About Kriss USA Firearms
Kriss USA is a firearms manufacturer known for its innovative designs and advanced firearm technology.
The company has a relatively short but impactful history, with roots tracing back to the early 2000s.
The origins of Kriss USA can be traced to the development of the Kriss Super V System by the Swiss company Transformational Defense Industries (TDI).
The Kriss Super V System was a revolutionary firearm operating system designed to mitigate recoil and control muzzle rise to improve accuracy and follow-up shot capability.
In 2010, TDI launched Kriss USA as its subsidiary and established its headquarters in Chesapeake, Virginia, marking the beginning of Kriss USA's independent operation in the United States.
The flagship product introduced by Kriss USA was the Kriss Vector submachine gun.
The Vector utilized the innovative Kriss Super V System, which featured a unique delayed-blowback mechanism and a downward-canted recoil system.
This design significantly reduced felt recoil, muzzle climb, and perceived recoil, improving accuracy and controllability.
Available in .45 ACP, 9mm, and .40 S&W, the Kriss Vector quickly became popular among military and law enforcement agencies, gaining attention for its futuristic appearance and performance.
Over the years, Kriss USA has continued to expand its product line to include semi-automatic variants of the Vector tailored for civilian use and introduced the Kriss Defiance DMK22 series, which are .22 LR semi-automatic rifles inspired by the AR-15 platform.
Today, in addition to their firearms, Kriss USA also produces accessories and components for their guns, including suppressors, stocks, grips, and magazines.
These accessories are designed to enhance the functionality and performance of Kriss firearms.
