KRISS Vector Gen 3 Alpine and Flat Dark Earth Options
KRISS USA has expanded its Vector Gen 3 lineup with two new factory finishes: Alpine and Flat Dark Earth. The updated color options are now shipping to authorized distributors and dealers and will be available across the full range of Gen 3 configurations. This includes the CRB carbine, the SDP pistol, and the SBR variant for qualified buyers.
The Vector Gen 3 series builds on KRISS’s established Super V recoil-mitigation system and retains the ambidextrous controls, modular furniture, and updated ergonomics introduced with the current generation. With Alpine and FDE added to the catalog, buyers now have factory-applied color choices suited for colder climates, desert environments, or simply for customizing a collection with factory-standard variants.
KRISS notes that these new finishes are not limited to specific configurations. Whether users prefer a full-length carbine, a compact pistol setup, or an SBR, the Alpine and FDE colorways will be available out of the box.
Alongside the new rifles, KRISS USA has announced an update to its Gen 2–to–Gen 3 Upgrade Service, offering existing Vector Gen 2 owners the ability to retrofit their firearms to Gen 3 specifications. Beginning in January 2026, this service will also support the new Alpine and Flat Dark Earth color options. Owners will be able to send in their Gen 2 firearm and receive updated components that align it with current-generation features and compatibility.
The upgrade process is intended for users who want to bring older Vectors in line with the ergonomics and improvements found in the Gen 3 series without purchasing an entirely new firearm. If you’re an owner of a Gen 2, is this something you would consider?
