The NHG KEL-TEC P17 (Model 18,446) is the definitive lightweight champion of the rimfire world, engineered for shooters who believe that high-capacity fun shouldn’t come with a heavy frame—or a heavy price tag. Renowned for its “size-defying” specs and impressive reliability, this .22 LR pistol manages to pack a massive 16-round payload into a footprint that weighs less than a pound. Featuring a 4-inch barrel and a 7.5-inch overall length, the P17 is the premier choice for anyone seeking a low-recoil trainer, a dependable “kit gun” for the woods, or a high-readiness plinker that’s as easy on the wallet as it is on the holster.

Built with Kel-Tec’s signature “no-frills, all-function” philosophy, the P17 features a slender, ergonomic polymer frame that makes it remarkably easy to handle for shooters of all experience levels. The 4-inch barrel offers a surprisingly generous sight radius for its class, while the fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight allow for precision target transitions. Despite its featherweight feel, the P17 is a true workhorse, designed with an ambidextrous safety and magazine release, ensuring that fast-paced range sessions are as intuitive as they are enjoyable.

A favorite among budget-conscious enthusiasts and those who value “carry-all-day” portability, the Kel-Tec P17 has earned its reputation as the ultimate “bang-for-your-buck” rimfire. Its staggering 16+1 capacity—unmatched by most pistols in this size category—paired with its threaded barrel for easy suppression and its snag-free profile, makes it a top-searched firearm for those who want a high-performance .22 LR that bridges the gap between a pocket-sized trainer and a full-sized target pistol.
