Recoil management is the defining factor between a good defensive platform and a great one. For operators and serious enthusiasts who prioritize rapid, accurate follow-ups, the right design choices—bore axis, recoil redirection, and ergonomics—separate average performance from elite performance.

KRISS VECTOR CRB GEN 3 [BLK] brings a radical, engineering-first approach to recoil control. Built around Kriss’s patented Super V Recoil Mitigation System, this rifle redirects the recoil impulse downward to counteract muzzle rise. Combined with the lowest bore axis of any firearm in the world, the Vector delivers lightning-fast follow-up shots with significantly reduced muzzle climb. Shop this product

Key features and tactical benefits

The CRB variant is configured as a rifle with a 16-inch threaded barrel in an all-black finish. The Gen 3 updates make this iteration more modular: an updated receiver housing allows aftermarket pistol grips and the Picatinny rail stock mount increases stock options for tailored cheek weld and length of pull. The improved magwell textures and revised side profiles enhance handling under stress, while the new M-LOK handguard and M-LOK barrel shroud provide modern attachment points for lights, foregrips, and panels.

Caliber and capacity

Chambered in 9mm Luger, the Vector CRB GEN 3 [BLK] benefits from economical, widely available ammunition and low felt recoil. The package includes one 40-round magazine, making it suitable for range work, tactical training, or defensive scenarios where high-capacity, controllable fire is preferred. Its threaded barrel also gives operators flexibility for muzzle devices or suppressor-ready setups.

Price sits at $1628.99, reflecting the advanced recoil system and factory-upgraded Gen 3 components. View product details and pricing

Ergonomics and real-world application
