I just picked up my New PPS-43 pistol last week and went to try it out for the first time. First shot worked good. Loaded up 4 and had trouble chambering the round, it was binding, so i switched and tried another mag. Chambered fine but it then doubled :what:and failed to cock the hammer. Loaded 5 and had two doubles in a row. By that time Figured something was wrong and quit.

Later opened the auction and pulled the trigger, I reset the hammer and it caught what i believe is called the secondary sear and when I released the trigger the hammer missed the other sear and went forward to fire. Tried it a few more time with the gun closed and working the bolt and it would fire again after releasing the trigger.

Needless to say the gun is FUBAR and will be going back tomorrow.

Has anyone else had the same problems? Was unable to find any info on the net.
