Description
There's nothing else on the wall that runs like a Vector. The KRISS Vector CRB Gen 3 uses a closed bolt, delayed blowback action built around the Super V recoil mitigation system, which sends the bolt mass down and behind the trigger instead of straight back at your shoulder. Combine that with a bore axis that sits below your trigger finger and you get a .45 ACP carbine that stays remarkably flat through fast strings. Big bore thump on the target end, soft shooting on yours. That's the whole appeal, and the Gen 3 does it better than ever.
What the Gen 3 Vector CRB Brings to the Table
KRISS reworked the upper and lower housings on this generation, and the updates are practical ones. The barrel shroud now carries M-LOK slots on the sides and bottom for lights and hand stops, while a full length Picatinny top rail handles optics with room to spare. Flip-up sights come installed, the safety lever is ambidextrous, the magazine release is reversible, and the AR-style pistol grip swaps out easily if you have a favorite. The folding, telescoping stock adjusts for length of pull and folds flat against the receiver, which makes this one of the easiest 16 inch carbines to tuck into a range bag. Feeding comes from full size Glock 21 pattern magazines, and a 30 round extended mag is included. The threaded muzzle is ready for your suppressor or muzzle device, and .45 ACP happens to be a fantastic host caliber for shooting quiet with standard pressure loads.
Why Pick the Woodland Delta Vector
The Woodland Delta camo finish gives this CRB a look you won't see on every bench at the range, laid over the same black nitride barrel and durable polymer construction KRISS is known for. At 7.7 pounds with tool-less four pin disassembly, it cleans up quick after a long day of PCC matches, plinking sessions, or just introducing new folks to a centerfire carbine that doesn't beat anyone up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does the KRISS Vector CRB Gen 3 in .45 ACP use?
It feeds from full size Glock 21 pattern magazines, and one 30 round extended magazine comes in the box. If you already run a Glock 21, your existing mags will drop right in. Aftermarket Glock pattern .45 mags and extensions are widely available and affordable.
Does the Vector's Super V system really reduce recoil?
It makes a noticeable difference. Instead of driving the bolt straight rearward, the Super V system redirects that mass downward behind the trigger, and the barrel sits in line with your firing hand rather than above it. The result is less muzzle rise than you'd expect from a .45, especially during rapid fire.
Is the Vector CRB Gen 3 suppressor ready?
Yes, the 16 inch black nitride barrel comes threaded from the factory, so you can mount a suppressor or muzzle device without any gunsmithing. As a bonus, .45 ACP is naturally subsonic in most standard loads, which makes this one of the more satisfying carbines to run suppressed.
Does this Vector CRB come with sights, or do I need an optic?
Low profile flip-up sights come installed, so you can shoot it right away. The full length Picatinny top rail gives you plenty of real estate for a red dot or magnified optic later, and the flip-ups fold down out of the way or work as backups.
