Beeman P17 Bee 2004 .177 Deluxe Pneumatic Air Pistol - Black

The Beeman P17 Bee 2004 is a .177 deluxe pneumatic air pistol built for plinking, target practice, and small-game hunting where air gun regulations apply. This break-barrel springer pairs a polymer frame with a finger-grooved rubber grip designed to keep your shooting hand stable and comfortable through extended sessions. At 4.50 inches, it strikes a practical balance between portability and sight radius—compact enough for backyard use or a range bag, but long enough to group shots consistently at typical air gun distances.

Beeman has long been the go-to name for air gun shooters who want real performance without the cost of firearms, and the P17 series represents that reliability. The deluxe designation here reflects a focus on handling and ergonomics; the textured grips give you actual control in your hand rather than the slick feel of cheaper pistols. Pneumatic action means you're compressing air with each trigger pull—there's no CO₂ cartridge to swap out mid-session, making this a low-maintenance choice for casual or serious plinking.

Whether you're zeroing in on tin cans, teaching a beginner the fundamentals of sight picture and trigger control, or just enjoying a quiet afternoon of target shooting, the P17 Bee 2004 delivers the accuracy and consistency you expect from a name-brand air pistol. The black polymer frame is durable and low-maintenance, standing up to regular use without fussing.
