Yep. If you're thinking about getting one of these beware!
I had one in 7.62x25 ad found it fired while the safety is on. These 'pistols' have a pretty tough safety to engage but I assure you it was engaged fully. I sent it back to inter ordnance and they agreed it was faulty and sent me out a new one. I was able to exchange it for one in 9x19 instead of the 7.62 so they sent the 9mm one to my local dealer.
At my dealer I opened the box and explained the problem I had. I tested the safety (again, I had it FULLY engaged) and sure enough it dropped the hammer AGAIN. New out of the box.
I sent it back to I.o. and they are now telling me they have tested it and found no issues engaging the safety. I have twice told them that engaging the safety is not the issue and they insist the firearm works as it should.
I'm pretty fed up with the crap. I'm now negotiating the difference in price to get a different firearm completely as I no longer trust the pps43-c in either caliber...
Aside from the safety issue I also had a rear firing pin mushroom from normal use with less than 500 rounds through it. The rear firing pin deformed from hammer strikes so when it entered the bolt body it became stuck. I had to remove the firing pin (complete bolt disassembly) and use a dremil to ease the end of the rear firing pin.
Add in that the ejection port is small and actually causes sever misfires by failing to eject. This has caused sever instances where the casings would get stuck inside the receiver and jam the gun.
What a piece of trash. If you have one please unload it and test the safety. I'd like to know if anyone else has had the same issue!
