I bought one of these 2 weeks ago on amazon for 39$. Best money ever spent.Within 48 hours I had pulled mine apart, looked at every trigger part. Decided it was good enough as is and left it. Only change I made to mine was to drift out the small pin in the trigger guard, remove the lever and spring that makes the safety automatic. Drifted the pin back in minus those 2 parts. Safety still works, but it is 100% manual now. I no longer have to remember to push it off for every shot.FYI for you fat fingered guys, a pellet pen and some dremel time may help. Currently I'm using a piece of an old radio antenna that .177 pellets will slide down. Just cut the length, deburred, and about 3" long. It is simple, fits in the pellet tin, takes up less desk room than the pellet pen.
Not for nothing but both of our P-17 love Beeman and Daisy wadcutters.

I received my P17 this week and the rave reviews are right. It's not a complaint but an observation the gun is really toy-like it feels like they spent $26 making it. From what I've read it shoots like guns costing 10x as much. Just don't expect it to feel like it. I bought the combo with the red dot sight but I think I'm going to take it off. The stock sights are really good. Enlarging the hole and using a pellet pen to load is a must do mod if I'm going to enjoy shooting my P17Do any of the other Beeman pistols share the single stroke pneumatic power plant?
I agree the included red dot is garbage. I paid $8 more to get it figuring it had to be worth $8, I was wrong.
very cool, its the best pistol going for under 230 bux for sure. Question, do you think there would be any interest in a multistroke conversion kit that gets 625 fps off 3 strokes?
