The Kel-Tec CP33 delivers exceptional magazine capacity in the 22 LR platform with its innovative 33-round magazine system. This semi-automatic pistol combines high-capacity performance with the affordability and low recoil of rimfire ammunition.
What Makes This Different
The CP33's quad-stack magazine design achieves 33+1 capacity where most 22 LR pistols max out at 10-15 rounds. The 5.5-inch ported and threaded barrel reduces muzzle rise while providing suppressor compatibility with standard 1/2x28 threading. Unlike traditional pistol designs, the CP33 features a unique operating system that cycles reliably with various 22 LR ammunition weights and velocities.
Key Features
- 33+1 round capacity with proprietary quad-stack magazine
- 5.5-inch ported barrel with 1/2x28 threading for suppressors
- Optics-ready slide with integral Picatinny rail section
- Full-length Picatinny rail on tan polymer frame
- Ambidextrous controls including magazine release and safety
- Fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight
- Lightweight polymer construction at approximately 1.5 pounds
Range performance benefits from the extended sight radius and ported barrel design, which helps maintain target acquisition during rapid fire sequences. The high capacity makes it suitable for competitive shooting disciplines, extended training sessions, and pest control applications. The threaded barrel accommodates most rimfire suppressors, while the dual Picatinny rails accept lights, lasers, and optics without modification.
