The Kriss Vector CRB G2 in .45 ACP is a semi-automatic pistol caliber carbine built for shooters who want the handling of a rifle with the familiar controls and magazine compatibility of a handgun. With a 16-inch barrel and adjustable stock, it's equally at home on the competition line or at the range, and it's legal to own in most states. The Vector CRB's delayed-blowback action and quick-reset trigger give you reliable, controllable fire in a platform that doesn't demand a steep learning curve if you already run .45 ACP handguns.
What makes the Vector CRB stand out in the pistol caliber carbine space is its use of full-size Glock magazines—that means you can tap into a huge aftermarket for magazine capacity, and you likely already have compatible mags in your kit. The gun ships with one 30-round magazine, so you're ready to load up straight out of the box. The MC Alpine Camo finish is durable Cerakote, and the 4140 chrome-moly barrel is treated with black nitride for corrosion resistance. The low-profile flip sights get you on target without adding bulk, and the six-position collapsible stock adjusts to fit your frame and shooting style.
This is a genuine working tool: 8 pounds of controlled recoil, 1:10 right-hand twist, and a trigger designed for the two-stage reset you expect from a quality carbine. Whether you're sighting it in at 25 yards or pushing shots downrange, the Vector CRB delivers the ergonomics of a modern rifle in a caliber that won't break your shoulder or your budget.
