@jameswilson4732 Mine is 100% reliable. Try the American Speedloader for both, it's a game changer. It loads the rounds precisely and quickly. Loading the rounds is 95% of people's problem with both firearms. Even as careful as I was loading, I would get jams sometimes, but as soon as I got this loader it was 100% reliable magazine after magazine. The PMR 30 is my field gun here on the ranch and I have dispatched many a snake and critter with it. I promise you will not regret it. As far as my "it will never happen" statement, I was referring to 5.7 catching on and that ammo getting cheaper. It's a great round but will never replace .22 or .22 magnum for what they're intended for, but it would be a nice addition to that line up. The 5.7 round by nature and being centerfire will never be cheaper, but hopefully the price does come down some. As far as rimfire reliability, out of the thousands and thousands of rounds I've shot over many years, the reliability has been 100%. I've heard that before, but never experienced it myself.
I had several jams and misfires on my new P17, and was disappointed because my friend recommended this as a reliable firearm. I brought it to the KelTec factory not far from my house, and the folks there were as friendly as could be. They replaced the main slide spring and made several adjustments, all of which they documented. They made the repairs under warranty and sent it back to me at no cost, all within a week. I could not be happier with their prompt service. Since its repair, my P17 has been 100 percent reliable and never jammed or misfired after an entire box of 500 Remington Thunderbolt high velocity rounds. Even standard velocity Federal rounds fire every time. I have this ammo because, if you remember, it wasn't long ago when we had few choices of what was in stock. The gun is comfortable to hold, easy to shoot and accurate enough to keep a three inch pattern at 50 feet.
I've been using one for over a year. It is so light, you do not feel it on your side. It shoots and shoots well and I love the sights. I like the mag release. I carry it with me whenever I go hunting or in the woods. I have nicer-looking ones but none that I enjoy carrying or shooting more. I did polish the sides of the "sheet metal" top and re-blued it. It had tool marks from when they stamped it out. It is a porcupine slayer.
I've had mine for 6 months. Shoots well. Is light in the hand. Simply a great 22 LR handgun. I ordered the red dot slide and have been practicing for 2 months with it. The red dot makes it all that more accurate that distance. It is a definite keeper for my collection
I got mine about a year ago for 225.00 in tan. Runs everything well. Like it being light weight and with the polymer not much to rust . It's my hunting backup , truck , , snake, everything pistol. Fairly accurate for cheap .
The local shops around me sell them for around $250 out the door. During the coof, they were like $350 plus. Keltec prices fluctuate more than any other "budget" firearms on the market. One year, everyone hates them and sit on shelves below or at msrp, then the next year you can't find them except from scalpers.
I just carried mine the other day under a Hawaiian shirt, didn't even feel it. Quite a difference from my Glock 30 SF in .45 ACP! 17 rounds of CCI Mini-Mag gives me confidence that it is adequate for most of what I'd encounter.
@@kasonallen168 I'll never understand people that go around spewing such hyperbole haha. I assume you've had a bad experience and it's scorned you. I've had a couple before with other manufacturers, namely Kimber.
I bought a couple of these, super light everyday carry with 2 spare mags. lets me hit the range once a week whenever I want to, and not worry about picking up casings, etc like my more expensive guns. ammo is cheap, mags are cheap, I think its a great deal. its super fun to shoot and pretty accurate.
we use one of these as a rental at the gun range i work. its been more reliable than a g44 . its a great gun for the money. we beat the heck out of it and it just runs without cleaning
Kinda reminds me of the Remington Nylon 66 in concept. The steel to polymer ratio is pretty wild. I'm also not too put off by the number of screws holding the two halves together so long as they're solid, which seems to be the case. Sub-$200, honestly not a huge investment. So, even if it's not for you, you're not into it with a ton of money. Definitely worth consideration.
Bless your heart. Like the way it blew up in Scooth hands.love to see you laughing after getting one in the eyeball. Think about that😮 @@kasonallen168
@@kasonallen168 one 22lr to the head is completely lethal. Works on cows. It works on humans. Do not doubt the 22lr. Federal punch does 12-18 inches of penetration
I purchased one of these a little more than a year ago and have shot close to 3000 rounds with it without any issues. In fact time saving up to buy a new one lol.
IN GENERAL, the firearms/target ammo industry has tried to keep prices low. Good on them for doing their part to help customers through inflation. Taurus is one of the companies that has tried to keep their prices from over-inflating.
You wont be sorry..... a few of my associates and I all bought one to see how many rounds to wear it out or break it. More fun to shoot than it should be!
Feels so cheap, but runs so well. Picked up 3 more mags from keltec on a deal they were running. Beat of their own drum😅. This made me really want to try their 9mm they came out with after.
