A highly successful design this SMG (Sub-Machine Gun) was manufactured with nearly 2 million PPS43 weapons built between 1943 and 1946.

The PPS43 is sometimes referred to as the best SMG of World War II. After WWII, it was widely exported to pro-Soviet regimes around the world and widely copied.

Today Pioneer Arms has redesigned this historical firearm to shoot from a closed bolt position. The safety is located at the front of the trigger guard. The rear sight is an L-shaped flip type and is marked for 100 and 200 meters distance. The front sight is a fixed blade. The barrel is equipped with a simple muzzle brake.



The stock has no function and is permanently fixed in its folded closed position. As such this firearm is an ATF approved "pistol".
