 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in at the range now today. We're looking at the Kel-Tec P 17 They released this within the last year. They announced it a couple years ago. It's a 22 long rifle 16 round mags and a 3.8 inch barrel. Let's go ahead and take a few shots and we'll talk more about the P 17 and there it is ran through all of them some of the feedback that I got was that this little hundred ninety nine dollar MSRP pistol is very reliable and we're gonna check that out today because I have three different types of 22 long rifle, but here it is. It does have some neat features on it One that is not a feature is check out all those bolts. They are all over the place. This thing is bolted together primarily primarily a polymer pistol It does have a fiber optic front sight a rail a single action hammer fired trigger that breaks right at three and a quarter pounds the website says three pounds obsidian three and a quarter and It's a it has a nice feel to it now it does have a let me drop the mag a Hammer fired for a hammer fired gun. It does have an indicator right there It's a pre cocked hammer every time you charge a pistol it pre cocks and it's it's red right there upon shooting it will Go away here is the reset Right there adjustable rear sights a Very lightweight pistol under 15 ounces loaded with a full mag of 16 Simple disassemble gonna show that in a bit Not the prettiest gun with all those bolts in there and everything. It's not it's not what you'd call a real handsome gun But it tends to work at least so far pretty well now This is federal auto match what I was just shooting is Remington golden bullet 22. This is federal auto match I will mention ambidextrous thumb safety ambidextrous trigger guard Magazine release. Let me go ahead and take a few shots here. We'll start with the plate to the left there Six inch and so far so good. I Didn't know what to expect. You know a lot of people said you know for a cheap little gun like that It may be ammo finicky, but so far it hasn't been and that's only been Two mags one of the things that makes it a bit unique is that when you lock the slide back It disassembles using these levers right here. You just push them down and off comes the slide That's the slide right there Everything else is polymer 3.8 inch threaded barrel. It does have a thread protector on there And it also includes a wrench and a thread adapter to run a can And there is the hammer with the paint on the back I'm not sure if the camera will pick that up, but a standard caltech grip Easy disassemble and then you just put it back on in this position Drop that well if I can get that in there. I did not do it. Let me try that again Get it in that position drop and Let me see here it's so easy off-camera one more try It has to be lined up pretty well All right, so I figured out what I did wrong that back rail right there I wasn't pulling the slide all the way past that to slip it on so we're gonna try that again I'm going to put it in this position Take that pull it down and there it is Now I have to say so far the Remington golden bullet and the federal auto match works fine Here we have CCI mini mags 22 Now the full mag you have to push that in it doesn't Well that time it seems like the more I own this gun and the more that I release the magazine a full mag is more likely to drop freely But it seems like the more I do that The more freely the magazine drops. Let's check out the CCI mini mag and we'll see And yep, it ran through so everybody that told me that This gun runs through all types of ammo You are correct and Everybody that told me that it's an ugly gun you also are correct because this thing is Not the the cutest little peach in the collection Loaded down with bolts makes it really an Interesting looking gun it also has a few bolts up top or two of them right there Gives the impression that this is optic ready. It's actually not that just holds everything internally in it's a polymer plate This up here is polymer. It is a very lightweight gun as I mentioned 15 ounces under 15 ounces Loaded with 16 rounds right around 12 ounces loaded or unloaded with just the pistol and the mag I paid 254 this with two mags. It typically comes with three mags I paid 250 for it and I'm pretty happy with it so far Of course, I needed to get it to the range and I showed you how well it it fires You know fixed barrel fixed recoil spring ambidextrous Thumb safety so far not bad But what I'm missing is a limp wrist test to see how well this performs with a Limpy wrist, so let's load it up and we'll check that out So far the reliability has been spot on very happy with it I'm back with Remington golden bullet. We're gonna Check out a limp wrist test one thing I did not do was charge the slide with the slide stop and That doesn't want to work So for some reason that didn't work But let's go ahead and do a limp wrist test and see if this thing passes and if it does I'll be impressed P17 getting it done at the range and it even passed the limp wrist test so I ran 22 golden bullets that are made by Remington. I ran CCI mini mags and federal auto match and the P17 Fed fired it ejected all of them just fine And a pretty accurate gun too. I didn't play with the sights too much after I initially did prior to my table review But for a 3.8 inch barrel MSRP 199 it's currently selling at the time of this recording over $300. I think I mentioned I picked it up used for 250 and It's not pretty But it's got a nice trigger and it fires accurately and fires reliable reliable at least so far So I have to say I think I like it I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do, but I like this pistol so far We'll see I will report if I have any future issues if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share.
