“The P17 is just loaded with a lot of really interesting elements, jam-packed with features, and it’s got a really unique construction to it,” American Rifleman Executive Editor Evan Brune said. “There’s a lot of plastic on this gun. KelTec actually uses a clamshell-style construction, and that forms your frame. And what that allows KelTec to do is they’re able to mirror a lot of the elements on this gun, so you’ve got an ambidextrous, paddle-style magazine release on both sides, you’ve got an ambidextrous safety selector on both sides, the only thing it doesn’t have mirrored controls on is your slide-stop right here.”