The great thing about this Kel Tec is that its already ugly and cheap so you don't have to worry if it gets scratched up and can just just enjoy it anywhere without babying it. I know the TX22 is like a more traditional 9mm, but they've had some problems with the front part of the slide that comes down to retain the recoil spring assembly cracking and even breaking off because its made of aluminum and can suffer from metal fatigue sometimes. Glad that Kel Tec went with a steel slide assembly that looks about an eighth of inch thick which will never get fatigued from the forces imposed on it from a 22 LR round. It also has a fixed barrel which is simple and tends to be more accurate.
I love mine. However mine had a loooooooooooooooooong break in period. It jammed all the time. Finally I put copper based antiseize grease in the moving parts then it started to function. Now it runs fine with just regular gun oil.
Great video as always , keep up the great work. I have the P17, PMR30, and SUB 2000 and haven’t had any issues at all with any of them. Looking forward to getting a CMR30 soon.
Thanks Don!! My friend has two of these for the very reason you mentioned. Cheap, light, high round count, easy to carry while hiking out out in the woods so he loves them. I personally have the PMR 30 because I wanted a 22 wmr pistol and it is so much fun to shoot. 16 + 1 = 17 dogs barking while trying to make a video.
The fact that it’s so light weight and nearly all of the energy goes to the round (not operating a heavy slide) is just amazing!!! I’ve tried, and hated, every 22 auto I’ve ever tried. I NEED this in my collection now!!!!
I got a P17 with the red dot for an amazing deal awhile back. It's very fun. My only ding on it is to lighten the slide they cut out metal which causes it to resonate after each shot. Think AR15 "sproiiinng", but worse.
The light weight would make it a bit better for training. A heavy steel .22 LR pistol would have NO recoil which is bad for training. Having at least some muzzle rise because of how light it is, is a good thing for training.
The P17 is excellence for concealed carry with a kydex holster. The pistol is very accurate, light, high capacity, thin, and thus ideal with a kydex holster for concealed carry.
@@therealgeorgegervinjr.2364 Well, mine is very reliable and surprisingly accurate. Actually, more accurate than my Taurus and Ruger. Now, if you don't mind wasting more money so you can brag, it will get you a much heavier .22 that is less concealable.
Got mine just about when they first came out (I Love it). The gun eats everything I've put through it, and guaranteed for life. My carry ammo for it is Winchester Silvertip Segmenting HP 37g ammo great stuff. Fantastic video 👍.
Well I bought this pistol and was pretty excited to take it to the range two nights ago. To my surprised I had three jams at the ejection port, two no fires ,because the safety would move about an 1/8 " up from my thumb touching it. I went through a box of Aguila 38 grain 250 rounds that I split between the Kel-Tech and the Taurus TX22 that I bought. I had no jams or any issues with the Taurus. They both shot extremely well but that sort of pisses me off when my brand new gun jams three times the first time ever shoot it. I'm going to give Keltech a call today and see how the customer service is. It's a fun little gun but that right there shows me that I don't want to carry that pistol for self-defense unless they can do something at the factory to to remedy this.
I herd they where junk and won’t survive 1000 rounds, but I’m interested now , keltek is one of those brands you either love them or hate them. But for 200 bucks it’s cheap enough to buy and test for myself, great video and keep it up
whoever you heard that from is an idiot,there the best 22lr pistol on the market bar none and there almost indestructible I have one and it eats the hottest hyper velocity ammo I can get,stingers,fed punch,Aguila super maximum,not a single problem yet,also eats up bulk ammo without problems
Just bought one because of all the hype I haven’t shot it yet but I love the way it looks and feels in my hand, I paid 179 bucks out the door you can’t beat it!!!
I've bought 7 so far. I've gifted all but two. Love them. Of those two, one is used for training people and one is a fun gun. The trainer has a bunch of rounds down range.
My Ccw weapon! Sub $200 only in you can find it at that price. I paid 240 for mine. I qualified for my Ccw license on this gun. It even cycles sub sonic ammo.
Got one of these, gotta say, it runs. I think it's only jammed once. My problem came with the sights. They got bounced way out of alignment and now I need to zero the thing havent got around to it.
Well if it works it works, I've heard some good and some not so good. 3 yrs ago I got the Taurus tx22 it ran good for about 400 rds , then started key holing , i cleaned the barrel good and noticed the bore had almost no lands grooves , still key holing, so i got a new barrel from Taurus, it looked the same , very slight groves , almost a smooth bore. Very disappointing i ready like it, the ergonomics are great. Finding a good reliable 22lr is not so easy, for $200 the keltec has got to be the lowest price on the market. I did get the Beretta M9A1 (FSR) 22LR $350 so far its very accurate , i really like it very nice. Thanks Don
I have one of these. Like it. Don't even know you carry it. Now I dont edc it since I usually pocket carry a ruger lcp 2 in my cut off jeans. Shoots fine with my ammo. Usually cci mini Mags or stangers.
