It's super lightweight and has great firepower.  But how does that quad stack magazine work with those rimmed rounds?  We took it on several outings to find out...all the way up to 10,500 ft elevation. 

There's really nothing like the CP33 anywhere in the gun world.  Once again KelTec breaks new ground with their designs and does what all the other gun companies should be doing but don't: innovating.  At just 1.5 lbs and possessing an impressive trigger we were taken with the CP33.  It's the Intratec TEC22 that never worked (I owned one!). 

We'll talk about the usual stuff and you'll have a good idea at the end if this is a gun you might want in your inventory.  The POU discussion gets interesting!

KelTec CP33: Must Have .22

Man do I love 22's. The ugliness of this one reminds me of the Beretta u22 neos that I bought. That was a fugly gun. As to the effectiveness of .22 for SD, I thought I read that the IDF stopped using that suppressed .22 for crowd control, because it ended up killing way more people than they expected.

Pedro

Another .22 review. A good day then.

David Gaines

People like to hate on Kel Tech but I think they are the only company who is consistently innovative. Sometimes I will still carry my first gun purchase, the pf9-I’ve had it for 10 years and it still wins the mobility vs firepower game. My truck gun, the Sub2k is one of my favorite guns and the one most of my friends and family want to shoot when I take them to the range.

Cyborg009

When will we hear your rant on the KS7?

Adam Boyd

How are we almost at the end of this bizarre year of lockdowns and riots that caused the run on guns and ammo and the manufacturers still haven't caught up?!?!? If I were a capitalist gun or ammo maker I would take note of the fact that every few years there is a surge in demand and have a freaking plan. Kinda makes me wonder if they don't have a deal with the swamp.

IndianaBen

Afraid to watch. Santa spent waaay too much on some AR builds. Buddy got a P17 recently btw, A+ reports so far. Between these two guns my initial excitement for trying a G44 has flatlined.

T

Nice, might actually pick one up

Sanguine Potato

I recently picked up a CP33, haven't had much chance to shoot but it's a lot of fun and really easy to blow through ammo. I plan to put a red dot and light/laser on it to go coon hunting.

Kyle Soucy

I've been looking to get a 22lr pistol with a threaded barrel and intend to get a silencer for it. I was looking at the S&W MP22 but this is now a contender!

Racing Psychosis

Quirky looking little gun, great view. I'm sticking with my Wrangler cowboy feeling. And at the price point I can have at least two of them and leather holsters.

Robert Walters

I bought this blaster online and came to my FFL dealer with a broken front site. I called keltec and they shipped me a new one without any questions. Great review!

Andrettski

Fun vid guys and fun gun but for $500 and $50 mags it's on my way way back burner. I'm trying to find a Ruger Charger #4938 and accessorize the crap out of it. I've already got the SB Tactical folding brace and Crimson Trace dot and don't even have the gun.

Patrick Brichta

Wicked! I've been on a waitlist for almost a year for one. I really do like kel-tec's ingenuity.

J Ram

Ok kudos to the TNP team on the cinematography of the Colonel shooting starting at 3:18....I almost forgot that I was supposed to be focusing on the gun...almost, lol. Beautiful State sir, and another great GRV.

Todd Strelka

What a cool little gun that's got junk in the trunk with that long beavertail. Kel-Tec is always great at innovation. They are always thinking outside of the box. What a beautiful and epic filming and testing location too. I love how the scenery is always changing and not the same old boring range in the woods on other "gun" channels.

Jerome J

love the testing grounds in this video. The view is insane!

Phill Super

Interesting piece for sure. I would like to see a lanyard slot/pic rail/QD socket on the rear for single point sling attachment. Any thoughts or recommendations for how and where to holster or carry a suppressed 22 (sr22, 22/45, m&p, this guy)?

Hold Fast Joe

I've seen this listed in the wikiarms newsletter few times for arround 490 if I recall. It looks amazing! Funny your comment on winchester 22. I had two boxes of that garbage, I gave it away it made me so mad. I wanted to toss it in a dumpster but decided someone else may have the patience for it. I couldn't even run it through the bolt action savage 22. The extractor wouldn't hold on to it and I had to use a knife to pull case after case. I bought bulk federal, it's fine. Typical one offs but nothing near winchester. In an apocalypse consider a throwing knife before winchester 22.

Phill Super

I sent a suggestion request to Chad for a folding grip for the ksg and ks7 inspired by the fan defense AGF-43s grip to reduce the transport size which would make them a better contender VS the shockwave variety options.

The Nutnfancy Project

Good to see they hooked you up. They have been great with me in the past when things busted...even before Nutnfancy days.

The Nutnfancy Project

Totally understand that and you have a smart system. The Ruger 10/22 is a machine.

The Nutnfancy Project

THanks, I do like showing you guys around where we're shooting from time to time.

The Nutnfancy Project

Thanks brother. Yep we got out with this one to some great places. With the Wolverine you'll see more of that! "that's got junk in the trunk with that long beavertail." Agreed, it's funky looking.

