Price is as good as any online dealer.This is an overachiever firearm, for the money. Light, reliable, threaded muzzle, decent trigger, w/3 mags.

Academy P-17 sale

Heck of a bargain! We purchased one at the beginning of the year, and I have to say that I cannot remember a more surprising (in a good way) firearm purchase. For those that are not familiar with this pistol - it has a very light trigger pull. Surprisingly light, actually. Accuracy and reliability is both quite good. It also doesn't gum up as quickly as many other .22 semi-autos. Probably because both sides of the slide are open, so powder debris just gets ejected better. However, this also means that it isn't a very good suppressor host as the back-pressure spits out a lot of still burning bits of powder onto the shooter's hands. Still though, it is a great little plinker.

I ended up getting one myself. I've only test fired it briefly since picking it up but it has been good so far. It is relatively moderate in size and very light weight. What I really like is that the light weight makes the recoil more snappy than a typical .22LR pistol so it has more of a feel of shooting a larger caliber handgun which to me makes it good as a practice gun. You have to do the same types of things to compensate and re-acquire aim point and such.
