This is my earlier post about easier loading modification.
I found this mod I performed makes loading easy beans with the Air Venturi pellet pen. Makes it a straight into the end of the barrel loading procedure. Make approximately a 1/2" diameter hole right at the bottom of the rear sight. ( picture #1 & 2) You will also have to relieve the shelf just behind the rear sight screw nut, (picture #3) this can be all be accomplished with a Dremel or a rat tail file.Will only take a few minutes because you are only removing plastic material. (Picture #4) shows straight in with pellet pen ------SURE MAKES LOADING A LOT EASIER

I might do that too
I put a Hawke Red dot on the P-3 just to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. It actually helps with the closing 
Im assuming it might have to do with the weight of the Red Dot I put three fingers on the very edge near the rear sight and with a steady firm push (pistol on my thigh) it closes nice and smoothly.

My P17 has been tuned by the previous owner. It has a 9.25" barrel that looks like it came from a Crosman or similar. He did some trigger work, and it is very nice. There is also a short aluminum air stripper on the end that acts as a moderator with the side holes taped over. It shoots at about 400fps with regular H&N match pellets. It's a fun shooter!

I worked the trigger on one and it is extremely good.
I would rather shoot a Gamo Compact all day. V10. Trigger is good enough after tune. Better grip and much easier cocking same power. I wouldn’t pay $250 for one though. Last one I bought was $125 lnib.

Only handling difference between my p17 and both my p3 is the p3”s slightly harder to cock. All amazing triggers. You have to adjust them right.
