Did the Kriss Vector ever get reliable?

Buddy has one on in .45. Said it’s never been very reliable.

I know there was a Gen 2 version.

Were issues resolved?

Kinda interested in a delayed recoil .45 acp.

I found some conversations from '21/'22 and the consensus is the Kriss varies from hot garbage to not critically-reliable range toy.

I’d be interested in the 10mm. That’s gonna be a thumper. Recent versions seem reliable. My n = 1 experience with 2 of them was they were reliable the day at the range I used them. Both were in .45. 10mm is a game changer potentially:

My 10mm has been flawless. Not a single malfunction in the last 3 years.


Love this thing. Never been a fan of Kris’s mag extension kits. I’ve had really good results with these ETS magazines. SMG mags have worked well too. I just watch the feed lips to make sure they don’t get bent/cracked over time.
