I was lucky enough to snag a CP33 at my LGS a few weeks back. Finally took her to the range and ... I LOVE IT.
I had NO issues. I went through only 3 magazines worth (99 rounds) and loved every minute of it. The trigger is nice, light and crisp. The spent shells were ejected with force.
I didn't try the iron sights, but rather used a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot, which dialed in quickly. I shot off-hand (no rest) and the accuracy was at least as good as my Ruger 22/45 Mark IV.
Now, the only potential source of frustration could possibly be loading the magazines. They made of clear plastic and are windowed for a reason. A few times, the quad-stack cartridges did not maintain the zig-zag pattern as I loaded the mags. In each case, I was able to correct the cartridge seating within the magazine without emptying the mag. I used an implement (pen) to shove the offending cartridges "in-line" and then gave the mag a gentle "tap" on the table to cause the cartridges to re-align. After one or two tries, they popped back into the 'zig-zag' pattern.
I would advise inspecting each and every magazine load to be sure of a correct quad-stack load. Doing this made my first range trip very successful.
