I wish a company would step up and make a SSP pistol and rifle that retailed in the $100-150 range. A little more power and a little better quality would be nice.
That's what I was thinking. It would be great to have a solid little plinker in the 450 fps range for a pistol and maybe 550-600 for a rifle.

It would be fine for plinking.

It just wasn't the kind of gun that made me smile when I shot it.
Yep, next time on sale buy 10 or so for $100.
If you want a peppier p-17 get the Zoraki https://maxarmory.com/collections/air-guns/products/zoraki-hp01-ultra-22-black-air-pistol?variant=26141866817 They get a shipment about 1 time a year, so keep watching the site or call and ask when the next shipment is expected.Just had mine out yesterday swapping optics, great variable power barn pester etc. also. Here is mine with its little cousins for a family photo.

That mod don't do anything to lessen the stress to the parts of the gun. It just increases your leverage to reduce the cocking effort.
