We discuss the history, design, usage during the Siege of Leningrad, it's predecessor the PPSh41 and today's PPS-43 being manufactured by Pioneer Arms Corp in Radom Poland at the old Circle 11 Factory and available for sale here in the United States. Plus we announce the next winner of a Pioneer Arms Corp USA firearms: a one-of-a-kind 556 AKM rifle.
