[Last Edit: gunwolf]
I have a TX-22, a GSG 1911 and a few other .22lr pistols...
a few weeks back I bought a P17 for $239 from a local gun shop... since then from day one... went through a box of 500 Thunderbolts and a box of 333 federal, and a misc handful of rem goldenbuletts and sub sonics... it ran everything. I'm probably at about 800 +rounds fired, NO failure to eject, NO failure to feed... I had the usual 10 or so light primer strikes, where I put the cartridge back in the mag and it then fired (sometimes they have to be rotated a bit) I have owned a few sub 2000 rifles but for the most part avoided kel-tec... until now... I'm going this week to buy me another P17 for the wife, and maybe one for my daughter.... what a great design.. only gripe is... I shoot alot without eye protection.. this things spits a bit back at ya. so better cover them ... |

I have one and like it too. Mine also spits quite a bit back at me. That I don't like. My CP33 has been excellent..You should get one.

I don’t notice any more blowback from the p17 than any other pistol. I like mine so much I ordered another one tonight.
 This one has been great. It’s had about 900 rds of bulk pack with no malfunctions other than a few dud rounds. |

 Second one came in. I ran 100 rounds of cci standard velocity through it. Zero malfunctions. All 100 rounds were fired with the suppressor. My buddy was impressed and is ordering one. |

I have 3 of the P17s and they're about the only KT model that I'll recommend. Also have a CP33 which has generally been a jamfest but seems to run better with a can, and is a lot of fun when it works.
The P17s have recently been at historically low prices. |

Thats too bad about your CP33. Mine is one of the most reliable semiauto .22lr that I own. Are you using a mag loader? My p17 is great too. Not one single problem. It does put a lot of debris in your face when shooting suppressed. Thats my only gripe about the pistol. |

What ammo are you shooting in your CP33? If you are shooting CCI SV and loading the magazines correctly, you shouldn’t be having any hiccups whatsoever. |

I saw that ad....shouda bought one from them but i'm 275 miles further south. My tan P17 had a malfunction the other day and i had to send it in to KelTec. I hope they just replace it....cracked frame, blew the safety off, and split the mag after a round went off not 100% in battery. I absolutely love the gun...bought another one in OD Green which received last week. Didn't want to be without one. Probably be a few weeks before KelTec gets back to me on mine. |

I like mine, I carry it around the yard when working in the garden in case I have a chance to pop a squirrel. It works very well with a Sparrow Rimfire can as well. Never noticed any blowback.
Now that I see that they come in desert tan I'm going to need a new one.

I bought one yesterday at the gun store, I’ll be putting the can on it this weekend and see how she runs. I bought it not knowing anything about the gun but I’ve been very impressed with the positive reviews it gets. |

I way overpaid for it before they dropped this most recent batch of them and dropped the prices back down to sub-$200. |

I just bought one for $199 and am looking around for suppressor ideas. What are y'all using?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Brawnydog: I just bought one for $199 and am looking around for suppressor ideas. What are y'all using? CGS Hydra SS on mine. Very happy with the combo because the can is very light, as is the gun. Probably any .22 rimfire can will do it, but weight will be very noticeable on this gun. |
