- Two 30-round steel PPS-43 pattern magazines
The PPS43-C uses a closed-bolt blowback action in semi-automatic operation and feeds via PPS-43 pattern magazines. Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 30+1 capacity, it ejects to the right and uses a paddle-style magazine release for quick, positive changes.
Construction is all steel where it matters, including a stamped-steel receiver and a ventilated barrel shroud. The stock is steel and remains in the folded position. Grip panels are checkered synthetic for a secure hold.
Sighting equipment includes a hooded/protected front blade and a two-position flip notch rear leaf, providing simple and rugged alignment options. The 9.8 in barrel and approximately 24.2 in overall length keep the package compact.
This example bears factory and importer markings: PIONEER ARMS CORP., RADOM, POLAND on the receiver and I.O., INC., PALM BAY, FL as the importer. The stock is welded in place, permanently fixed closed in accordance with the PPS43-C pistol configuration.
