KelTec’s New .22LR CP33™ Means All-Day Fun at the Range

March 4, 2019 by Sponsored Content

KelTec’s always been known for innovation and fun. Now they’ve taken both of those to the next level with the new CP33™ .22LR pistol that gives you virtually unlimited shooting enjoyment…with less time spent reloading. That’s because the CP33 comes with not one, but two 33-round magazines. That’s 66 rounds of plinking or competition fun … Read more

Gun Review: Kel-Tec CP33 .22LR Pistol

January 24, 2025January 16, 2019 by Jeremy S.

Thirty-three rounds. That’s 33. The Kel-Tec CP33 holds 33 rounds of .22 LR. Unless, of course, you slap on a little magazine extension and load up 50. Fifty rounds in a pistol magazine. A factory magazine. You have my attention. https://youtu.be/GOP7pxFZUHo Boy oh boy is it easy and fun to go through all of that … Read more

New From Kel-Tec: KSG-25, RDB Survival – SHOT Show 2017

January 25, 2017 by Jeremy S.

Ever wish you could load an entire box of 12 gauge into a single shotgun? Well now you can, thanks to Kel-Tec‘s new KSG-25. As the name implies, it’s a KSG that holds 25 rounds of 2.75″ shotgun food. Also newly introduced at SHOT Show 2017 was the RDB Survival . . . This sleek … Read more

New Products From Kel-Tec: Gen2 Sub-2000 and CMR-30

January 26, 2015 by Jeremy S.

The Sub-2000 is a semi-automatic folding carbine that comes with many handgun magazine options, most notably Glock 17 magazines in 9mm. Other 9mm magazine compatibility includes Glock 19, Smith & Wesson M&P, S&W 59, Beretta 92, and SIG Sauer 226. The other chambering is 40 S&W. Oddly, a 45 ACP chambering isn’t available. The 9mm Glock version is a favorite at gun shops, in part because it accepts extended-round magazines. The Cocoa, Florida manufacturer popularized the P3AT pistol, along with other interesting self-defense designs, including the Kel-Tec RFB bullpup in 7.62 NATO.

Kel-Tec has made some pretty significant changes to its folding 9mm pistol caliber carbine, the SUB-2000, now releasing a Gen 2 version. Despite the additional features and upgrades, it’s apparently easier to manufacture and production is doubling, so this truck gun favorite seems to be improving.

Also new and already beginning to ship out is the Kel-Tec CMR-30, the matching carbine to the PMR-30 pistol in 22WMR. I’m excited to get my hands on one of those as soon as possible, as I own a PMR-30 (review here) and six mags, an AAC Element 2 suppressor, and almost 1,000 rounds of .22 WMR so I’m ready to put it to the test! Gen2 SUB-2000 and CMR-30 video tours with Kris from Kel-Tec, plus some photos and highlights follow. . .

New From Kel-Tec: Nothing You Will Ever Be Able To Buy

January 30, 2025January 15, 2014 by ttag

Kel Tec continues to introduce more and more new SKUs to its catalog without ever seeming to devote any resources to actually manufacturing the boatload of products they already claim to supply. The newest unicorn in their lineup is the RDB bullpup rifle, shown here in its steel-and-wood M43 variant. Feast your eyes on it here (if you need to) because odds are you’ll never see one on the shelf of your LGS . . .

Long-Term Gun Test Update: Kel-Tec PF-9.

January 30, 2025January 15, 2014 by ttag

It’s been more than three years since I first reviewed Kel Tec’s diminutive and now somewhat infamous PF-9. My review from November of 2010 was quite favorable, and the PF-9 was my carry gun for the next year. It was a promising little gun once it got broken in, but things started to go wrong after less than six months. I don’t know if my experience is typical, but this gun has completely lost my trust.

New From Kel-Tec: Bigger Magazines

January 17, 2013 by ttag

In what I’d like to think is a nicely-timed FU to Andrew Cuomo (but probably isn’t) Kel-Tec is showing off higher-capacity magazines for their PF-9, P-3AT and P-32 subcompacts. The new PF-9 mag shown above gives you an extra round of 9mm (up to 8+1) and lets you wrap an extra finger around the grip; both of these are good things in my book. It’s available as a whole magazine, or as a 1-round baseplate extension to existing magazines…

Range Report: Kel-Tec KSG Bullpup Shotgun

June 8, 2011 by Ryan Finn

With new manufacturing technology and materials speeding weapons evolution, it’s no surprise that Kel-Tec took another look at the tactical shotgun. Kel-Tec’s KSG Bullpup shotgun stormed the SHOT show like the Red Army into Berlin, championing its 14-round capacity, diminutive configuration and radical ergonomics. Sounds great on paper, but what’s it like in real life? Our favorite Russian émigré Oleg Volk, brought one to the Lucky Gunner Blogger shoot over Memorial Day weekend . . .

Day Two of the Lucky Gunner Blogger Shoot; This is the End My Friends

May 30, 2011 by Ryan Finn

With the lyrics of Jim Morrison echoing in my head, the RSO called the final cease fire at 16:30. The 30-odd [in both senses of the word] gun bloggers assembled on the firing line lowered their weapons. Our weekend of full-auto frivolity had finished. We spent the morning in a pistol class run by Tom … Read more
