Just bought the best 22lr handgun ever & I own a bunch!

[nammac]

What about subsonics and that Rem Golden b00lit stuff? Mine chokes on both. CCI Minimags are 100% tho

Remington Golden Bullets no problem, all those cheap promo packs from federal and Winchester, et.al. no problems. Never shot subsonics, so no experience there.

You're all experts & have never even seen one. Armchair experts!

I have Ruger 45/22s , S&W 41, & 422s & various others & was still very impressed with the KelTec especially the 2# trigger, the 17 rd capacity, the ability to add a can, the accuracy, 3 mags & the price. Don't knock it till you try it.

I picked up the P17 a few weeks ago for sub $200. The 3-16 round mags, and threaded barrel where appealing to me as a suppressor host. I have taken it to the range half a dozen times and have really enjoyed it each time. Have put about 500 rounds of various ammo types with Zero issues, suppressed and unsuppressed. For under 200 I am very happy with it.

I do not like their mag release I had a PMR 30 and my grip would release the mag occasionally. Gave it away and bought the XT 22mag

The mag release is totally different om the P17.

I do like the ambi-paddle mag release, I wish more manufacturers would offer them.

And that bent plate "slide" is a trip.

My all-time favourite 'just for plinking .22' was a Colt Woodsman made in 1940. I paid £60 for it - that much I DO remember. I sold it to a collector in Germany for £900 when our handguns got banned back in 1997/8. It was the sweetest thing, with a grip that was just so right, if a tad on the small side.

For all you doubters

You CAN NOT find a 22 handgun for 4x the price that will do all this, shoot almost any ammo, comes with a 2# trigger, is this accurate & set up for a can. I like the fixed barrel & think it helps with the accuracy. It weighs 110z & comes with 3 16 rd mags all for under $200.

It's pretty fugly looking but the reviewers seem to like it. This from one of the reviews: "The P17 covered in more bolts than Frankenstein's monster"!

I took many bear with a 45/70 Contendor & many squirrel with a S&W 422. I like handgun huntung. I just bought 2 new 6.5" 454 Casull SS Raging Bulls for $450 ea shipped. They shoot hot or mild 45LC also. Heres a 20 year old Gun Test report saying if you need this much power buy a rifle, it's very funny as now you can buy ammo that goes 2100 fps & 2100 ft pds of energy. They make 2 Geletin blocks jump up dance a jig & end up backwards from where they started in a you tube I'll try to find.

Ahhhh, no. Just no.

 

[Siglvr]

My Browning Buckmark won't shoot subsonic. CCI min-mags 100%. Wish it did both. Thanks for the heads up.

I bought a Ruger 22/45 brand new.
Pimped it out with a red dot, 10 mags.
The mags were loaded twice and shot.
Boring....................boring.............boring
Back in the safe it went.

Exactly the same experience here with a ruger mark III. Absolutely love the looks of it but it was so boring I never shot it again.

I like the Ruger charger shot off the bench with a GSG 110 rd drum $39.95. Nothing more frusterating than than target shooting with a 10 rd mag.

 

[2A2Dend]

Not to derail the topic, but when I can pull down the spring, and literally dump the rounds in a magazine by the brick full, then I'd gain interest.
My Ruger 10/22 sits in the back of my safe waiting for a rat infestation.
At a time, I was into shooting .22's a lot.

[MrMillspecer]

.22s, every one has one, and nobody can hit anything with them?

I was surprised at how many guys cant shoot a .22lr well.

Until i saw them shoot their larger calibers. Then it made sense.


OP Congrats on your new pistols.

 

[Kruel J]

I wonder if it comes with a screw driver.

The mag release is totally different om the P17.

OK now that is much better, hopefully they change to that on the 30 and 33 but that's probably wishful thinking
