KelTec P17 22LR Pistol Review: Feature-Packed, Accurate & Fun to Shoot

If you're in the market for a 17-round, compact .22LR pistol that's feature-packed, then the KelTec P17 is definitely an option for you.

Compact

At less than 14 ounces fully loaded, and barely longer than a dollar bill, the P17 is concealable for pretty much anyone. The threaded barrel, Picatinny-style accessory rail, ambidextrous safety, ambidextrous magazine release and three (3) 16rd magazines come standard. That’s a lot of value added in such a small package.

Accurate

Don’t let the small size fool you. This little pistol is accurate. The trigger, fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight help you extend the P17’s range. It’s a handy little .22LR that builds confidence.

Versatile

Every tool has a purpose and having the right tool for the job sets you up for success. Its size, weight, and caliber are the perfect combination for training new shooters. For more experienced shooters looking to hone their skills, the P17 also is a great training tool for when you’re on a budget.
