magazine gives you serious capacity out of the box, and you can mix and match with standard Glock options for training or duty use.
At 5.6 pounds, the Vector CRB balances weight and substance—light enough to move quickly, substantial enough to shoot smoothly. The Gen 3 upper and lower housings are redesigned for better hand support and leave room to customize furniture and accessories to match your setup. It ships with a cleaning kit and cable lock, everything you need to get running straight away.
