Come on, you can't be serious ?? Pick one up, compare the fit and finish of the two....
They may resemble each other, but that is where it ends. The Finns turned out a very good quality SMG....
The Soviet PPSH-41 and later variant, were expedient, easily made in "cottage industry" set ups, etc, etc.... But they can be pretty rough, even the mags do not interchange between guns in many cases....
That said the post WW-11 production made in several members of the new Soviet Union turned out some very nicely finished versions of the PPSH-41, in particular the Poles and the Hungarians....

TGC;
The Finnish guns are way above both wartime and postwar production in the former Soviet Union....
We have to appreciate that the Soviets were in serious touble in the early 1940s, they needed a lot of SMGs, and they needed them yesterday....
They were fighting several major urban conflicts (Stalingrad, Leningrad, etc.), this is the theatre in which you want a sub gun, the PPSH was the perfect tool for the time....
I'm a little old fashioned, I prefer my 1928 Thompson....
If I were you I would not hold my breath for any Canadian government to change the laws in favor of the public owning FAs ever again....
