The PPS/50 pays homage to the PPSh-41 with a full-length, perforated barrel shroud that defines its profile while enclosing the 16.1 in barrel. The action is a semi-automatic blowback system chambered in .22 LR, with a right-side ejection port for straightforward operation.
Sighting is handled by iron sights: a plain blade front and an adjustable folding V-leaf rear. A left-rear lever safety with a red index dot provides a clear on/off reference.
The beechwood stock includes practical features such as a finger-groove forend, semi-pistol grip, straight comb, and sling studs. Length of pull is 13.5 in, offering a solid fit for most shooters.
Metalwork shows a sandblasted/blued finish. Italian proof marks are present, and the AZ date code corresponds to 1990. A 50-round drum magazine is included to match the PPS/50’s design and capacity.
