A gun that really brought the firepower was the KelTec CP33. KelTec believed the pistol market needed an update, so they created the CP33. The CP stands for Competition Pistol, and it holds a jaw-dropping 33 rounds. The gun is equipped with a Picatinny-style top rail and a Magpul M-LOK slot built into the dust cover, making the CP33 ready to accept your favorite optics and accessories. It also has a threaded barrel for those who prefer to run their .22s suppressed. The gun is ambidextrous and has a safety lever on both sides of the grip, a heel catch magazine release and a unique charging handle located at the back of the receiver. The CP33 has adjustable fiber optic-sights and is obviously optics ready. It was nice to be able to run this gun without having to constantly stop and reload magazines. Overall, the gun performed well.

Couldn’t Get Through A Full Mag
I had no luck with this pistol. The biggest issue is the magazine design. The 22 WMR needs to be stacked perfectly or it will get stuck on the round below it. I had seven CP33 mags and could only shoot 2-3 rounds before I had some sort of stoppage with the pistol, on every mag. Keltec or some other company sells a mag loader to help alleviate this issue but I still had the same problem. Additionally, trying to load 33 WMR rounds into the mag will most likely dent some of the very thin brass that this ammunition has making for an extremely frustrating experience.
Finally, the pistol itself is a Keltec. Not very ergonomic, unrefined, with poor controls. I don’t know how accurate it is because I spent so much time trying to just get it to run. The price is way too high for this plastic shell that thinks it’s a gun.
I guess the only bright spot would be the trigger. It seems fine, but I don’t know how much it matters when everything else is so wrong.
If you really want a 22 WMR pistol, go with the Walther WMP or look at anything that shoots 5.7x28 instead.
