I wanted to post this under P17 but there does not seem to yet be a heading for that gun. I have watched several full test of this gun on youtube and it has been getting high praise. I had been bugging my local gun store for several weeks and yesterday they finally received 3 P17s. I had traded my PF9 for a Ruger Mark II a while back and like it a lot. A 9mm had been too hard on my old 83yr hands and the 22lr was much easier to load the mags (using a speed loader) and rack the chamber. But the long barrel Ruger Mark II is certainly not a good conceal carry weapon. So, I thought the P17 might be just what I could best use. Well, I purchased 2 of those P17s my dealer received, one for my 78yr old wife and one for me. (We both have FL conceal licenses). The cost was a good deal more than the factory suggested price, but that is just the way the market is today. Ammo is even worse. But to have a 17 round conceal carry weapon that weighs less than 1 lb fully loaded, is very easy to load (I also have a speed loader for the mags for this gun), is very accurate with it's optic front sight, and comes with 3ea mags is perfect for me. Today I put 88 rounds through mine and wife put 17 through hers. (I have a firing range in my 4 acre yard so I just walk a few yards from the house and shoot whenever I like.

And yes, I debated the stopping power of 22lr hp, but feel any time 17 rounds hit someone in the face, they will be stopped. And yes, at 25 feet I can put 17 rounds in the diameter of some ones head, weapon right out of the box, as my first practice with this little gun showed today. (Recently, the first female police officer was killed on duty in many years and her partner critically wounded when shot with a Glock 22lr hand gun.).

Try here P-17 Pistol there is a lot of info and discussion about the P17. Like you I have 2 of them. Bought it for the light weight also and because it a lot of value for the money.

I purchased my second P17 today, Oct 21, from my LGR! I purchased my first P17 several months ago and it was my very first .22 hand gun! I am 77 years old and I am and have been a Glock Guy for well over 20 years but I decided to switch to the .22 because of the very high price of 9mm ammo. I shoot once a week at my LGR and so far, I have shot almost 1000 rounds through this P17 without a flaw, except for 2 failure to fire dud rounds! I liked this gun so much that I purchased another one today and I also recently purchased a Beretta Bob Cat in .22LR and a Rossi RS22 Rifle in .22LR! I love my .22's! 😎

Was looking for the P17 discussion. I picked one up about 6 weeks ago. What a shock. Dusted it off and went to the range with 5 magazines. Shot all 5 16 rounds each. One fail to fire. Attributed that to the ammo. No other issues. I have done that every week since. Never an issue. Went through 500 rounds of Remington bulk ammo. Just that one ftf in all 500 rounds. Also never cleaned the pistol. This thing is amazing. No real build-up of crud anywhere. I attribute the clean gun to the open discharge area on both sides when ejecting. Also, this slide, with virtually no weight, cycles easily. To say I am impressed is really an understatement. Just another Keltec product that just works. I have a Sub 2000 in 9mm with a multi-mag option. I am using S&W magazines. This gun also has had zero malfunctions with over 500 rounds through it. All I have done to this gun is a buffer pad and tube sleeve. Added the notch MCarbo flip sight. I am a sold fan of Keltec.

As a new member that recently ordered a P17, I was curious as why a P17 sub forum was not listed. I know they are very popular and been on the market for a couple of years now.
