Beeman P17 Sweet 17 Reviews

Accurate, good trigger, sturdy adjustable sight, power is adequate for plinking and small birds. Doesn’t feel cheap in the hand.

Cocking effort is on the hard side but not unreasonably so for an adult. I’d prefer plain black sights but the fiber optics are good. Gun is relatively thick, fits the hand like about like a Glock does, I’d prefer a thinner grip but that’s personal preference. Gun is ugly in my opinion but after shooting it that doesn’t matter so much.

Bought this on the advice of B.B. Pelletier/Tom from the blog and he made the right recommendation, I encourage any shoppers to go give the blog a read.

Price and ease of operation also easily serviced. Trigger is very good but has a lot of creep before it breaks.

Nothing. For the price it’s tough to beat!

My P17 shoots well with a variety of 7-8 grain pellets but definitely likes the 7.87jsb’s best.

It is easy-to-use, love the automatic safety engagement after loading.

An easier way to load

Great gun, very accurate. Have shot 300 rounds with no problems using scope. Since rear sight broke.

Better rear sight , mine broke after about 50 shots.

Best Buy I have made in many years

Very accurate right out of the package. Solid and well made.

I'd make it easier to load.

Accurate, accurate & accurate. Great sights & trigger. Fairly powerful.

Total bitch to cock & load. Had a lot of sharp edges that needed knocking down on the frame & slide. Not for kids or women as it's so hard to cock.

Use pointed pellets, it'll make loading many times easier.

VERY ACCURATE! Right out of the package. Very reliable.

A bit hard to load the pellet into the breech.

My Beeman P17 gun & kit came today from Pyramid Air. Great service. Fired 12 sighters. It was shooting high, just at the edge of the target. Next 10 shots in photo. Needs some fine adjustments when this high wind stops. The trigger is 2 stage, with creep in the last stage, but its light. After cocking, make sure the hammer has locked the action. Had action pop open on firing for 1 shot.. My fault? Will keep an eye on it. After 50 rounds, not an issue. . Overall, a great gun for the money.

The rib is hard on the hand when cocking. Maybe smooth it out a little? I use a pot holder when cocking.

Weight is good, nice trigger pull, adjustable rear sight. Gave it a 3 for accuracy only because I haven't learned to use the sights yet. I'm new to air gunning and this is a great priced option to start me out. Closing the barrel is a bit hard but as I use it more I expect to get more comfortable with it.

Nothing

If anyone out there has had success with certain pellets, I'd like to hear about which ones havecworked for you.

Great shooter!! no need for co2

It would be nice if it was in 22 cal

Well built p-17 for the money!!

Relatively new to air gunning but have built a collection of pistols and long guns. The P17 immediately became my favorite. it is accurate and flexible. I mounted a laser site and will change it out with a scope. Again, the P17 is my favorite air gun.

Loading pellets is a little cumbersome but not bad.

Best value in my experience.

The quality of the pistol seems to be high. It's accurate, has a trigger which is surprisingly good, and while I don't have a chronograph, I do believe the 400 + fps advertised is realized. I doubly like the 10% cock which allows safe and quiet practice shooting inside or out.

You need to be careful cocking at full strength to avoid pinching your hand in between the slide and the receiver. The kit received here did not come with the advertised targets which I found irksome. I dislike the lack of safety choice. Any cocking of the pistol sets the safety on. IMO, this should either not ever happen or happen only by user choice.

I'm thrilled that I got such a quality air gun at this price point.

Not much

Easy any to load pellets

For anyone with a normal size hand almost imposable to load pellets

Good value, good fit, great accuracy

nothing

put a scope on it and it's a dimer at 20 yards

Gun has a lot of punch for being a pump gun. I thought I was buying a CO2 gun and was disappointed when I found it was not until I opened it and shot it. Totally changed my mind. I enjoy target shooting with it.

Nothing

Nice package deal. Handy little pistol and surprisingly accurate. Shot about a 1.5" group at 10 meters right out of the box after just a bit of windage adjustment.

Feels good in the hand

Loading pellets could be easier

as advertised

I like the bundle for one, the weight and grip and that the safety engages when you open it to load it.

I would have a little more fine tuned adjustment on the sight and make it a little easier to load bb's/pelets,

This is a great little plinker , what I liked most was the trigger it surprised me the first time I fired it . It is as nice as some found on much more expensive guns . This gun is quiet and accurate and at a price point that anyone could afford . The grips are ambidextrous so you lefties can shoot it as well . What else can I say but if your looking for a great little plinker that is accurate and quiet you need to check this one out you will not be disappointed ...

It's a little tough to load , if you have big fingers they could have given you a bit more room . But with a little practice it gets easier .

Buy this one you won't want to put it down , so quiet you can shoot it indoors
