In reply to Geoff PR. Depends on whether you define that as chamber behind the grip (no) or FCG behind the grip (yes, but no more so than a 1911 or Glock).

The guy at Demonstrated Concepts in Colorado put a red dot on one of these, and teaches how to shoot it from the cheek, surprisingly effective. He also does it with a Shockwave. He has videos on the you tube. I thought it looked a bit funky, but tried it with my AR pistol in 350 Legend. Pistol style buffer tube with a foam pad sleeve on it, plus an elastic sling to push against, makes for a surprisingly stable platform.

If they would make this, or the PLR22 in 22 Mag, my wallet would get lighter.

Does it qualify as a bullpup?

I love it. I wish they’d make a centerfire in this configuration, or at least a WMR.

Haven’t shot a CP33, and don’t plan to. I have owned a couple of Kel-Tec firearms, and my overall impression was that the designs were great, and the component quality and manufacturing quality sucked @$$. Took me a month, and nearly double what the gun originally cost, to get my Sub2000 functioning properly. Now it runs great, hasn’t had a failure-to-feed or jam in over 1,000 rounds.

I wish their design crew had a manufacturing crew as good as they are. The Sub2000 is a great PCC design, and can be a great ‘truck gun’, or survival gun, or in your backpack for a SHTF scenario . . . if you spend the money and time to get the damn thing running right. As I bought it, it was a POS . . . with a cool design.

Maybe Beretta could take a look at acquiring Kel-Tec; Beretta could use some innovative designs, and Kel-Tec sure as hell could use Beretta’s manufacturing expertise and quality control!!
