KRISS Vector CRB Gen 3 9mm 16-Inch PCC

The KRISS Vector CRB Gen 3 9mm 16-Inch PCC is a semi-automatic pistol-caliber carbine chambered in 9x19mm.

The current black configuration is identified as KV90-3CBL00 and combines the distinctive Vector receiver layout with KRISS’s patented Super V recoil-mitigation system, a 16-inch barrel and updated Gen 3 controls.

KRISS Vector CRB Gen 3 9mm Overview

The Gen 3 CRB represents the full-length rifle configuration of the current centerfire Vector family.

Its redesigned upper and lower housings provide revised ergonomics, while the Gen 3 architecture adds an ambidextrous magazine release, removable pistol grip, rear Picatinny stock interface and updated accessory mounting surfaces.

The standard black 9mm model is associated with UPC 811607039955.

Vector Gen 3 9mm Operating System

The Vector uses a closed-bolt delayed-blowback operating system incorporating the KRISS Super V Recoil Mitigation System.

This architecture redirects the movement of the internal slider downward rather than keeping all reciprocating movement directly in line with the barrel.

The commercial CRB remains semi-automatic and uses full-size Glock-pattern magazines in its 9mm configuration.

16-Inch 4140 Chrome-Moly Barrel

KRISS specifies a 16.0-inch barrel manufactured from 4140 chrome-moly steel.

The barrel receives a black-nitride QPQ finish and uses factory 1/2×28 RH threading.

The Gen 3 CRB surrounds the barrel with a redesigned cosmetic shroud incorporating M-LOK mounting points, giving the full-length carbine a noticeably different fore-end appearance from earlier Vector generations.

Gen 3 Controls and Stock

The 9mm CRB uses a pivoting single-stage trigger and redesigned Gen 3 lower housing.

Its stock is described by KRISS as an ambidextrous telescopic folding stock. The carbine measures approximately 34.9 inches collapsed and 36.9 inches extended.

The upper housing also incorporates a Picatinny optics rail, while the rear Picatinny interface expands compatibility with the Gen 3 stock architecture.

Magazine and Factory Configuration

The current black 9mm CRB is supplied with one 40-round magazine and is compatible with full-size Glock-pattern 9mm magazines.

KRISS lists the unloaded weight at approximately 7.7 pounds.

Factory box contents also include a cleaning kit, cable lock, user manual and warranty card.
