Description
There is nothing else on the market that runs quite like a Kriss Vector. The CRB G2 uses the patented Super V system, a closed-bolt, delayed-blowback action where the bolt travels down and back into the frame instead of straight rearward. That downward movement works like a counterweight against muzzle rise, so the gun stays flat and your sights stay on target through fast strings of fire. In 9mm, the difference is something you feel on the very first magazine. Follow-up shots come quick and easy, which is exactly why the Vector has carved out a loyal following in pistol caliber carbine competition.
What Sets the Vector CRB G2 Apart
This configuration wears a 16-inch 4140 chrome moly barrel with a black nitride finish and threaded muzzle, wrapped in the Vector's signature square barrel shroud. Feeding comes from full-size Glock 17 pattern magazines, which means spares are affordable, easy to find, and proven reliable. A crisp two-stage trigger with a quick reset keeps pace with the flat-shooting action, and low-profile flip-up front and rear sights get you on paper right out of the box while leaving the top rail clear for a red dot or optic of your choice. Ambidextrous controls round out a thoughtful control layout that works for lefties and righties alike.
Range-Ready in Flat Dark Earth
The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish looks sharp over the polymer and metal construction and holds up well to regular handling and range wear. At 7.8 pounds unloaded, the Vector CRB G2 carries its weight low and centered, which adds to that planted, controllable feel. It ships with one 10-round magazine, giving you a 10+1 capacity setup that is at home in a wide range of locales. Whether you are chasing faster stage times, want a soft-shooting carbine that shares magazines with your Glock, or just want one of the most distinctive firearms designs of the last couple decades, this one earns its spot in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does the Kriss Vector CRB G2 use?
It feeds from full-size Glock 17 pattern 9mm magazines and ships with one 10-round mag. That is one of the Vector's biggest perks, since Glock mags are inexpensive, easy to find, and have a long track record of reliability. If you already run a Glock 9mm pistol, your mags will work in this carbine too.
Does the Super V system really reduce recoil?
Yes, and it is the main reason people buy Vectors. Instead of the bolt driving straight back, it travels down and rearward into the frame, redirecting recoil energy downward to counter muzzle rise. Combined with the low bore axis and 16-inch barrel, 9mm out of this carbine feels remarkably soft and flat.
Can I mount a red dot or optic on the Vector CRB G2?
Absolutely. The full-length top Picatinny rail accepts red dots, holographic sights, or magnified optics, and the included flip-up sights fold down out of the way. Many owners run a compact red dot and keep the flip-ups as backups.
Is the Vector CRB G2 a good choice for PCC competition?
It is one of the more popular picks in pistol caliber carbine divisions for good reason. The flat-shooting Super V action, quick-reset two-stage trigger, and Glock mag compatibility make it easy to run fast and keep sights on target between shots. It is equally at home as a fun range gun for casual shooting.
