This review of the Stechkin APS, presented by Larry Vickers, details its historical context, design features, and operational capabilities. Vickers, a former Delta Force operator, highlights its rarity in the US and demonstrates its select-fire function, including semi-automatic and full-automatic modes, emphasizing the utility of its detachable buttstock/holster. The pistol's original concept as a PDW for non-combat roles and its 20-round magazine are also discussed.
The PPS-43C is a semi-automatic pistol variant of the WWII Soviet PPS-43 submachine gun, manufactured by Pioneer Arms in Poland. It fires the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge and features a closed-bolt operation for civilian legality. While inspired by a cost-effective Soviet design, the civilian version offers a unique historical firearm experience for collectors and enthusiasts.
