The Kriss Vector Gen II SDP is a .45 ACP pistol built on a closed bolt delayed blowback operating system—a design that tames recoil and keeps you on target shot after shot. With a 5.5-inch barrel and compact 16.75-inch overall length, it's a serious handgun for shooters who demand both control and stopping power. Whether you're looking for a duty pistol, home defense gun, or range workhorse, the Vector Gen II brings reliable performance and distinctive handling to the table.
The delayed blowback system is the heart of what makes this gun special. Instead of the bolt flying open immediately after firing, the Kriss design uses a patented hydraulic buffer and spring mechanism to slow the bolt's rearward motion. The result is noticeably reduced felt recoil and muzzle climb compared to conventional .45 ACP platforms. That means faster follow-up shots and better accuracy, even under stress. At 5.9 pounds unloaded, it's hefty enough to soak up energy but still manageable for extended shooting sessions.
This is a working gun for serious shooters. The 13+1 magazine capacity gives you a solid round count without sacrificing ergonomics. The threaded barrel (M16x1 LH) opens the door to suppressor compatibility if you want to take the recoil reduction even further. The black finish is durable and professional, and the compact profile keeps the gun manageable in the field or at the range.
| Caliber | .45 ACP |
| Operating System | Closed bolt delayed blowback |
| Barrel Length | 5.5 inches |
| Overall Length | 16.75 inches |
| Overall Height | 6.8 inches |
| Weight (Unloaded) | 5.9 pounds |
| Magazine Capacity | 13+1 rounds |
| Barrel Threads | M16x1 LH |
| Finish | Black |
Yes. The barrel is threaded M16x1 left-hand, so it's ready for suppressor mounting. The delayed blowback system also makes it a good candidate for suppressed use, as the design already manages recoil impulse well.
The Kriss delayed blowback design slows the rearward motion of the bolt using a hydraulic buffer and spring mechanism instead of letting it cycle freely. This reduces felt recoil and muzzle climb, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate—especially in a powerful caliber like .45 ACP.
Yes. The .45 ACP caliber, 13+1 capacity, and reduced recoil characteristics make it suitable for both roles. The compact dimensions and weight are practical for carry or storage, and the stopping power of .45 ACP is well-established.
At 16.75 inches long and 6.8 inches tall, the Vector Gen II is compact relative to full-size duty pistols, though it carries a larger footprint than single-stack subcompact models. It strikes a balance between control and portability.
