Kel-Tec P17 Kel P17Btanoptic 22Lr W/Optic/Hlstr Tan
The Kel-Tec P17 .22 LR pistol is a lightweight, affordable semi-auto built for shooters who want reliable performance without the recoil or cost of centerfire rounds. At just 14 ounces, it's nimble enough for casual range sessions, training drills, or introducing new shooters to handguns—and this bundle comes ready to go with a Viridian RFX-11 green dot optic mounted and a holster included. The compact 3.8-inch barrel and 16+1 capacity make it practical for plinking, small-game hunting, or low-pressure recreational shooting where .22 LR shines.
The P17 pairs a tan polymer frame with a tan Cerakote steel slide, creating a cohesive, low-profile look. A Picatinny rail built into the frame gives you the foundation for the included optic or future customization. The gun ships with a fiber optic front sight, so even without the red dot, you've got a usable sight picture. The 3-pound trigger breaks cleanly, and ambidextrous safety levers let both left- and right-handed shooters operate the gun intuitively. The steel barrel is threaded 1/2x28, so if you ever want to add a suppressor, you're set up for it.
The Viridian RFX-11 green dot mounted on top makes target acquisition faster and easier than iron sights alone, especially handy if your eyesight isn't what it used to be or you're working at speed. The optic pairing transforms this little .22 into a genuinely quick-handling trainer or plinker. Low recoil, soft report, and minimal muzzle rise mean you can run strings of fire and stay on target with minimal fatigue—perfect for high-round-count practice sessions without breaking the bank on ammo.
This is a no-frills, proven design: simple blowback operation, easy takedown, and minimal parts to fuss with. Kel-Tec has earned a solid following with the P17 for good reason. If you're building a training rotation, setting up a truck gun, or just want an accurate, low-cost .22 pistol that actually comes with glass and a holster, the P17 optics bundle delivers real utility.
