Manufactured by Pioneer Arms in Radom, Poland and imported by I.O. Inc., this PPS43-C is a faithful semi-automatic interpretation of the wartime PPS-43. It uses a simple blowback system with closed-bolt operation and a right-side ejection port. The stamped-steel construction and perforated tubular barrel shroud preserve the original look while supporting reliable function.
The barrel measures approximately 9.8 inches, and the overall length is about 24.2 inches with the stock folded. Sling loops are placed under the barrel shroud and at the rear of the stock assembly, and the pistol wears black checkered synthetic grip panels for a secure hold.
Sighting is straightforward with a hooded front blade and a two-position flip rear sight set for 100 and 200 meters. Controls include a manual safety lever positioned at the front of the trigger guard. The top-mounted recoil spring guide is visible through the bolt cut, consistent with PPS-43 pattern construction.
Feeding is via detachable PPS-43 pattern curved steel box magazines. Capacity is 30+1 in 7.62x25 Tokarev. Receiver markings include Pioneer Arms Corp. Radom, Poland PPS43-C 7.62 x 25, with importer I.O. Inc., Monroe, NC.
