The PP-19 gun is a blow-back operated weapon. The trigger mechanism enables employment of the weapon in both singleshot and burst modes. An open-type sighting system consists of an adjustable foresight and a backsight. Optical and electro-optical sights are optional. Rounds are fed from a 64-round helical magazine. The PP-19 sub-machine gun can also be fitted with a noise suppressor.
