Bought my wife one after shooting a friend’s P17. We have only shot about 50 rounds so far but it seems to be very good. It is really easy to rack the slide and that’s good for her. It came in a nice...

I have one also with a red dot and a front hand grip. So much fun to shoot. Pretty accurate for a plinker even at 50 yards for me. Eats almost any ammo also. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone also.
