Terry Nelson 01.24.19
Kel-Tec continues to bring new and innovative firearms to the gun world. At the 2019 SHOT Show Kel-Tec unveiled two new offerings, one that will appeal to the defensive minded crowd and the other for those who enjoy rimfire competitive shooting. The Kel-Tec KS7 and CP33 were on full display at the show.
Kel-Tec’s new KS7 bullpup design is essentially a thinned down single magazine tube version of the Kel-Tec KSB twin tube shotgun. Overall the KS7 is thinner and lighter and sports a fiber optic front sight that is easily seen on the front end of the carry handle atop the gun. Loading the KS7 is a bit different as one would expect from a rear loading bullpup design.

Next we looked at the Kel-Tec CP33 pistol. This .22LR comes with a 33 round flush fit magazine and is designed as a completion pistol. It sports fiber optic adjustable sights and an AR style charging handle.
Other features and specifications include:
