EP Armory BRRRT — Kriss Vector Forced Reset Trigger | Gen 1, 2 & 3 Compatible

The EP Armory BRRRT is a forced reset trigger designed specifically for the Kriss Vector platform. It is compatible with Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 Kriss Vector models across all supported calibers: 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 ACP. The BRRRT delivers a rapid, consistent reset by using the Vector's cycling action to mechanically actuate the trigger for faster follow-up shots, while remaining semi-automatic — one round per trigger pull, every time. NSPEC Innovations is one of the select retailers offering the EP Armory BRRRT in the United States, and considers it the best-performing Kriss Vector FRT currently available.

As a special offer for BRRRT customers, NSPEC also offers discounted 33-round 9mm magazines compatible with both the Glock and the Kriss Vector. These are available as an add-on at checkout.

Why the Kriss Vector Benefits from a Forced Reset Trigger

The Kriss Vector uses a patented delayed-blowback system with a downward-angling bolt carrier that redirects recoil energy downward rather than rearward. This makes the platform inherently fast-cycling and low-recoil relative to its caliber — characteristics that pair naturally with a forced reset trigger. The Vector's proprietary fire control system is not AR-based, which means standard AR or AK FRT solutions are not compatible. The BRRRT is purpose-engineered for the Vector's specific geometry and cycling behavior, making it one of the very few forced reset options that actually works on this platform.

Installation Overview

The Kriss Vector requires preparation before installing the BRRRT. The platform has a known break-in period of 150 or more rounds even in factory configuration, and some factory Vector fire control systems can be stiff or catchy out of the box. Before installation, EP Armory recommends the following:

  • Polish the bolt lugs to a smooth, shiny finish to eliminate friction points that can interfere with reliable cycling under forced reset conditions
  • Thoroughly clean the weapon to ensure no factory grease or debris is impeding the action
  • Remove the top rail — on Gen 1 models this requires removing the front roll pin and an allen screw; installation of the BRRRT components requires access underneath the top rail
  • Install the roller onto the trigger reset spring and center it on the spring end — avoid bending the spring permanently or to one side during installation
  • Adjust the screw for proper trigger travel — leave approximately 1/16 inch or more of travel, but ensure the trigger can still be pulled and reset completely. The exact adjustment varies by generation, caliber, and round count on the weapon
  • On Gen 1 models, if the screw protrudes too far for the top rail to reinstall, the bottom of the screw may need to be shaved flush so it can be recessed below the rail mounting surface

Full installation instructions are available from EP Armory at eparmory.com/krissvectorfrt. Read the full installation guide before beginning — the Kriss Vector is a more involved installation than a standard drop-in trigger swap due to the platform's proprietary design.

Lubrication and Maintenance

The BRRRT requires proper lubrication to function reliably, especially during the break-in period. Dry or under-lubricated installations are one of the most common causes of inconsistent cycling on the Vector. EP Armory recommends applying lubrication to all contact surfaces before the first use and checking lubrication levels regularly during break-in. The roller is a wear component and may require periodic replacement over the life of the trigger, similar to other wear parts like barrels or firing pins. EP Armory covers defective units under warranty — if the roller fails prematurely due to a manufacturing defect, contact EP Armory to initiate a warranty claim.

Discounted 33-Round 9mm Magazines

NSPEC offers discounted 33-round 9mm magazines for BRRRT customers, compatible with both the Kriss Vector and Glock. These magazines are made from impact-resistant polymer and are available to add to your order at checkout. If you are running the Vector in 9mm, these high-capacity magazines pair directly with the BRRRT for extended range sessions without frequent reloads.

State Restrictions and Legal Notice

The Kriss Vector BRRRT FRT is subject to state-level restrictions on rate-of-fire modifying devices in a number of states. Common restricted states include CA, CT, DC, HI, MA, MD, NJ, NY, RI, and WA, though the specific list may change. Verify your state's current laws before purchasing. For a detailed research workflow, see the NSPEC FRT buyer's guide.

By purchasing, the customer acknowledges the following: this is an aftermarket part; any damage to the firearm or injury resulting from improper installation or misuse is the responsibility of the user, not the seller or manufacturer; proper lubrication is required for reliable function; and the roller is a wear component that may require periodic replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the EP Armory BRRRT and how does it work?

    The BRRRT is a forced reset trigger kit designed specifically for the Kriss Vector platform. It uses a roller and spring mechanism that interfaces with the Vector's fire control group to mechanically push the trigger forward to its reset point after the bolt completes its rearward travel. This allows faster follow-up shots than the factory trigger reset while remaining semi-automatic — the shooter completes a full trigger pull for every round fired. The trigger does not convert the Vector to automatic fire.

