Had actually had this bookmarked for when I wanted the next one, or one as a present.
$37.80 shipped ground.

I quoted this older post from June, as it is still valid... I just joined the P17 club by purchasing off the linked site for $36.52.  I'm thinking now I should have ordered two, but I'll wait and shoot it first.

Note:  This is the "No Sight" version meaning no fiber optics... DOH!

That is confusing, but the "no sight " means no red dot sight. The new ones they are selling now all have the fiber optic sights on them. And, welcome to the P17 club.
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

That is good to know, as I googled the No Site variant and all of the images showed the original blade site...  Thanks for the clarification.

Here are the sights on my new one.

I could be happy with those sights...  I watched a boat load of videos about the P17 on youtube last night, and it would seem that most users were quite happy with the platform.  Mine has shipped out, and I expect it on Friday... too bad I will be on a high school band trip this weekend.  I won't get to play until Monday!

My daughter is in the band (9th grade) and I drive the tractor trailer that hauls the equipment to and from the shows... this weekend we are performing in Georgia (Bands of America).  This is a long trip, so I will need Monday and the P17 to relax a little.

I remebe those days . Both of myboys were in the band. Every Friday nite we were on the road gngto a ball game or at home games cooking. I drove the equipment truck. Man that seems like 100 yrs ago. We had a lt of funn back then,I wish my boys were youg again and back in the band at school. Times were a lot better then

Thanks guys, between my daughter and son, I have been driving for the band for 6-years now, and have 3 more seasons to go...

On a related note, looks like tracking has my pistol out for delivery today...WOOT!  I'll try and get it shot a few times this evening, weather provided.

Hi, today I had a bit of a plink with Geko as I usually do, but I then switched to hobby pellets as I've bought a load and dull clunk....no pellet comes out.

The only way it shots is if I force pellet into rifling  >:(

  My P17 is one of my most accurate air guns. Great 5 and 10 meter gun. I never did thank mudduck for putting me on to the Beeman P17. Thanks duck. I have had no troble out of it with any pellet I have shot in it.
