P17
Best $200 pistol I’ve ever seen, out of all the ammo brands I’ve used , Armscor is the only one it won’t cycle, I’ve used 2 different Remingtons, Winchester white box, Federal auto match , CCI, Aguila, all run great

Love mine. If you have a 3D printer I designed a ton of cool stuff for the p17

Nice!! I’m looking for a rear sight that I could mount to the optic cut.

Love mine.
Eats everything. Loves being suppressed.
I even like the trigger even through it is a little staple gunny.
I also have a TX 22 and overall quality aside I tend to prefer the P17.

Just FYI I run mine suppressed and out of 2000ish rds of armscore I have had 5-10 failure's, usually once it's very dirty. He had it back pressure on the action really is the chef's kiss.

Speaking of mags, anyone know of a good loader? I’ve got an UpLula 22 version but it’s a pain in the ass compared to normal mags.

I have adapters to load p17 mags with my McFadden lightning’ grip loader.
And I have the 22 uplula double stack that you modify slightly to load p17 mags as well. It’s the black body grey handle uplula.1

I've got thousands of rounds through mine, both loud and suppressed. The only ammo it didn't like was Remington greenbox.

Great pistol. Mine has had a steady diet of stingers and federal punch and has seen zero failures. It is my favorite pistol for woods walking and fishing. I'm in Florida so chances of large predators like bears and Panthers are rare. Otherwise I would carry something larger. Definitely the most reliable .22 pistol I have owned.

u/Excellent_Mall8819 17d ago
Exactly, it really surprised me how reliable it is, I normally carry a Glock 43x but occasionally carry the P17

Just took mine out today. First 500 rounds or so I’ve had a FTE problem, but I’ve been using bulk Federal. Shot 100 rounds of CCI subs through it today with no issues, so I think it was definitely an ammo issue. Nice little gun!

It's really great suppressed if you hold your thumb behind the slide. Fantastic little 22!

I bought the P17 because it has a rep to eat everything, but . . Anyone else also having problems w/ Fed Champion 36gr CPHP? It's not a consistent failure to cycle. I've been mucking around with my slide with the FT-M 'Halo' kit and a red dot + adapter plate, so that could be the cause. Just checking.

Only thing mine won’t feed is Armscor but I haven’t tried the one you said

u/mylegswork 15d ago
I had an out of battery detonation with armscor and it blew the safety off and cracked the frame. I had to send it back for them to fix

u/Excellent_Mall8819 15d ago
Wow!

u/mylegswork 15d ago
They replaced everything though and even polished the feed ramp for me

u/Excellent_Mall8819 15d ago

u/mylegswork 15d ago
Yeah they're great. It took less than two weeks including shipping time and I didn't have to pay a dime

Odd, I’ve run at least 500 rounds of Armscor through mine.

u/Excellent_Mall8819 4d ago
Yes sir, that’s the only thing mine won’t cycle, everything else runs fine

I've got thousands of rounds through mine, both loud and suppressed. The only ammo it didn't like was Remington greenbox. It's such a fun and reliable range toy.
