KRISS latest:

In my latest email exchanges with RCMP, I asked if the KRISS Vector FRT number had been suspended and, if so, why? Here’s what Corporal David Falls tells us:
“The RCMP’s Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) is not reviewing its previous expert opinion on the classification of the Swiss KRISS Vector. A new version, made by KRISS USA, has been introduced into the market, and is being assessed by the CFP so that it can be legally registered, if necessary, and sold in Canada. This is a routine activity of the CFP, which assesses over 3700 new firearms each year in order to fulfil its registration mandate under the Firearm Act.”
The exchange corroborates with what John from North Sylva told me earlier… You’ll recall in a previous post, I mentioned what came of my correspondence with John regarding the KRISS Vector specifically:
- John says he’s in regular contact with RCMP and they are hoping to restore FRT # within 60 days
- Kriss Vector is not under re-examination according to his knowledge
- ***RCMP say this was based on a misunderstanding of the origin of firearm
***
- Retail of KRISS Vector suspended for now
It’s the penultimate point that’s most important here. It seems as though, in importing a new version of the KRISS Vector, one made by KRISS USA, the RCMP/CFP– in their infinite wisdom– suspended the FRT # of the Swiss KRISS Vector in the meantime… Despite having already passed initial RCMP classification.
