Beeman Sweet 17 Bundle (Beeman P17 Air Pistol)

Shoots straight. Fun to use. I really like the lack of recoil. Has a nice weight to the pistol.

Sharp edges all over the top make it very uncomfortable to cock whether you push down on the rail or the sight to pop the pistol closed. I lightly sanded the corners. Thankfully it did not cause a discoloration of the pistol

Well worth the price.

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.

Photo of 1st target at link. Not bad for a 75 year old?

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.
