The pistol itself is molded to fit the contours of the hand with a gator grip pattern that aids control. The slide is unique. It\u2019s some type of alloy that\u2019s flat on the top, and except in the rear where the cocking serrations are, it has no sides. The frame itself comes up and makes the sides forward of the chamber area.<\/p>\n<p>The rear of the slide is covered with an injection-molded nylon cover that also houses the adjustable sight. The extractor and firing pin are housed under the slide cover. The front sight is fiber-optic and housed in plastic. There\u2019s a small two-slot Picatinny rail forward of the rather large trigger guard.<\/p>\n<p>The slide and barrel are made of hardened steel. The recoil spring and barrel are captive. The barrel is threaded. A thread protector comes installed on the barrel and a tool for removing the thread protector and installing a suppressor are included with the package.

I started with the KelTec at 10 yards. I couldn\u2019t see the holes until I brought the target in close.

The closest .22 semi-auto I have to it in size is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/firearms\/handguns\/?fq=brand%3AS&amp;W=&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=keltec-p17-22-lr-not-another-me-too-gun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S&amp;W<\/a> M&amp;P Compact, which has a similar grip and trigger. The M&amp;P is a fine pistol, but it costs twice as much, weighs almost three times as much, and has a magazine capacity of 10 rounds instead of 16 rounds. If I lay them side-by-side on the bench and can only pick one to shoot, I\u2019d choose the KelTec. But that\u2019s just me, and it\u2019s a subjective choice.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I\u2019m reminded of the S&amp;W .22 Compact, I think I\u2019ll take it shooting.
