The right-side reciprocating charging handle and right-side ejection reflect the original layout, while the front-right lever magazine release works with PPS-pattern curved steel box magazines. Capacity is 35+1 with the included 35-round magazines.
Sighting is straightforward and durable, with a hooded front post and a two-position flip rear notch. The pistol includes a front sling loop and a rear sling slot, and is fitted with black checkered polymer grip panels for a secure hold.
This example is Polish-manufactured in Radom and carries the I.O. Inc., Monroe, NC import mark. Its 10-inch barrel and matte black finish complete a configuration that stays true to the PPS-43 lineage while delivering a semi-automatic format.
