    Does anyone here own or shot a Kel-tec P17?
    Hell, has anyone seen one on the shelf?
    I think I want to buy one, but can’t find them in stock anywhere.
    They MSRP for $199 and are going for $300+ on Gunbroker.

    Gunz are icky.
    I have. Actually have two. One FDE color. The other is OD green.
    Pretty decent little guns. Reliable. Run well on every ammo I’ve put thru them.
    One glaring flaw is the rear sight will not hold zero. I thought about just Loc-tite the stupid thing in place.
    The barrels lead up. About 250-300rds and they need to be scrubbed out.
    Accuracy is meh. Minute of beer can at 50ft. Goes south once the barrel leads up.
    Good training gun. Very light. Nice trigger pull.
    Prices on them are retarded for what they are.
    I’ll sell you one of mine. PM me.

    Rear sights just fall off. Plastic chit wont stay in place.

    Sold it 2 days after I got it.

    Shot ok though.

    Funny I never had that problem with the 32 or p3AT.

    I had two of them, now I am down to one. I love the thing! A little blue loctite on the rear site and that thing has been problem free. I never had a problem with it coming off to begin with, but just wanted to be safe on it since it was just a threaded piece. So far it runs pretty much every ammo I have put through it suppressed and not suppressed. I'd day it is on par or even a little better when it comes to shooting various types of ammo than my Mark3 which is pretty darn happy with almost any type of ammo I feed it.

    I bought one about a year ago and have shot 1000-1200 rounds through it (more than half were suppressed) and only had a few hiccups early on. I carry it in a paddle holster around my ranch because it is so damn light.

    If you are ever in the Lockhart area holler at me and you can come run some rounds through it.
