Polish Radom made PPS 43
Managed to get a look at this elusive beast yesterday. Workmanship good, I like the way they did the work on the semi auto conversion. Chrome bore, good considering the ammo and the US made ones are not. If they can be had, Id buy one, especially at some of the prices Ive seen. Havent shot one yet, may be able to do that next weekend or sooner. Ill post the results.

Jeepranch - I have had an intrest in this pistol for several months - a local gun shop sells them for $450 apiece, and one can order them direct from I.O. thru anFFL., for a good price. The gun shop that I visited in Lakeland FL had ordered eight of them. I looked at one right after they got their first shipment of four. I thought it was well made and robust. Seems to me it would make a good short range pistol, and the 35 round magazines are a strong selling point. There were people purchaseing these guns and that particular shop is probably sold out of their eight ordered guns already. In about 6 to 9 months if still available then I may purchase one, but I am also interested in a High Pointe Carbine and/or the new EMF JR carbine. The PPS 43 would however be a good buy and a firearm with a definate purpose inso far as having firepower and portability in a carbine like pistol.

Managed to shoot one. I was impressed. I gobbled up surplus polish and yugo ammo without a miss. Trigger not too bad, not too good either. Accurate at 50 feet anyway. With the cheap ammo, attractive truck gun or other? Now to find a small bolt action in 7.62x25

Can you undue the spot welds on the stock to make it a SBR? It's useless to me without a stock. They should have imported a PPSH41 instead.

best route would be to get one of the parts kits from royal tiger for 69 bucks if you sbr it, they welded too much to use unless you are quite the grinding artist
