The P17 uses a fixed-barrel, straight blowback system paired with a single-action, hammer-fired trigger. The 3.8 inch barrel is factory-threaded for an adapter, and the included adapter provides 1/2x28, ready to accept standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices. Its compact size and 16+1 capacity make it a feature-rich .22 LR in a streamlined package.
Controls are fully ambidextrous, including the paddle-style magazine release and manual thumb safety. The slide has rear serrations for a positive grasp. Up front is a green fiber-optic sight, matched to an adjustable rear notch, providing a clear, bright sight picture.
The tan polymer frame wears Kel-Tec’s signature gator grip texture for secure handling, and an integral Picatinny accessory rail offers mounting space for a light or similar accessory. The tan polymer slide with black steel top plate and black/tan finish provide a clean, modern contrast.
Markings include KEL-TEC CNC INC., Cocoa FL, Made in USA on the frame and a patent marking of US 10,184,738 B1. The pistol’s compact dimensions are paired with an approximate weight of 10.9 oz, an overall length of 6.7 in, a height of 5.3 in, and a width of 1.2 in. Two factory 16-round magazines are included.
