Yes the P-17 is totally awesome and just about every airgunner probably has one knocking around in a drawer some where. Now...has any one ever mentioned a QB78 or QB79 to you? That's another secret in the air gun community.
Psssst! don't forget the under $35 plastic Daisy 880 in the department stores that shoots awesome! A few tiny mods and it is a small game getter!
Did a little P17 shooting tonight with my 6 yo son Sean. We emptied our first tin for 2019. JSB 7.3.

Even the dot sight, same thing when rested.coooool im going to either put a small reflex/dot sight on mine or a small pistol scope. today i shot about 20 shots offhand at 10yds, 10 at the snow bank and 10 at a small 1" steel targetthe 10 in the snow only made a hole the size of my finger,and the 10 on the steel were all hits.im really blown away
well, my ultradot threw a tantrum today,kicking and screaming and throwing itself on the floor......until i put it on the p17.using H&N FTT 4.52 ,took a few shots to get it zeroed close,and then at 10yds shot a 3 shot group to see what it could do.............. those 3 shots i could cover with an aspirin,im officially impressed!!!!i gotta go take pics of the target......
ok, went and grabbed the target board that i shot the group on ( pictures or it didnt happen )the bottom shot circled with sharpie was my last shot before the group,added a few clicks of elevation and took 3 more,walked up and really couldnt believe my eyes.group is still a bit left of center but im pleased as can be. "center dot is not a hole"(ibuprofen for size,couldnt find an aspirin lol)shots were taken at 10yds standing offhand using 2 hands,shooting H&N FTT in 4.52 head size.now i cant wait to put a pistol scope on it and see what it can do rested
IMHO the P17 is the best $35 you can spend in the airgun world.
Chris.... welcome to life... lolI have two of Stalwart's massaged jewels and a stock P-17. I have bought and gifted several of them.A holographic red dot makes them one of the best shop/barn pesters around.
