The Kriss Vector CRB G2, chambered in .45 ACP (Kriss TDI part no. KV45CFD22), is a pistol-caliber carbine built around the company’s patented closed-bolt delayed-blowback KSV system, engineering that keeps felt recoil flat for a .45-caliber gun. This California-compliant configuration wears an FDE Cerakote finish and ships with a 10-round Glock 21-pattern magazine, so shooters in restricted-capacity states still get the Vector’s signature low-impulse shooting experience. A 16-inch barrel, ambidextrous controls, and flip-up front and rear sights round out a carbine equally suited to home defense and pistol-caliber-carbine competition. At 7.8 pounds unloaded and 6.8 inches tall, it is a compact carbine with a distinctive look.

Key Specifications

• Chambered in .45 ACP, delivering proven stopping power with soft recoil thanks to the Vector’s delayed-blowback design.
• The 16-inch barrel keeps the carbine compliant with federal rifle-length barrel minimums while staying compact.
• A rifling twist rate of 1:16 inches is matched to stabilize standard .45 ACP bullet weights for consistent accuracy.
• Ships with a 10-round Glock 21-pattern magazine, the California-compliant capacity configuration for this model.
• The closed-bolt delayed-blowback KSV operating system redirects recoil energy down and rearward, producing noticeably less muzzle rise than a standard blowback .45.
• An ambidextrous control layout lets left- and right-handed shooters run the safety and mag release without changing their grip.
• Front and rear flip-up sights provide a fast backup sighting system that folds flat when a red dot is mounted.
• The frame combines advanced metal components with a polymer composite shell for a durable build.
• An FDE Cerakote finish adds corrosion resistance along with a distinctive tan colorway.
• An overall height of 6.8 inches keeps the receiver’s profile low for a compact stored footprint.