The Nutnfancy Project

Check out large vertical carry nylon hunting holsters. Cabelas, Sportsman's Warehouse, Gunnies, etc carry them. Take it to the store and dry fit it. You'll find one that works I bet and they're cost effective.

The Nutnfancy Project

Thanks JOe, great job providing the link. Of course we kindly ask you check Gunnies first ;-). They're probably sold out there though. Everything so scarce right now.

Hold Fast Joe

Yup, I wouldn't link to anyone usually except like you said, gunnies probably out of stock. I tried to call gunnies about a month ago for some stuff, couldn't get anyone to answer. I'm not local and I get it, customer in store is more likely a buyer than a ring on the phone so I get it. I've bought some things from gunnies in years past, 2020 just sucks

Derek W Tiller

crazy light weight! it weights as much as a ruger mark IV 22/45 lite and holds 3X's the ammo.

Cesar C

This looks awesome! Thanks for the review. I've been curious about this one. Unfortunately can't get one out here in Colorado.

Trevor

Awesome review I’m a big fan of my KelTec p17 and wanna pick this up as well can’t decide what I need first this or a 4.5” .22 AR upper

Guy Actual

Ok, If there is a stimulus check, I'm getting two! .22lr x 2 = 44 magnum, right? Well, even if not, I have a holosun 510, 515 or (lol) a PA lvpo to put on it! (Most likely a simple pistol red dot would be more realistic) Maybe an Aimpoint ACRO, which cost more than the pistol. Regardless, I'm getting one as my only other 22lr is my 10/22, which I also love.

Rick Grad

I’ve been looking at these for months, but none of my friends have one that I could take out for the day. I read the title of the video and bought one...before watching the video. I’ve been a TPNr long enough to know if you guys like it, I’ll probably like it. I’m also the dork that loved the full feature reviews, but I get that you don’t have time to do those often. Merry Christmas.

Steve Ouellette

Love my woodsman. Our rulers in Colorado won’t allow us to have that magazine.

Douglas Pack

How long till Ruger steals this and makes a better version ?? 🤣🤣

Greg Weber

Transitional Chinese government....so it’s not just me then .....

Red dog 1

TD I love it when you are there to throw your two cents in. Yeah it wouldn’t surprise me if the Chinese had troops here in three years. They own our trillions of dollars in debt. They eventually will come to collect.

Beck

You are right when you talk about how KelTec is one of the few companies in the industry that is truly innovating. There are even leaked images of yet another new gun from KelTec called the P50 that takes P90 mags.

Lynn E Fite, Col (r)

I tried Winchester M22, worked so bad in my 10/22 and M&P 15-22, I gave the range officer the 3 bulk boxes. Love kel-tec: own a CMR and PMR, once broken in they just cycle CCI FMJ

Will Teasle

Buffered for an hour. Had to give up. I’ll wait for you to post this to YouTube.

Spenser Weese

Love a .22 GRV. .22 is more relevant now than ever! Thanks dude.

Cyborg009

That happens a lot on the first day these are put up.

Cyborg009

I have two first series, a Target and Match Target. There's nothing cooler in .22lr semi-autos.

Lon N

The P17 has a lot more "practical" interest for me, but i damn sure want a CP33 now...thanks Nutn, Sean & TD...more wanna syndrome.

duroSIG556R

You really ought to check out the Taurus TX22.

JHolmes2070

I'll stick with my Smith and Wesson or a Ruger. I won't give KelTec any of my money, too many poor designs and QC issues.

Harley

I would have to disagree with your comments.....Many other firearm companies are innovating (Sig & Taurus for example)

Anthony Schaad

soo gotta pic one of those up ! Course the probability of me finding one is zilch lol

David Gaines

None are pushing the envelope and redesigning the concept of what a gun is, how it functions and it’s overall system like Kel Tec. If you are suggesting the “revolutionary” Sig p365 (full disclosure-I love the p365, it’s my primary carry) as evidence of great innovation, check out the Kel Tec p11. Same size. Same concept. Same magazine size and capacity. On the market in 1995. Certainly the p365 is better but it’s “game changing” status was done by Kel Tec during Clinton’s first term in the White House. I was in Kindergarten. My daughter is now in kindergarten and we are raving about the same idea, size and capacity when it was made available nearly 3 decades ago by Kel Tec.

Tacticaldoodle

I still have no idea Wth it's all about. I hear people mention chinese winter practice maneuvers in canada but I haven't seen what they're doing or how many. Kinda weird how close they are after those leaks happened. Maybe that's the upside of inflation, our debts will be much cheaper in Zim dollars!

Daniel Herb

That's a cool little gun. I'd rock one to take care of those pesky rats on the ranch.........

Craig

Would like to see this reviewed along with the Ruger Charger 10/22 pistol.

Roman Galanti

Hey Nut’n - would you put a brace on it (Rehv Arms adapter with SB 1913 folding brace) or leave it in it’s natural form? Thanks, as always!
