NEW Pietta PPS50 SBR 12" Barrel 22LR NON-Restricted

[johnny the boy]

Had one a few years ago. Did not cycle well with drum mag. Ok with stick mags tho.Wood version and it was around $450.00.

The guy I bought mine from years ago sold it at a great price because it didn’t work properly. I have been using the thunderbolt with it and it’s running fine after a few hundred rounds so far with drum mags

I picked one up (wood stock 12" with 50 round drum & stick mags), and I'll be testing it out on Friday.

So I'll post here with how it went.

Do you recall if the drum was a metal one? Hopefully this new batch has better QC?

This current one is plastic, and is made by Black Dog Machine LLC. I haven't used the drum yet, but I did load it up fully last night. You can tell the feeding isn't smooth. Will it cause problems? We will see tomorrow.

I had one and it was a jammamatic, sold it the first chance I had.

Both of the ones I own are plastic

What is the trigger pull weight like on these, my gimpy digits need to know.

Mine was at least 8lb..

I would have bought one years ago as I've always thought the PPS was one of the cooler looking submachine guns from the WWII era... but the longer barrel didn't look right. These knew versions take care of that!

It's not surprising that some guns might have issues given that they are semi auto .22lr and running drums and longer sticks brings even more possible function issues. The fact the gun has been around for decades and many people have not had issues suggests that most issues can probably be sorted by anyone that is handy and comfortable troubleshooting and tinkering.

I look forward to hearing the reports on the current batch!

These PPS-50 run great with CCI ammo. These SBR rifles are Gen 2, just like the last batch of full size rifles
The drum mags are plastic but they are more reliable than the old metal drums, have a look:

The ejection pattern reminds me of a rotary sprinkler...... I guess one stove pipe is better then 2, but ideally all 50 ejecting within a 15 degree cone would be better.
