The Kriss USA Vector CRB Gen 3 in .45 ACP is a purpose-built pistol caliber carbine designed for shooters who want the ballistics and capacity of a rifle platform in a caliber they already know. With its 16-inch barrel and semi-automatic delayed blowback action, this is the most practical entry point into the Vector lineup for recreational shooting, competition in PCC divisions, and general-purpose use. The Woodland finish and compact collapsed length make it equally at home on the range or in a truck.
Kriss redesigned the Gen 3 from the ground up with shootability and modularity in mind. The new upper and lower housings work together with an interchangeable pistol grip system and ambidextrous controls—mag release, safety lever, and bolt release all fall within easy reach whether you're left- or right-handed. The ambidextrous folding stock adjusts to your length of pull and collapses down to 34.9 inches, making it genuinely compact without sacrificing cheek weld or control.
Magazine feeding is straightforward: the Vector CRB runs standard full-size Glock-style magazines, so if you own a Glock in .45, you already have compatible mags in your safe. The barrel shroud features M-LOK slots for mounting lights, lasers, or other accessories, and a full-length Picatinny rail on top gives you unlimited optic choices. The skeletonized trigger breaks clean with minimal pre-travel, and the short charging handle includes a brass check function so you can verify a round in the chamber without fumbling.
Build quality is solid: the barrel is 4140 chrome moly with a Black Nitride finish, threaded .578x28 RH if you want to suppress it later, and the whole package weighs just 7.7 pounds. Field stripping is simple—four pins and the upper comes apart from the lower, no tools required.

The Vector CRB is fed by standard Glock-style full-size magazines. One 10-round magazine is included with the carbine, and any compatible Glock magazine in .45 ACP will work in the Vector's ambidextrous magazine well.
Yes. The ambidextrous controls include a mag release and safety lever that function equally well for both right- and left-handed shooters. The ambidextrous folding stock also adapts to either shoulder. Charging handle operation, however, should be confirmed for your dominant hand preference.
The barrel is threaded .578x28 RH, which is the standard .45 ACP suppressor thread pitch. A compatible suppressor can be mounted, though you should verify any local and state laws regarding suppressors before purchase.
The package includes the Kriss Vector CRB firearm, one 10-round magazine, a cleaning kit, a cable lock, the user manual, and a warranty card.
