Kriss 18.6"

I had one, and just as advertised, zero recoil on them. The material and finish on it is just in the middle range, not top notch, but not a piece of crap either.

Had around 500 rounds thru the rifle, does need some break in for my first 30-ish rounds, but things getting perfect after the short break in period. I also tried several Korean KCI 10/26 round mags, and they do work okay, but some of them do not drop-free, funny. ..

One thing you have to care about is the barrel shroud, its made of aluminium which is very soft and easy to put a dent on, so never drop it on the ground or pinch it onto the ground.

All in all, its a newly design firearm and I like innovations a lot! Pretty decent firearm to get!
 
look the 18.5 inch barrel on the kriss makes me sad on the inside. Remember it uses pistol rounds not rifle rounds so wouldnt be very good for anything aside from very small game if you are looking to hunt with it. For the money get something else NR and a decent optic on it.

My thought exactly. For the price add a couple hundred and you have yourself a Tavor
 
I have had my Kriss for well over a year now, I admit it is not a beauty queen with the long barrel . But that is the price we pay to get a NR sub carbine in 45 acp.
I do not understand why we are talking about the Tavor here???
The kriss and the Tavor are two entirely different fire arms.
djmay71 , Yes I like the kriss , and no I have not been hunting with it.
It is not really designed to hunt with.( IMHO) :)

Please explain how a .451 230grain bullet going approx. 900 to 1,000 fps is only good for "very small game"?
 
We're talking about the Tavor because it's awesome ;)

I think there's definitely a spot for the Kriss as a NR pistol-carbine setup. Even if the long barrel is ugly. I'm sure with some load development someone could take a deer at 50 yards and put it down no problem.
 
One more thing and then I'm done, the 45acp has taken the lives of an unknown number in two World Wars from a 5" barrel, an unknown number from an 10" and 12" barrel as well. Since the advent of the internet, it is "only good for small game".

I am soo glad that the people we armed with them had no idea they were being sent to war with an inferior cartridge.
 
I picked up a KRISS Vector Non Restricted, I like it alot, I have added a Fab Defense Grip/Bi-pod with Sure fire light, and a Bushnell Holosight. The Holosight is perfectly co-witnessed to the folding BUOS sights.

Prob the same kind of guy who thinks a .223Rem or 7.62x39 bullets will just "bounce" off a deer...and bought a .300Win Mag for gophers!!!
 
I've put around 1,000 rounds through the NR Kriss and haven't had a single FTF or FTE. It runs beautifully as long as it's well lubricated. Kriss' chief Gunsmith, Charlie Martz, told me it likes to be run pretty wet. Maybe I'm the only one but I think the barrel shroud looks cool. It looks like a big suppressor, and in fact it is so quiet that I've had two people ask me at the range if it was suppressed.

As for the guy that said that it has zero recoil, he's not accurate at all. It does have recoil and just about every professional range report on the Kriss will admit as well that, surprisingly, it does have recoil. Not a LOT of recoil, but don't believe anyone who tells you it has none. I've felt it's recoil about 1,000 to 1,100 times, lol.

As for the guy who said it would only be good for small game? What the......?? You could easily drop a deer with a 230 grain hollow point. As long as the deer is in range. Where as if you shoot a gopher or a rabbit with the same cartridge, you'd be able to wear it like a bracelet, lol.

Mmmmmm Tavor. I think I need one for the collection. Look great alongside my XCR-M and RFB. Nonrestricted heaven. Lol

If a .45 hollow point will drop a person it will surely drop a deer.

Handled a non-restricted Kriss the other day and its still ugly to me. Man it's a hell of a lot of barrel for such a puny gun. The restricted version on the other hand isn't a bad looking gun. I hate to say it but the JR Carbine would be a better option if they didn't have so many problems with it in .45 ACP version.
 
Kriss Purchase?

I am intrigued by the Kriss and looking to get my first firearm. I know some would scoff at such a $$ purchase as their first but the idea of something non-ristricted with such great design and capacity (10 round on non-ristricted) just sounds like more fun. Plus a design that will assist a new shooter on target more often just seems smart. My close ranges' also don't provide for serious distance shooting. I did grow up shooting .22 as a kid. But that was some time ago....

Anyway my question is the comment regarding grip and light were these aftermarket add ons or the 'Tac Pac' option vector offers? Was it cheaper to go after market if that is what they are?
