Rich,
Never shot one, never seen one, never heard of it until now. :o
But after doing a little reading about it, it is interesting.
You have my vote, go for it and then we can have a range report and evaluation. ;D

KJ, where are you?

KJ, where are you?
I was wondering that myself!
I called a local dealer yesterday and he is out of stock but says he has a few coming in this week, I wonder if Tom Watson has access to these?
-
Rich, No I don't.... Thanks for thinking of me. Tom

KJ, where are you?
Hey! I'm here. Just got home. That is one fine gun. I did inquire about one several months ago. The Barret .50 caliber is good to 1850 meters plus, so I'm good. I know, the KRISS is a different animal, and I like it.

I had the chance to shoot one. It was extremely smooth, the recoil doesn't push the muzzle up. The way the system is designed, the assembly goes downwards when fired vs just back towards you.
I imagine on a full-auto version, you would notice it helping even more.

Did you shoot the 16 or 5.5 barrel, how was the grouping and at what yardage?? I'm leaning towards the 16 inch barrel.
-
I like the 16" barrel as well, and was considering that at one time.
-
Didn't you order one from a dealer in Florida who had some issues?
I recall seeing a photo of one that you posted unless I'm dreaming it.
-
No, I didn't order one. I may have posted a picture, but don't have one. Maybe I'm dreaming. ;D
-
I did post a video of a Kriss in automatic mode, but just looked and the video has been deleted. I don't guess they want to show the automatic version any more.
-
Well I have a busy next 6 to 8 weeks but after things slow down a bit I guess I'll be taking me a ride down to Miami to shoot one! ;)
-
I did find the video of the Kriss with the short barrel. Impressive.

One of our members here posted a caution warning in doing any business with Ace's, a Kriss dealer in Miami.

I would definitely want to know the dealer I was doing business with. My gun shop doesn't carry these, but said he would have no problem getting one, but of course, not fully automatic.

Thanks Tracker, that is the dealer I had called!!
-
You are very welcome. I might use them for a test fire but nothing else involving a purchase.
-
Test drive only indeed!

Here is a thread which veered off into a discussion of the KRISS:
http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/YaBB.cgi?board=RangeReports;action=display;num=1251566211;start=
The KRISS may offer some insight into the future direction for CQBW development.
-
Yep! I remember that thread. That's what got me interested in the Kriss and nearly bought one.
-
I had read somewhere on their website about the ejector issue and the serial #'s involved.
-
Very interesting, Thank you Richard.
-
It's still a new animal and a lot to consider. I decided to wait on recommendation of the gun shop I deal with.
-
Thanks for the thread, Richard; that is the one I recalled but couldn't find.
-
Gee whiz. I was just there! ;D
-
Did you shoot the 16 or 5.5 barrel, how was the grouping and at what yardage?? I'm leaning towards the 16 inch barrel.
16 inch. As far as grouping, I wasn't really trying to aim accurately. A guy at an outdoor range I go to had one and let me shoot a magazine though it. I was shooting at a 25 yard target, and from what I could make out, the shots were going where I wanted them to go.
-
Tks J!
-
Here is one for sale.

One amazing weapon, for sure!

Tks John, will look into this when I return from the keys tonite.

I own a Kriss Super V and must say that it is a joy to shoot. My local FFL has told me about some problems in the first generation Kriss' that were shipped with the bolt pivot getting jammed sometimes. Kriss is repairing all Gen 1's with new bolt assemblies and my Gen2 model has not had any problems. I have not expeerienced any ejection issues at all. There is some literature out there stating that these firearms need to run very clean ammo, but from personal experience, I have run everything from Blazer, to higher end 45's and all the way down to dirty old reloads testing this firearm and have not had any FTF or ejection issues at all.
Here's one for you guys, have you ever run across the matching Kriss Super V knife. They were made for awhile but discontinued for cost reasons. They have an incredible TOPS blade but just so darn expensive that they quit making them. I came across one before I found my rifle, and so far I haven't found anyone that has the set other than myself. (not bragging!!! just proud of it!!)
Pictures attached. And yes, that is my 1952 Vendo 144 Coke machine I'm restoring in the background of one of the photo's, so don't knock it until I'm finished!

Thor:
There are a few of us around here who have been interested in the KRISS for the past three years or so. I personally consider it to represent the future of the CQBW. Thank you for posting those photographs.
-
I'm one of those who have been interested in the Kriss and it was on my short list; very fine weapon, for sure.
-
I believe it to be the future CQBW for sure. Firing a .45ACP specs show it to have 60% less recoil and 90% less muzzle raise than the H&K MP5 which fires .9mm. It is a testament to good engineering.
