Having just passed my RPAL, I think I'd like to try one of these, but I talked to a guy at the range who had one, and he says it's very heavy. His is a non-restricted version with the long barrel, so perhaps that makes a difference. Is the non restricted version more accurate with the longer barrel? I'd be looking for a 9mm version.

Are there any other considerations?

Lots of great options in the 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine. CZ Evo is one that really rocks out on 9mm. I have a Non Rest Vector in 10mmAuto, and it is a FANTASTIC gun, but yes it is a bit heavy.
 
I would say first decide if status matters to you. The NR often sell and hold value better (people dont like the registry), but the restricted is how it was meant to be (way handier and a lot lighter). These are considerations you must make in addition to how the transport and use restrictions apply to both statuses.

The Kriss is one of the few sub gun platforms that offers a factory NR option, its only competition is from the BRS-99, and aftermarket converted Evo 3's, MPX's, and PS90's, and it is the only one of those 4 sub guns that utilizes pistol mags giving it the 10rd advantage.

If status and mag capacity are not an issue, the CZ Evo 3 is the best bang for your buck, I know I intend to get one.

If you do decide you want a NR Kriss, you can remove the barrel shroud and expose that noodle barrel, it saves about a pound of weight off the front of your rifle which makes a big difference.

A Beretta CX4 Storm in 9mm is a infinitely better consideration for a pistol caliber non restricted carbine.
 
I have a NR Kriss gen 2 in 9mm. Its a nice gun, but if you go on youtube and see what it is capable of (1200rpm) and 2 round bursts, having the nerfed Canadian version is lackluster.
For $2000 you can buy something nicer in the NR category and something really nice in the R category.
 
I've owned two gen 1 in 45auto which I enjoyed but for whatever reason sold them. Now I have a gen 2 in 9mm and really like it.
All 3 were/are reliable and accurate.

I've owned lots of pcc's and keep coming back to the Vactor.
I'm not sure why but I go through cycles when it comes to pistol caliber carbines. I see one I like and buy it so I can shoot more for less money, less recoil, less noise then I realize pistol calibers have no power for anything practical and I sell them off. Then I'll see a good deal on one and start over.

Of all the pcc's I've owned or shot I think the HK USC is the best we have access to and they can be converted to NR but the magazines are very expensive.
The Sig MPX which sounds like it might be the new best, I haven't shot one yet but from handling them and reading peoples reviews they sound fantastic other than being stuck with 5 round magazines.

I like my Vectors, they're well built, accurate, and reliable. Don't worry about the weight, you don't notice it when shooting. The only negative to the Vector is that it's awkward to sling as it doesn't really come with any sling points other than on the stock of the new ones.
 
I also have the non-restricted Vector gen 2 in 10mm.
Crazy recoil impulse. Straight back with almost no muzzle jump.
Yes, definitely nose heavy with the long barrel.

Definitely give the Scorpion EVO a look if you’re set on 9mm. The restricted version is nice and compact.
Cheaper than the Vector, but the 5 round max really sucks.....
