KRISS 45 Carbine Canada dealer ?

To give it some due, I found it put a lot of lead in the same place in a very short time, I should tried the M3 Greasegun at the same time to compare. If I was them, I would also market a .40cal version, which in a semi-auto with a legal barrel up here would give you a 10 shot carbine because it uses Glock mags. I found the dual controls odd.

They actually do have a .40 cal version. i personally wouldn't mind one of these either. A .45 cal pistol is a potent weapon for up close and personal work. A carbine is just a more accurate extension of this in my mind.

Laugh Colin, Me, Tootall and yourself all commented on it when we played with it in Vegas.
 
I will be waiting in line to get one if imported - hopefully near the first in line !! :ar15:
You guy should have read the stuff going out when the Glock was introduced...it is the same story here all over again..:rolleyes:

The only destructive purpose I'd like to see with that abomination involves a tiger torch a lighter and a heavy setting maul.

Plastis used "on" an firearms is ok.. plastic used "as" a firearm is another. That and it looks like something my slow cousin Jimmy designed with a crayon and some willpower. ;)

LOL. Fair enough, you got me there. Yeah, I can agree it isn't the hottest innovation the hit the market.

Its the same size as a short barreled pistol calibre AR(or upper alone) or other current subgun offerings. The recoil system is complex and not needed. Its still a pistol calibre carbine/subgun. A fixed LOP stock is counter productive. Its chambered in one of the most expensive handgun calibres. With the advent of LAR 10 rounders, the advantage gained by the pistol calibre carbine is negated. A second top(and accompanying internals) for an AR is far cheaper than a complete second unproven system. Not to mention the translation of manual of arms.

What is there to like?!

Try to find an AR in .45 ACP.. for one - like the 9 mm counterpart you can shoot it in indoor range. I do not know were you buy your ammo - the .45 ACP is far from being the most expensive - check price of the 10 MM , 50AE, 454 Cassull if you can find it - .460 & .500 S&W

As for you other statement - well - they are in the same category - false idea..:cool:

I'm comparing the three most common service calibres, 9/40/45. If you re-read my post I said that it is chambered in "one of the most expensive handgun calibres" The other calibres you mention are difficult to find, cost prohibitive and aside from 10mm are only found in revolvers or other useless firearms like the DE.

Unless one already runs 45ACP handguns there is no benefit to running a 45ACP subgun.

Guys, he asked if the KRISS can be imported and legally owned in Canada.

He didn't ask about the practicality of the KRISS. Or it's tactical value against a short barreled rifle.

It's sorta like saying, "I want an Aston Martin," and everyone chiming in to say, "Overpriced, you'll need to use premium fuel, and it's over engineered. You'll be better off with a Honda Civic."

Not everybody wants an AR.
 
I doubt this will ever be coming to Canada. The DOS will most likely never allow its export and even if it does there doesn't seem to be much demand for it here.

Just to add to the already sufficient KRISS-bashing: who the f*ck designs a subgun that fires ~1000rpm with a 13 round capacity? This thing is destined to be one of those guns that never quite makes it apart from in the world of video games and movies.
 
PS90s are now being exported from the US so the KRISS might get approved if someone really wanted one.

Semi KRISS sells for $2K down south.
 
Is it possible to get the 5.5" barrel version? Or will they not allow <16" carbines out of the country?

If we can't get the SBR barrel, would it be possible to get a run of 18.6" barrels done?

I don't think the US will export anything they consider to be an "NFA" item, which includes rifles with sub-16" barrels. TDI may end up producing a "pistol" version for the US market (short barrel, no stock) but that's probably a long shot.
 
If I had money to burn I would buy a Kriss just because it is different and will likely be collectable at some point.
