Frequently Asked Questions
Kel-Tec P17 for sale
Is the KelTec P17 any good?
Opinions split on the P17. It's affordable around $241, lightweight, and easy to shoot, but ammo-picky with mixed reliability reports. Some shooters report flawless performance; others cite frequent malfunctions. Best suited for backpacking or casual plinking rather than serious self-defense use.
What are the common problems with the KelTec P17?
Common issues include stovepiping, failure to eject, and feeding failures. The extractor can lock up or develop burrs. Ammo sensitivity is notable—higher-velocity rounds improve reliability. Proper lubrication and break-in help, though some units require factory service or replacement springs.
Is the KelTec P17 drop safe?
Yes, the P17 includes a drop safety that prevents the firing pin from striking the primer unless the trigger is pulled. It also has a manual thumb safety and a loaded chamber indicator.
What are the P17's pros and cons?
Pros: lightweight, compact, affordable under $200, high capacity, pleasant ergonomics, good for plinking. Cons: ammo picky, early reliability issues including feeding failures and stovepiping, though many resolve after break-in. Better suited for training than carry. Performance varies by unit.
Is a P17 good for self-defense?
.22 LR lacks stopping power compared to 9mm or .380, making it marginal for self-defense. The P17 is reliable and easy to shoot, but most experts recommend larger calibers. If it's your only option, it beats nothing—but consider alternatives if possible.
What is the best ammo for a Kel-Tec P17?
Use high-velocity .22 LR ammunition—the P17 requires it to cycle reliably. CCI Mini Mags and Aguila Super Extra perform well. Avoid standard-velocity or subsonic rounds, which cause feeding failures. Brass-cased, SAAMI-spec ammo in good condition is recommended.
How reliable is the KelTec P17?
Reliability varies between individual guns. Some shooters report flawless performance while others experience feeding failures and stovepiping. The P17 is ammunition-sensitive and benefits from a break-in period and regular cleaning. It's better suited as a range pistol than a primary carry weapon.
What holster fits a Kel-Tec P17?
Several manufacturers make holsters specifically molded for the P17. Rounded Gear offers an IWB Kydex option with adjustable cant and retention. Other brands produce belt-slide and inside-waistband designs. Look for holsters explicitly labeled P17-compatible to ensure proper fit and retention.
How many magazines does a Kel Tec P17 come with?
The Kel-Tec P17 comes standard with three 16-round magazines. With one magazine loaded and a round chambered, you have 17 rounds ready to fire, and 48 rounds total across all three magazines.
How many rounds does a KelTec P17 hold?
The P17 holds 16 rounds in its magazine. With one round chambered, you get 17 total rounds ready to fire. Kel-Tec ships the pistol with three 16-round magazines, giving you 48 rounds across all three magazines.
Is the Kel-Tec P17 suppressor ready?
Yes, the P17 ships with a threaded barrel (1/2×28) and is suppressor ready out of the box. Its light recoil cycles reliably with most .22 LR suppressors. Verify your specific suppressor's compatibility and thread pitch before purchasing.
Is the Kel Tec P17 accurate?
Yes, reviewers consistently report the P17 is accurate for its price and size. Performance depends heavily on ammo selection—high-velocity rounds like CCI deliver better results than standard or subsonic loads. Accuracy improves after a break-in period. It performs well for plinking and casual shooting.
Where is KelTec P17 made?
Kel-Tec manufactures the P17 at their facility in Cocoa, Florida, USA.
