    SP89 is a no brainer if money is not an issue. You can get a sear and have an awesomely fun gun.

    The Kriss Vector hasn't caught on with military and police forces around the world despite high expectations. If that doesn't change I expect it will end up in the history books as the next Jatimatic sub gun that didn't make it.

    The H&K MP5 type guns have been used by just about any friendly country out there and have a quite a following even though they are obsolete and a 50 year old design.

    The Kriss at the moment doesn't do much for me, the MP5 type guns different story.

    I don’t know how long it takes but its $200.00 for an SBR. $5.00 applies to the any other weapon category.

    I would also go with the HK sp89. I did own a Kriss vector carbine. The pros; it worked flawlessly, it took Glock 21 mags, it also had an internal built in spot for a tactical light. The Cons; the ridiculous long barrel shrouded by a fake suppressor added unnecessary weight and size to the gun, the folding stock was cheaply made, the recoil wasn’t reduced by the gun’s unique design at least not it semi auto, the charging handled was hard and awkward to pull especially when the gun is new, and the controls are awkward to use. Of course the barrel problem will not be an issue with a pistol or SBR. As already mentioned from other posters, the HK has already proven itself with it use by militaries and law enforcement. The vector is the new kid on the block that hasn’t made a name for itself. I got rid of the vector I had so I guess you can call me a Vector defector.

    The Kriss doesn't seem to work well in the civilian formats it has to comply with. The pistol version is a big chunky monkey and the carbine 16 inch barrel version is so big that you may as well have an M4 carbine type weapon or something similar. SBR is the way to go with this gun.

    For what it is, it doesn't seem to do anything better or different. I think it's one of those things, you either think it's really cool and a must have or a definite no.

    The new Sig MPX shows more promise. It's taken an MP5 style gun and made it modern.
