Seems so wrong to buy one with that G-D awful shroud. Not sure how weight is balanced but sucks we need that stuff just to shoot it not at a range.
Well for me so far I only shoot at an indoor range that I am a member of, and its 25 yards max distance. So all my rifles are short, I don't feel the need for a 18" barrel to shoot 25 yards. The longest rifle I have is 10.5", other then that I have two 7.5" length ones and the KRISS with 5.5" and some pistols
Also I like that I don't need a huge rifle length case to carry them, the KRISS in 5.5" folds in half basically and I fit it in a medium size Pelican case for transport.
I do not own any non restricted firearms at this time, I don't have anywhere to shoot them really, and I am more interested in short barreled CQB stuff personally....Maybe one day that will change but for now that is my main interest.
The store I bought my KRISS at only had one in restricted length, and when I checked the date on the papers in the case it came in, that gun had been there since 2012! It was more of a hunting/fishing type place up north so I understand people out in that area wouldn't be interested in it. I drove an hour and half specifically to see the gun, I bought it on the spot. Hopefully I will be able to find the 9mm in restricted eventually also
If someone made a trigger pack for these I believe it would take the gun from great to just amazing! Id like to hear feedback on the new trigger, it pivots like a traditional trigger unlike the older ones that slide backwards. Would be nice to hear how they compare
