Benjamin P17, Still Made ?

I notice that Walmart does not have this gun anymore and other retailers have it in short supply ... Is Benjamin discontinuing this gun.

Do you mean the Beeman P17?

If you are seeking the popular bargain priced single stroke pump pistol it's a Beeman P-17 not a Benjamin.  As far as I know it is still available though there may be no super deals running at the moment.

Yes, it was a long day yesterday, it's a Beeman for sure ;- )

I shot it today and for some reason my accuracy was not up to snuff. I'm heading out to work tomorrow to see how she shoots in our warehouse. I have 20 yards to see how she does, I'm hoping for smaller than a tennis ball groups. I'm using Crosman Premier 7.9gr pellets so we shall see.

Crosman pellets are harder, (with antimony), be sure to try some softer pellets. I have great luck with Spanish made Daisy wads.  JMHO

My P17s seem to like wadcutters.
RWS Basic 7.0 gr.
excite ECON II
The Spanish Daisy Flat-Nosed are a little hard to load.
Sig Wadcutters, I think they are 8.19 gr?
Try several types of pellets.
NONE of my many guns shoot good with Crosman Premier 7.9gr pellets.
