Goodbye Kel Tec P17, ,Not Going To Miss It

I have the exact same P17. Put about 300 rounds through mine with various ammo types, and zero issues. I bought the red dot slide and enjoy that too. In many ways it is not as good as the Taurus and Walther options, but dang it weighs nothing! Even with a kydex holster and a couple extra full mags in a pack, you don't notice the weight - it's crazy light, I had a 2nd gen sub2k and put a bazillion rounds through that and even with my lame attempts to pimp it out had had zero issues. Have a KSG that I love and the only issue I have with that is a version of short shucking, You have to work the action like you mean business. Had a PMR and sold it, because I got a CMR, Zero issues with either of those. Only thing I have had issues with on Kel Tecs is my P32. Every once and a while I have gotten the dreaded .32 ACP rim lock, which pretty much disables the firearm. With the P32, I suspect the rim lock may have very well been my loading technique, So maybe I'm just lucky, but I have not really had issues with Kel Tec firearms personally. I enjoy Kel Tec's innovation, but I understand that they are not for everyone. Love your videos Mark, please keep 'em coming , Sorry your P17 did not work out for you,

There are lemons at times. I have had several the most were Taurus. That's why I only have 2 a TX22 and 865 revolver. It's a bummer my P17 has been great and Buffalo has had one that's been good. Just the way it goes it sucks though

Sometimes you just gotta let 'em go.

Did the same thing with a Taurus spectrum 380 several years ago. Got what I could out of it then took the girls out to Red Lobster. Did not miss the gun one bit. Lol.

I don't blame you. The very first gun I ever owned, a Christmas gift from my parents, was a Marlin Model 81TS that would repeatedly jam. My father sent it in to be fixed, and their solution to the problem was a violation of the Marlin Safety Code. So he returned it, got his money back, and then he and I looked at other .22's together. Ultimately we liked a Winchester 9422 that is a joy to shoot.

That sucks , it's sounds like a lemon. It happens in everything, got bearings the one time to set up a rear end and they weren't the correct diameter, all the ones were off. Went somewhere else and got the right diameter , same brand

Mine eats everything you put in it !!!!

Traded mine in at the lgs. No regrets.

I have an old Charter Arms AR-7 that is as equally unreliable as the P17. CCI Stingers was the only thing that was promising regarding performance and even then it was maybe only 60% of the time. Everything else was a jammomatic like every other round.

To bad it doesn't run for you buddy.

👍👍

Was looking at those but they ain’t right for suppressed, with the PSA deals on the Taurus it’s hard to beat $219 and a 3 mag rebate!

Lemons happen move on and keep up the good fight

I have a Gen.1 and a Gen.2 Sub-2000 both have been back to Florida several times n each time they said something was out of spec .. like wth ?? no more KT's for me MB .

Man I would've give $150 for it. 🤷🤷. I got one and it's a 17 round TACK DRIVER !!!!

Your buddy "knows" how to fix the issue's. He's gonna get a new pistol for $75.

I enjoy your videos very much. Too bad about the Kel Tec I've never owned a Kel Tec.

Wow ... YOU Deleted my comments

I have 3 never the first problem

Since hi point is an upgrade to kel tech, what is the point...................