Great video as always! I've been mulling over picking a P17 up, but now I really want one. A little off topic, but could you tell me what brand and model watch you're wearing in the video, i really like it.
I just picked up my Kel-Tech P17, and I have to say, it's worlds better than the Bersa Thunder 380 I used to own. I didn't hate the Bersa Thunder 380, it's just that it has very bad recoil when I used it. My Kel-Tech P17 literally had no recoil. If I find a Bersa Thunder 22 in a good price point, I'll buy it too.
It‘ll be my bedside gun and also my lay-z-boy reclining chair gun when I am 80-85+ years old. Easy on the body and accurate with poor vision. Add a light/laser combo and you‘ve got the perfect handgun for the late years in life to greet any unwanted guests.
I just ordered one from PSA. They are on sale for Valentines Day ❤! It’s a gift to myself because of a shoulder injury 😢. I want to do some shooting but I’m working my 9mm will aggravate my injury. I’m hoping an inexpensive.22 like this will give me a chance to shoot without messing my shoulder while I am healing. Thanks for your reviews and tips. Wonderful channel!
My humble opinion... The P17 is the future of handgun design, modern, simple, inexpensive, fantastic review and discussion
When 5.7 catches on and gets less expensive you will never see another .22 pistol design

Well if it works it works, I've heard some good and some not so good. 3 yrs ago I got the Taurus tx22 it ran good for about 400 rds , then started key holing , i cleaned the barrel good and noticed the bore had almost no lands grooves , still key holing, so i got a new barrel from Taurus, it looked the same , very slight groves , almost a smooth bore. Very disappointing i ready like it, the ergonomics are great. Finding a good reliable 22lr is not so easy, for $200 the keltec has got to be the lowest price on the market. I did get the Beretta M9A1 (FSR) 22LR $350 so far its very accurate , i really like it very nice. Thanks Don
Love the paddles on the PPQ M1. Got to get one of those!
I found the slide release works very well as a left handed sholter
I use cci mini mags in my semi auto 22’s and any bulk ammo in my 22 wheel guns
I have one of these. Like it. Don't even know you carry it. Now I dont edc it since I usually pocket carry a ruger lcp 2 in my cut off jeans. Shoots fine with my ammo. Usually cci mini Mags or stangers.
this review made me buy one, i picked it up today
Great review of a good little gun. I loved the bloopers at the end! lol
Great video as always! I've been mulling over picking a P17 up, but now I really want one. A little off topic, but could you tell me what brand and model watch you're wearing in the video, i really like it.
Thanks! Think I'll buy one, especially now that they're running a special on the slide with Crimson Trace red dot, AND 2 extra mags......
Great review. I just ordered one, pick up on Thursday
I just picked up my Kel-Tech P17, and I have to say, it's worlds better than the Bersa Thunder 380 I used to own. I didn't hate the Bersa Thunder 380, it's just that it has very bad recoil when I used it. My Kel-Tech P17 literally had no recoil. If I find a Bersa Thunder 22 in a good price point, I'll buy it too.
It‘ll be my bedside gun and also my lay-z-boy reclining chair gun when I am 80-85+ years old. Easy on the body and accurate with poor vision. Add a light/laser combo and you‘ve got the perfect handgun for the late years in life to greet any unwanted guests.
Say what you want. I love the p17.
I am not an autoloader guy but I kind of want one of those assuming the safety is reliable enough to carry condition one.
I just ordered one from PSA. They are on sale for Valentines Day ❤! It’s a gift to myself because of a shoulder injury 😢. I want to do some shooting but I’m working my 9mm will aggravate my injury. I’m hoping an inexpensive.22 like this will give me a chance to shoot without messing my shoulder while I am healing. Thanks for your reviews and tips. Wonderful channel!
My gun store didn’t have one thanks for the review it must be new thanks for sharing
Great video, information and review, Sootch! I’m going to check one out
As always, enjoy the education sir. Great pistol. Love mine. Thanks.
Kept my interest for the whole video...well done ...16 plus one!
Wow, no recoil at all. Sootch can shoot.
Looks like a good training gun
Unique design is a nice way of putting it.
Just bought one, had it at the range yesterday, shoot😢Remington Copper bullets. 1250fps. had a few feed issues. Gonna try the CCI MINI mags
