Looking upgrade my FCG to the gen 2
Hello yall!
I have a gen 1 vector and with the frt being a thing I am curious to get mine “up to par”. I have messaged Kriss about when they plan on restocking the gen 2 fcg with no avail. Does anyone have any advice on where I could obtain one?
I appreciate any advice
Vector failures
Brought my 9mm vector gen 2 out to break it in today. I ran about 450-500 rounds and had a failure once per mag. Was using Magtech 124 gr, Federal 124 gr, PPU 124gr, and winchester 115gr in the OEM Kriss 40 round mag, glock OEM 33 round, and a magpul 21 rounder.
I deep cleaned it and greased the bolt tracks with EWG before firing. I know that these issues are pretty standard with vectors, but for those of you that have had the issues and fixed them, did the BCM extractor spring upgrade kit work? If not what else did you have to do?
Finally got my vector after being waitlisted for months!
Gen 3 SDP in 9mm. I love the two-tone color way! Probably won't sbr, but I will look at putting a FRT in at some point.
VA panic buy - mags mags mags
Boys, im panic buying in Virginia because god knows when the AWB will turn over.
Obviously, Glock mags are recommended by Kriss.
- What about metal glock mags from Mec-gar?
How well do PMAGs work? PSA got their Dagger and mags bundle
- Five 17rd mags & Five 27rd mags, leaving $290 for the gun which I can then add to the collection, everything for $430
Also, seeing mixed feedback on the Kriss extended mags, have they gotten more reliable?
What about options from ETS, ProMag, KCI - Anything worth looking into?
Thanks!
407k too small or fine?
Thinking of a minimalist build - 407k on a little riser, sig minimalist stock, and osprey 9
Not sure if anyone else has ran a small dot like this before
Vector magpul mag compatibility
Looking for mags for my 9mm gen 2 5.5” vector. I saw some people saying the short magpul glock mags dont fit properly, but has anyone had success with magpul’s 27 round glock mags?
Grabbed a Vector CBR Gen 3
A 10mm Vector CBR Gen 3 with AMG UH1 Holo, a forward grip on the M-Lok. May remove it as it felt good holding the body then the grip.
I have been wanting a Gen 2 but once I knew they were rolling the Gen 3, 2 years ago. I was eventually making sure I grabbed one. Picked it up today and did a small 200 or so rounds but love the system. The Mitigation recoil speaks for itself. Different feel but glad I wasn't disappointed.
Just gotta find a good website that has good prices for the 10mm case. Leave a comment if you know a good online ammo seller.
Cheers 🍻 glad to be a vector owner now. 😅
Gen I Vector 45ACP
Yeah the trigger sucks, the stock isn't the "best" but fuck this gun vibes out with my days of C all Of Duty Black ops I & II
Kriss Vector RATL-R Troubleshooting
Installed a RATL-R in a buddies Kriss Vector (Gen 2.1?). Used the included 3D printed selector cam and made sure to install it in the correct orientation. Gun functions fine on semi-auto and does not fire on safe, but also does not fire when flipped to the FRT position. I’ve read that the tightness of the screws under the top rail which secure the trigger pack inside the body can play a factor in this? Is there anything else I can try? I’m an armorer with varied platform experience, but this is the first time I’ve played with a Vector.
Duality and stovepipes...
At a loss. I have times when I've gotten near a whole magazine to feed, but the FRT has been nothing but crap. Last time I came back from range, I had a really sticky firing pin, so I assumed this could be the culprit for light primer and stovepipes. Cleaned well. The issue has now gotten worse. When I am in semi, at a slow firing rate, it is ok. After this last range visit, if i do rapid fire in semi, I am now seeing the stovepipes which i never did before. What are solutions? I have a new firing pin and extractor kit, but the Kriss bolt is the worst bolt I have ever dealt with in terms of servicing.
For ammo, I've been mainly shooting 115 grain 9mm. Should I change to 124?
Does anybody make a hand guard for gen 3?
Just picked up a gen 3 9mm Vector and can not find any hand guards that fit, not even from Kriss(?). I have a suppressor already and would prefer a tucked or semi tucked look. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Mecha Godzilla vector
Picked up a gen 3 last month, so far no issues, except the regular extractor shenanigans. I went ahead and got a suppressor for it, to eliminate the failure to feed issues. I do have a duality arms ratrl trigger on it. Still breaking it in, since it a new gun.
Gen 2 to Gen 3 conversion?
Hello family. Just got me a gen 2 in 9mm. It came with the hinge frame and a stock (not mounted obviously). I want to F1 this set up, but is the Gen 3 conversion worth it? Or just keep the Gen 2 set up I have and SBR it and live happily ever after?
Looking for some advice! Thank you.
POI shift with suppressor - some changes, testing, and results
Recall I had experienced 6" or more of POI shift at 25 yd with a suppressor on a 6.5" 9mm Gen 2 Vector. I have tried numerous mounts: Plan B, Key Micro, 3-lug, direct thread, all with the same results.
I decided to try the 45 recoil spring based on the idea if the bolt is coming back too fast and too early, the vertical slider/carrier might contribute to this POI shift as it is a straight up 6" shift. I also installed the Rugged M2 brake and used the Rugged dual taper mounts on a few suppressors (namely the short Obsidian 9 as this combo was what Kriss uses to test their Vectors). I ran the HUX Flow 9k as well as the ECCO TLX 5.5"
With the 45 recoil spring and the Rugged M2 brake using those cans, I observed only 3" of POI shift going straight up. To rule out other variables, I decided to shoot the Vector sideways to see if the POI shift followed by the motion of the slider/carrier. Sure enough, shooting it sideways with the ejection port aimed down, the POI shift was straight 3" to the right.
I did not notice any huge change in gas blowback between the Flow 9K, Obsidian 9 (short), or the TLX. I did notice the TLX yielded the tightest grouping I've ever seen from this Vector at 0.5" 5-shots at 25 yd (WWB 115gr FMJ). The TLX is a lightweight titanium can with traditional baffles (dual clipped) and honestly there wasn't much gas to the face.
The POI shift is still rather excessive and appears to be caused by the vertical recoiling motion of the slider system.
I know everyone is all about just spraying and praying at short distances but I figured this might help someone else out there in the future.
Light for SDP-E
Any better options to put on the little shelf? No limit.
