Description
The KRISS Vector SDP Gen II 10mm 5.5″ Threaded Black is a non-NFA semi-auto pistol that brings the legendary Super V recoil system to a compact, ready-to-shoot package. Chambered in 10mm Auto, it pairs a 5.5-inch Black Nitride threaded barrel with full-length top and bottom Picatinny rails. This setup keeps muzzle rise low and lets you mount optics, lights, or a suppressor without hassle. It feeds from standard Glock 20 magazines and uses ambidextrous controls throughout. Per KRISS specs, the SDP Gen II weighs 3.8 pounds empty and measures 17.6 inches overall, making it a balanced choice for home defense or range practice.

Key Features
- Super V Recoil Mitigation System – Why it matters: redirects recoil energy downward instead of straight back, so you stay on target faster and feel less fatigue during longer sessions.
- 5.5″ Threaded Black Nitride Barrel – Why it matters: lets you attach a suppressor or compensator easily, and the Nitride finish resists corrosion and wear for years of reliable use.
- Full-Length MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny Rails (Top & Bottom) – Why it matters: mount optics, lights, lasers, or a foregrip without adapters, keeping your setup exactly how you want it.
- Ambidextrous Controls – Why it matters: safety, magazine release, and charging handle work for left- or right-handed shooters, so every family member can operate it naturally.
- Flip-Up Low-Profile Sights – Why it matters: co-witness with red dots or fold flat when not needed, giving you a clean sight picture and backup iron sight capability.
Who It’s For
This KRISS Vector SDP Gen II is built for families who want a reliable home-defense pistol that’s easy to shoot accurately. The Super V system makes 10mm manageable for newer shooters, and the threaded barrel lets you add a suppressor for quieter practice. It also fits experienced shooters who want a compact platform for tactical training or competition. Because it accepts Glock 20 magazines, you can share mags with other 10mm Glocks in your safe.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Low recoil and muzzle rise, rock-solid rail system, accepts Glock 20 mags, ambidextrous controls, suppressor-ready.
- Cons: The trigger pull is a bit heavy out of the box (around 6.5 lbs per owner reports), and the unusual bolt travel can take a few range trips to get used to.

What magazines does the KRISS Vector SDP Gen II 10mm use?
It uses standard Glock 20 magazines in 10mm Auto. You can buy factory Glock 20 mags or aftermarket options from companies like ETS or Magpul. The pistol ships with one 15-round magazine, but you can use any Glock 20-compatible magazine.
Is the KRISS Vector SDP Gen II 10mm legal to own without a tax stamp?
Yes, it is a non-NFA semi-automatic pistol with a 5.5″ barrel and an overall length of 17.6 inches. As long as you do not attach a vertical foregrip or a stock that makes it a short-barreled rifle, it is legal to own without a tax stamp in most states. Always check your local laws before purchasing.
Can I suppress the KRISS Vector SDP Gen II 10mm?
Yes, the 5.5″ barrel is threaded (standard 1/2×28 pitch for 10mm) and comes with a thread protector. You can attach a 10mm-rated suppressor, but you must comply with NFA regulations if you use a suppressor. The Super V system helps keep the action quieter by reducing gas blowback.
How does the Super V system feel compared to a traditional pistol?
The Super V system redirects recoil energy downward into the grip rather than straight back into your hand. This means you feel less muzzle flip and can get back on target faster. It’s especially helpful for new shooters or when shooting hot 10mm loads. The trade-off is a slightly different grip angle and bolt travel that takes a few rounds to get used to.
What accessories fit the KRISS Vector SDP Gen II 10mm?
You can mount optics (like a Holosun 407C or Trijicon RMR) using the top Picatinny rail, attach a weapon light (e.g., Streamlight TLR-1) on the bottom rail, and add a vertical foregrip if you register it as an AOW (check local laws). The threaded barrel accepts most 10mm suppressors or compensators with 1/2×28 threads.
