Description
Product Overview
The Pioneer Arms PPS-43C is an ATF-approved semiautomatic pistol based on the historic Polish PPS-43 design. Chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev, it fires from a closed bolt and uses a stamped-steel receiver and barrel shroud. Its permanently fixed folded stock has no operational function, preserving the pistol configuration while maintaining the distinctive compact profile. A fixed blade front sight and L-shaped flip rear sight provide simple, durable aiming references, while the front trigger-guard safety and simple muzzle brake complete the practical design.
Key Features
- Closed-bolt semiautomatic action provides consistent operation in a historic-inspired pistol configuration.
- Chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev for high-velocity pistol-cartridge performance.
- Stamped-steel receiver and barrel shroud deliver durable construction.
- Fixed blade front sight and L-shaped rear sight marked for 100 and 200 meters provide straightforward target alignment.
- Permanently fixed folded stock maintains ATF-approved pistol configuration.
- Includes two 35-round magazines for extended shooting sessions.
The Pioneer Arms PPS-43C combines historical design elements with modern closed-bolt semiautomatic operation in a distinctive 7.62x25mm Tokarev pistol.

This pistol is a very...
This pistol is a very basic, rugged, firearm that's a ton of fun to shoot although it will never win a beauty contest. I fired about 75 rounds of a mix of Wolf Gold and S&B with only a single fail to load in the first 5 rounds of Wolf. The sights are very basic and quite similar to an AK. I believe the front post could be drifted but my weapon was aligned out of the box so I didn't attempt it. The trigger is basic but functional; the safety seems secure. Field stripping is extremely easy as is reassembly. At the range, I attempted to encourage it to fire multi round bursts but I was completely unsuccessful. One online review showed that the safety could be used as a bolt hold-open though it would not work that way on mine. Overall I have no regrets but I also can't think of many uses other than for fun at the range or possibly home defense. And I really think that the 7.62 x 25 round is a sleeper that should be far more popular.

I would love to give this firearm a 5 star rating, it a very solid build, and heavier than it looks but in a good way. Its really neat to hold this firearm. However on my first trip to the range, aside from the occasional light primer strike on modern ammunition, this firearm had an issue with firing TWICE on a single trigger pull. It was pretty sketchy, I was definitely not expecting an integrated burst mode, especially when the bursts fire faster than the cyclic rate of the full-auto version. I had to put the firearm away because I was afraid it might just mag dump the entire 35 round mag at the range. I reached out to the Radom pioneer polish customer service and they responded within a day, but they could only direct my email to the U.S. branch of pioneer polish. However the U.S. branch of pioneer polish either doesn't exist, or doesn't care because I've reached out to them again after Radom transferred my email, and I havnt recieved any sort of response on the matter.
