Howdy I previously posted this question in the bargain gate by mistake.
Is there any difference between the two guns in this picture. I see the printing on the packaging is different. I would like to know which package is the newer one.
Thanks

One on the right is the old packaging. Do they both have the fibre sights?

Cannot answer for the OP with complete accuracy, but I have received P17's in both packaging and all have fiber optics sights.

Thanks for the info. I guess I should explain.
I had a p17 a couple of years ago it was a bad experience, poor quality control.Gritty trigger/ ton of creep/ hard to cock/ sharp edges everywhere/ breech not cut properly hard to fully seat the pellets. Returned it to the store.
Later I bought a HW40 it leaves me nothing to complain about. I don't see ever selling it.
Reading the good reviews about the P17. And thinking I would try another one. I see both types of packaging being sold.
Wanted the newest version. The one I received looks like the the one on the left. Yes it has the F.O. sights It is way better than the first one. Dare I say a keeper.
