One thing's for sure: Kel-Tec Weapons never disappoints when it comes to cool, new guns, and 2020 is no exception. This year, the company rolled out its P17, which is an ultra-compact, semi-automatic .22 LR handgun complete with a 16-round magazine. All that sounds fairly pedestrian. What certainly isn't is the price.

Watch our American Rifleman First Look video above for all the details.
