Very nice gun, has a nice weight to it and very comfortable to hold. I shot a couple of pellets off as soon as I unwrapped it and astonishly it's very accurate. Love it
Things I would have changed:So far I wouldn't change anything, it's great.
What others should know:I'll let you guys know as soon as I stumble on something if any lol.

Build quality, Accuracy, price, feel, looks.
Things I would have changed:Nothing here...A slightly enlarged .22 version would be cool.
What others should know:At 5 feet it shoots 7.4g Crosman Destroyers at a high of 421 and a low of 395... 406fps average. My backstop for the velocity test was a big board about 30 yards away. My aim point on the board had all ten test shots within a 3" circle...offhand. I'm getting another one of these guns just because it's SO good and so much fun.

Size, weight,balance,sight radius and sight picture, accuracy, and ease of operation. This is virtually a match grade trigger. All that for 30 bux!
Things I would have changed:OMG the valve stem seal has blown in less than 400 cycles. Not the piston seal the valve stem seal! what a friggin hassle to replace.
What others should know:if you like working on your gun ........ get this P17!

This gun is a treasure for $30. It comes with a decent trigger that can easily be improved. The sights, while plastic, function quite well. The mechanism is simple and quite reliable, and the gun feels well in my hand. It has proven very reliable and I have put a ton of pellets through mine. For $30, you can not afford to not have a P-17.
Things I would have changed:I have recently inspected and tuned six P-17s and all have had light rust in the bores. Ballistol takes care of it quickly and easily. The crowns at both muzzle and breech require lapping/polishing to remove rough edges. Again easily accomplished at home, and an improvement to accuracy. Check Youtube for improvements.
What others should know:Mine prefers 10-11 gr domed pellets........ remove the rough edges on the 11mm rail and on the grips and you will have a simple, user friendly pistol that you will love for a long time.

Things I would have changed:Not a thing.

I was amazed at the quality and power of the Beeman P17 for the $29 that I paid for it!
Things I would have changed:grips are slippery, this is minor though. and make available in .22 cal
What others should know:Cocking effort is high, the price to pay for higher power

This has to be one of the all-time best-bang-for-the-buck airguns available. It is very accurate and has a wonderful trigger. With a little work, the trigger can be made even better, not that it really needs much.
Things I would have changed:I wish it had basic target sights rather than the darn fiber optic sights that seem to be finding their way onto everything these days. And maybe some kind of smooth spot and/or something to protect the rear sight from your cocking hand? These are just minor niggles.
What others should know:I just purchased a second P17 so I can have one with a scope or red dot sight mounted and one with open sights. I don't think you can find a more fun airgun for thirty bucks.

Comfortable fit to the hand, good balance and substantial sturdy feel, not flimsy or toy-like in any way. Sights are probably set at the factory for accuracy at 10 meters, but should they need adjustment of windage or elevation the job is easy and straightforward. I like the automatic safety. My Chronograph teells me that the muzzle velocity is very consistant from shot to shot although the average has rising steadily over the first 50+ shots. This must be due to some "break-in effect" and I expect it will level out at some point. Last 10 shot flight averaged 429fps with a spread of 5 and a STDEV of only 1.6. I am the original Cheapskate Airgunner and the Beeman P17 aka Model 2004 is the least expensive but probably best quality gun in my collection.
Things I would have changed:Redesign the exterior shell to remove any non-functional contours from the design, such as the false slide release just above the actual safety slider. The Beeman P17 looks like a generic pistol because it is a pistol. Form follows function. There is no need to pretend that it is a semi-auto pistol. The fiber optic front sight is a bit too large for a target pistol and completely obscures the center of a typical pistol target at 10 meteres or greater. This is the only reason I knocked a point off for accuracy. Set your aim so that the proposed point of impact sits right on top of the fiber optic "dot" and it willl be easier to shoot a tight group.
What others should know:Learning to load the pellets correctly requires a little bit of practice. Just remember that the pellet wants to drop, heavy end first into the breech. Just lay the pellet with its "waist" straddling the lip of the breech and a gentle nudge with the finger will let the pellet drop right tinto place.
Closing the action requires 28lbs of force according to the manual. I believe it. The last inch or so requires some steady strength. I wear a glove on my left hand so the the anti-glare groves on the top don't grind into my palm, and shift my right hand so that the butt of the grip is in my palm. This makes it easier to apply pressure from both arms to the task. Unless you are already muscled up this will give you a bit of exercise.
I am shooting the cheapest pellets I can find, Crosman Competition Wadcutters in the 1250 count "milk carton", with perfectly satisfactory results.

I like the handle, the feel, the sights, the weight... everything about this little beast is amazing. This is by far the best gun for its price. It handles cheap pellets well (I've shot away 3 500ct boxes of cheap Daisy Flathead pellets and the accuracy is phenomenal), and is durable enough to be given to a kid to learn to shoot.
Things I would have changed:I would change nothing... you cannot beat this deal for the money
What others should know:This gun is OK for a plinker, but not recommended for hunting. I have used it to drop rabbit, but it took a very, very carefully aimed shot.

This item has no right to be as light and accurate as it is for the price! GREAT trigger! Good sights!
Things I would have changed:Sure it's a little tough to load due to the breach location but unless you have hands of stone or Parkinson's its no biggy

After a Thorough cleaning of the barrel, this pistol proved to be very accurate right out of the package. I also like the feel of the pistol in hand and should prove its worth for low cost training exercises.
Things I would have changed:I definitely would insist that the manufacturer ship their product with a clean barrel not one loaded with dirt and debris. I dont think this is the responsibility of pyramid air .
What others should know:I found out the hard way that you must make sure when opening the action, that you must open it all the way with some force before inserting a pellet, or else there will be no compression of air inside the cylinder when closing the action.
I also found the JSB Exact RS Diablo , 7.33 grain pellets provided the best accuracy at 10 yards.

This is the BEST buy in the whole Pyramid Air site! After shooting with Fiber-optic sights, I've determined these are the neatest things since sliced bread. The adjustable rear sight has the same click directions and dimensions as a popular Micro adjustable sight used on my National Match Target .22's and .45 1911's. Grips are VERY comfortable. The trigger is better than some "Target triggers" I've used in the past. The fit and finish on my P17 is NICE! China might have Monday mornings and Friday afternoons, too ... Mine is a mid-week product, no doubt.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. ..a wood grip option available, maybe... It would be 3 or 4 times the price of the gun, lol.
What others should know:My P17 likes JSB Match DIABOLO EXACT 8.44 gr. It does NOT like any Crosman pellets I tried. My lighting was going away during my last group with the JSB's; I think I can get it, reliably, to around 1/2 inch group at 24 feet with more barrel 'break-in' time. It has a beautiful rifled barrel! 5 stars isn't enough.

GREAT PISTOL! Very accurate out of the box! I am 77 ,eyes not the best but still able to keep 2" groups at 25 -30 feet. I put a Simmons 2X pistol scope on it, but due to cold weather, I have not shot it from a good rest There is a little learning curve on loading and closing the action, but that is improving with use.
Things I would have changed:Maybe if possible a loading "guide" but not a big deal.
What others should know:It really catches shits and fingers if you aren't careful

Great Pistol! It looks and feels like an authentic .45 and the sights are great. I highly recommend it and the price is great.
Things I would have changed:If you have big fingers it can be slightly challenging to load and for my wife it is tough to pump,
