A nice gun! My 1944 made PPSh 41 has a very plain wood stock while yours appears to be made of oak or something similar. I have found the PPSh 41 to be one the nicest guns to shoot. Aiming at a target at 100 yards, I fired a 5 shot burst and was still looking at the target through the sights when finished. I have never been able to do that with any other submachine gun. The disadvantage, of course, is that the light bullet loses power very quickly.

I hope you were wearing ear plugs! The ppsh is the loudest gun I've ever fired. I've had several of them and I always enjoyed going to the lake to fire off a few rounds without the usual ear protection. Just a little fun before having a drink and relaxing. The ppsh is an ear busting experience without ear plugs! Just you try it!

Oh yes, It is accurate and controllable. Fast and furious. With drum a little awkward t aim. Spent cases go striaght up in the air and could end up down the back of your collar! Then you'll dance a bit! Despite all this, the Russian model felt good in my hands. I'd have another one any day.

I had good ear muffs on but the top ejection caught me out when I fired a burst from the hip and chipped my glasses with a spent case!  |

I have one and found out that you should not shoot while under overhead cover. One of the expended cases bounced off the roof in mid burst and landed back into the muzzle brake. The bullet shot a nice hole in it and knocked it out. I was shooting at the time and did not even notice but my friends that were watching did see it. Luckily no damage to the gun.

Mine jammed one time and as I was clearing a live round from the mag area the bolt closed on it and the gun fired. I was embarrassed that I let such a mishap occur. There were people watching and atleast I had presence of mind to keep the barrel pointed down range but still, I should have locked that bolt back to clear the round. That was another day when my eardrums took a beating and not so much from the noise the gun made either!

Really nice PPSh 41. I have a 43 dated PPSh and it is my favorite sub gun.

How do you identify a war-time manufactured stick magazine.

Mine has a fairly rough finish with evidence of hand finishing on the plates at the mouth. The only marking is a 5 on the floorplate which may be a factory number. I do not know if it is WW2 manufacture or not, and I suspect it would be very difficult to determine. The body of the mag has longitudinal ribs. The gun is dated 1944.
