where is the serial number located

Jimmy, the serial numbers in a weird spot. It's at the top, back of the grip right where it curves before going into the slide. So if you grip the pistol it's where the top arch of your hand goes. Hope this helps.

Hi Jimmy, The grip assembly, magazine, and slide cover are made of an impact-resistant glass-reinforced Nylon. The rear portion of the grip contains a steel frame which houses the firing mechanism, guides the slide, supports the magazine and ties the grip halves together. The pistol’s serial number is engraved near this area, just above where the thumb would wrap around the rear of the grip. For image, see pg 6 of owners manual here >>> https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/5159794/Firearm_Manuals/P17_MANUAL.pdf Stay safe & have a great day!

Is this pistol legal in Massachusetts

Gerald, as others have stated this is unfortunately not legal in Massachusetts due to the magazine capacity and not being on Massachusetts approved list. Sorry but hope this helps.

Gerald, unfortunately this gun is not on the MA handgun roster. MA Roster here >>> https://www.mass.gov/doc/approved-firearms-roster-july-2023/download Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Gerald, no Sir due to the 16rd Magazines and not on the MA Handgun Roster. https://www.mass.gov/doc/approved-firearms-roster-july-2023/download - Cheers and stay safe.

Can this be shipped to Colorado?

Christopher, yes but without the 16 round magazine. Colorado has a 15 round magazine capacity restriction, so anything over 15 rounds is prohibited. During checkout buds will have an option to remove the magazine but they won't replace it. So you would have to purchase a state compliant magazine separately. Without the 16 round magazine this is perfectly legal in Colorado. Hope this helps.

Christopher, yes Sir. Buds will ship without the restricted 16rd magazines. A local FFL should be able to acquire some magazines to pin to the 15rd max capacity of CO. That (1) round is ridiculous on CO's part. Cheers and stay safe!

Paul pretty much said it all. If you really want this gun, your best bet would be to find a seller who would ship with the magazines, then your FFL can pin them to 10 rounds for you. Have a great day!

Couple of in stock options here https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/handguns/caliber/10000844-22+long+rifle/firearm_capacity/13380/other/in_stock

Josh is correct, they can ship this if they remove the magazines, but Kel-Tec does not make compliant magazines for this pistol. And buds won't ship the magazines to be pinned to 15rds. You'd need to find magazines that are pinned already to be able to use this gun, and that's going to be a tough thing to track down.

Bill, The pistol features direct-blowback operation of its stamped-steel slide, which includes a pinned breech block, and fires via a single-action trigger and traditional hammer-on-pin system. --- 22LR ammunition here (I use Ammo Seek to search real-time online inventories) : https://ammoseek.com/ammo/22lr

The Kel-Tec P17 is simple, affordable and reliable. If you’re in the market for a 17-round, compact .22LR pistol with more bells & whistles than a Christmas Day parade, then the P17 is definitely for you!

Don’t let the small size fool you. This little pistol is a tack driver. The excellent trigger, fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight help you extend the P17’s range. It’s a handy little .22LR that builds confidence and burns bull’s eyes. At less than 14-ounces fully loaded, and barely longer than a dollar bill, the P17 is concealable for pretty much anyone. Just don’t forget it’s there when you need it! The threaded barrel, Picatinny-style accessory rail, ambidextrous safety, ambidextrous magazine release and three (3) 16rd magazines come standard. That’s a ton of value added in such a small package.

Every tool has a purpose and having the right tool for the job sets you up for success. Its size, weight, and caliber are the perfect combination for training that new shooter in your life. For more experienced shooters looking to hone their skills, the P17 is also a great training tool for when you’re on a budget.