  • What Kriss Vector generations is the BRRRT compatible with?

    The BRRRT is compatible with Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 Kriss Vector models. Gen 1 owners should be aware that the Gen 1 trigger pack is widely considered the least reliable of the Vector's fire control generations, and EP Armory recommends replacing a Gen 1 trigger pack with a Gen 2 or later trigger pack before installing the BRRRT for the most consistent results. Gen 2 and Gen 3 installations generally require less preparation.

  • What calibers does the Kriss Vector BRRRT support?

    The BRRRT is compatible with all four calibers available in the Kriss Vector lineup: 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 ACP. The installation process and adjustment are broadly consistent across calibers, though the exact screw adjustment for trigger travel may vary slightly depending on the specific caliber, generation, and round count on the individual weapon.

  • Why does the Kriss Vector need its own specific FRT?

    The Kriss Vector uses a proprietary delayed-blowback operating system with a downward-angling bolt carrier that is fundamentally different from AR-15, AK, or other common platforms. Its fire control group geometry, trigger pack design, and cycling behavior are all Vector-specific. Standard AR or AK FRT solutions are physically incompatible with the Vector's lower receiver and trigger pack. The BRRRT was engineered specifically around the Vector's mechanism, making it one of the only purpose-built forced reset solutions for this platform.

  • Does the Kriss Vector need any preparation before installing the BRRRT?

    Yes. EP Armory recommends polishing the bolt lugs to a smooth finish and thoroughly cleaning the Vector before installation. The Vector has a break-in period of 150 or more rounds even in factory configuration, and the fire control system can be stiff or catchy before it has been properly run. Attempting to install the BRRRT on a Vector that hasn't been cleaned and prepared often leads to cycling issues that are attributed to the trigger rather than the underlying platform condition. Read the full EP Armory installation guide at eparmory.com/krissvectorfrt before starting.

  • How do I adjust the BRRRT screw for proper trigger travel?

    The screw controls how much the trigger can travel forward after the reset. EP Armory recommends leaving approximately 1/16 inch or more of forward travel — enough for the trigger to actuate and reset reliably without over-traveling. The correct adjustment varies by generation, caliber, and wear state of the individual weapon. Function-check the trigger after each adjustment by manually actuating the hammer and trigger to confirm the hammer resets correctly without locking up. If the trigger or hammer locks, the screw is too tight — back it out until function is restored.

  • The roller on my BRRRT failed. Is this covered under warranty?

    EP Armory covers defective BRRRT units under warranty and will replace units that fail due to manufacturing defects. If your roller fails prematurely, contact EP Armory directly to initiate a warranty claim. Note that the roller is designed as a wear component — like a barrel or firing pin — and will require replacement over the life of the trigger as it accumulates round count. Premature failure within a few hundred rounds is generally a warranty situation; wear-based replacement after extended use is a normal maintenance item.

  • How important is lubrication for the BRRRT?

    Lubrication is critical, especially during the break-in period. The forced reset mechanism adds contact points and mechanical interactions beyond the factory trigger configuration, and dry or under-lubricated operation accelerates wear on the roller and can cause inconsistent cycling. EP Armory specifically requires proper lubrication as a condition of reliable function. Apply lubricant to all contact surfaces before the first use and check lubrication regularly during the break-in phase of the first 150 or more rounds.

  • Is the BRRRT legal in my state?

    The BRRRT is subject to the same state-level restrictions that apply to other forced reset trigger devices. States with rate-of-fire accessory bans, multiburst trigger activator laws, or machine gun definitions broad enough to cover FRTs may prohibit purchase, possession, or installation. Commonly restricted states include CA, CT, DC, HI, MA, MD, NJ, NY, RI, and WA, though this list is not exhaustive and can change. Verify your state's current statutes before ordering. The NSPEC FRT buyer's guide provides a step-by-step state verification workflow.

  • Are the discounted 33-round magazines compatible with my Vector?

    Yes. The NSPEC 33-round 9mm magazines offered as an add-on for BRRRT customers are compatible with both the Kriss Vector and Glock pistols in 9mm. They are made from impact-resistant polymer. These magazines are only available in 9mm and are compatible with 9mm Vector configurations specifically — they are not compatible with .40 S&W, 10mm, or .45 ACP Vector variants. Add them to your order directly from the product page at checkout.
