# Kriss Vector Gen II .45 ACP SDP - FDE Cerakote Tactical Pistol **Brand:** KRISS USA **Category:** Full Size Handguns **Caliber:** .45 ACP ## Specifications - **Caliber:** .45 ACP - **Barrel Length:** 5.5" - **Capacity:** 13 rounds - **Finish:** Black - **Weight:** 94.4 oz - **Overall Length:** 16.75" - **UPC:** 810237023051 - **SKU:** UCEGPPybT ## Description The Kriss Vector Gen II SDP is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP.

The FDE polymer grip is the same Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish as the rest of the gun, and the ambidextrous safety works equally well from either side. ### Key Specifications - **Brand:** Kriss TDI - **Model:** Vector SDP - **Caliber:** .45 ACP - **Capacity:** 13+1 rounds - **Barrel Length:** 5.5 inches - **Overall Length (OAL):** 16.75 inches - **Weight:** 5.90 lbs - **Finish:** Flat Dark Earth Cerakote ### Detailed Features The blowback system reduces felt recoil relative to most .45 ACP pistols, which shows up in faster split times at the range. Low-profile flip-up front and rear sights fold down when not needed. Integrated Picatinny rails front and top allow lights, optics, and other accessories without additional hardware. The Vector's overall length (16.75") puts it in pistol-carbine territory. It handles differently from a compact carry gun, which is worth knowing before buying. ### Usage Scenarios At a range session the 13+1 capacity and reduced recoil make for comfortable extended shooting. For home defense the capacity is adequate and the rail system lets you mount a light. The gun is not well-suited for concealed carry given its size and 5.90 lb. weight. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the Kriss Vector SDP?** A: The Vector SDP Gen II is chambered in .45 ACP. **Q: Who makes the Vector SDP?** A: Kriss TDI (Kriss USA) makes the Vector SDP. **Q: What type of firearm is the Kriss Vector SDP?** A: It is a semi-automatic pistol in the full-size handgun category, operating via a blowback system. **Q: What is the barrel length of the Kriss Vector SDP?** A: The barrel is 5.5 inches long. **Q: How many rounds does the Kriss Vector SDP hold?** A: It has a 13+1 capacity. **Q: Does the Kriss Vector SDP have a threaded barrel?** A: Yes, the Vector Gen II SDP ships with a threaded barrel. **Q: What finish does the Kriss Vector SDP have?** A: It has a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish on both the frame and the polymer grip. **Q: Where can I buy the Kriss Vector SDP?** A: Compare current vendor offers on this page. ## What Reviewers Say *Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > Blowback operation is the standard operation for 9mm pistol caliber carbines. It's very reliable and cheap and easy to make. However, it's not really ideal because it adds a lot more recoil than you really need. > > — [Honest Outlaw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQnfE4kATQw&t=102s) > We have a magazine release right here, which can be a bit of an issue if you are not holding it correctly. > > — [Honest Outlaw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQnfE4kATQw&t=348s) > The trigger here is a subgun trigger. However, it is considerably better in my personal opinion than the MP5. > > — [Honest Outlaw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQnfE4kATQw&t=467s) > Really nice pull. And it's got a quick reset as well. And that allows you to have really quick follow-up shots, which is what you want for a subg gun. > > — [Honest Outlaw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQnfE4kATQw&t=480s) > I thought it would be a little too rusty to hit those small targets with a 9mm PCC, especially considering you get some drop there at 100 yards. But super accurate. > > — [Honest Outlaw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQnfE4kATQw&t=604s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* Owners generally respond well to the Vector's appearance and the FDE Cerakote finish. The low recoil is the most consistently praised functional feature. Shooters moving from standard .45 ACP pistols often notice the difference right away, and it makes the gun accessible to those who find heavier recoil tiring. The integrated Picatinny rails get positive marks from buyers who want to run lights or optics without extra adapters. On the critical side, the size and weight come up often: at 5.90 lbs. and 16.75" overall, it is not a carry gun, and some buyers find it bulkier than expected. The unconventional operating system takes some time to get familiar with. Reliability is generally reported as good, though some users have seen issues with specific ammunition. Proper maintenance and sticking to quality ammo brands resolves most of those complaints. Overall sentiment leans positive among buyers who understand what the platform is. Those who approach it expecting a conventional pistol are more likely to be disappointed. ## Pricing **13 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Shootingsurplus Com | $1164.89 | | Impactguns Com | $1167.29 | | Kygunco Com | $1175.38 | | Guns Com | $1185.99 | | Gunbuyer Com | $1206.87 | | Deguns | $1269.99 | | RK Guns | $1269.99 | | Sportsmansguide Com | $1269.99 | | Globalordnance Com | $1269.99 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $1269.99 | *...and 3 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (1 reviews) > **luke19** (5/5): The Vector has been an absolute crowd pleaser whenever it comes out for range time.
