New project: Ruger PPSh-41
I just picked up a Midwest industries free float handguard for my Ruger PC9, 9mm. I noticed a passing resemblance to the Soviet PPSh-41. I wanted to pick up a 9mm Glock drum to complete the look.

Can anyone recommend a nice Glock drum magazine?

I have yet to hear about any that are 100% reliable. But some might be good enough for a range toy.

But because of the way the Glock drums have the elonged neck to fit inside a full-size Glock grip, a drum mag hangs pretty far down below the PC9.





Therefore, it doesn't really look much like a PPSh 41:



If anything, it's somewhat closer to the PPD 34/38 look:



Only with a drum magazine more like a MP18:

The ruger pistol mags are steel right? You could cut one down, grind the feed lips off a suomi drum, and weld them together.

I think it looks a lot better than the original.

Well, if you squint and hold your head just right it isn't terrible. The important thing is that I am happy with it. I'm going to pop some rounds after I knock off work.

I like it!
I also like the idea of mod-ing a PPSh-41 drum with a Ruger mag ... It looks a bit odd with the long neck.

In the end, your money, your gun; your satisfaction is all that matters!


If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

All I had for sites were a cheap Chinese knock off. I am waiting for a nicer set to arrive. Because I don't know WHERE it is shitting now. No where close to pint of aim, I'll tell you that. I need to get it to the range and put it on a BIG piece of paper.

I've also ordered a sight rail to go where the rear site was mounted.

Roger is offering a new model with a similar PPSH look to it.

Got out for a walk today and shot 4 ground squirrels with the Ruger "Burp" gun.



This thing will do for our future stock killing. Very handy tool. Cheap ammo. More decisive than a .22.

Back in the 1880-1941 era there existed a class of firearm of which this thing is certainly representative. Lots of .32 Rimfire and centerfire rifles were used for hog, lamb and steer killing and general all-round utility use on the farm. Here on my ranch once we get away from the house we need something that reaches out a bit farther, but right up close to the front door and in the kill corral, this thing will get the nod every time.

Looks like Rolan wasn't the only one who wanted a Ruger PPSh-41...
