The PPS-43C uses a simple blowback, closed-bolt action with right-side ejection and a reciprocating charging handle. It is built on a stamped-steel receiver and frame for durability and faithful PPS-43 pattern styling.
The 9.8 in barrel is paired with an integral muzzle brake/compensator and surrounded by a perforated, ventilated barrel shroud. This setup maintains the classic profile while helping manage muzzle rise.
Sight alignment is straightforward with iron sights: a hooded fixed front post and a two-position flip rear sight calibrated for 100 and 200 meters. Controls include a paddle-style right-side magazine release and a manual safety lever located at the front of the trigger guard.
The metal stock folds over and latches on top of the receiver but is permanently fixed in the folded position and has no function. With the stock folded, overall length is approximately 24.2 in, and the pistol weighs about 6.7 lb.
