The Kel-Tec P17 .22 LR with a Viridian RFX11 optic (brand part no. P17BBLKOPTIC) is a compact, lightweight rimfire pistol ready to shoot with a red dot already fitted. Kel-Tec builds it on a polymer frame with an integrated Picatinny rail and a serrated steel slide in a blued finish. The 3.8-inch barrel is threaded for muzzle devices, and the controls, including the safety, are ambidextrous. A fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight back up the optic. At less than 14 ounces loaded, it is an easy gun to carry afield and a good trainer.
