Love mine. The rear sight wanted to wander but a quick adjustment and a bit of blue lock tite did it some wonders. I loaded 12 rounds of thunderbolt cheap lead round nose and some CCI shorts to top it off. It ran fine the first time. The dirtier it got the less it would function with shorts. It’s not supposed to function with shorts anyway. After about around 160 rounds, 10 magazines of thunderbolt it wants to fail to extract. Ran a bore snake and a quick brushing with a tooth brush and it was back in action.
My mother in law wants one for her home defense gun. She isn’t a gun person and loved shooting it with CCI Stingers. She has had multiple wrist and thumb surgeries and had issues with all other semi autos of various calibers. Not the P17.
A clean gun, loaded with Quality ammunition will easily put all 17 shots in a tennis ball group size from 15 or so feet shooting at a steady rate. Slow it down and the group get even better.
Shooting as fast as I could from that distance I had many bullseye-ish hits, most in center mass and no flyers.
I probably have 1200 rounds through mine right now. CCI mini mag and stingers do really well, Aquila Super(extra) do great, federal, Winchester Remington get less and less reliable.
Extremely easy to take down and clean. The price cant be beat.
