That will be my next challenge to do the 10m shoot with this thing. Same thing, circle a dime and put it on the bench. I might have to raise the sight up a bit, but we will see. I just wish that I had some better pellets. I can't make up my mind which ones to buy.

It's an old pic, but this is some 10m groups I shot with various pellets when I first bought the P17. Targets are the same as yours - traced a dime:

That is some darn good shooting.  On the bench rest or free hand? Great shooting! 8)
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

Thanks, Mike! :) ...Not too bad I guess for a $40 gun and a mediocre shooter pulling the trigger!

Thanks, WyoMan! I really like the H&N FTT both in .177 (4.52) and .22 (5.53), they seem to shoot really well in most of my guns. In fact they are easily the pellet of choice in my Benji Trail NP (Hardwoods edition), my 1750 PCP (ragged one-hole all day long @10m) as well as my MK I HPA Field Target pistol (out to 25 yards)... :-*

I should point out that if you are going to try them get the Field Target Trophy, NOT the regular Field Target variety (although you can if you want to...) I have had pretty dismal success with the  regular FT... :(

Maybe it's just me, but every pistol should have a  nice grip like these. It hugs the hand.

My used P17 arrived today.


Couldn't resist, the wife went out to collect no3 daughter from work so I ran to my office to have a quick test fire.

Slight clunk/twang noise a bit like a spring when top strap is first lifted (from within grip?).

Just a little suck of air noise as it fully opens, quite hard to close (as I was sitting on floor I sort of closed with legs as much as hands).

First shot I thought I'd missed as couldn't see it. Turned out to be slap bang in the black pen dot I had put on the paper  :-*

I then took a total of  6 shots at the dot....single hole no bigger than 1/2"

Ok it was only 5 meters and I rested on my knees but I was impressed.  Didn't even have to touch the sights it was bang on.

It wasn't loud at all, just a gentle crack so I'm going to try in the garden next week next time the cats away...  :-\
