It's not too bad to single load it even if that ejection port reminds me of a 23A or 23AA. I loaded it just to see how it was but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I've been told it's a pretty accurate gun. Gonna tell the widow who's selling it that if they can find the magazine for it then I'll give them 50 bucks just for the mag.. There is still some of her late husband's firearms stuff floating around; maybe the mag. is amongst that stuff. She's only asking 100 bucks for the gun as-is and except for the missing mag. it's in nice shape. Not 100% but nice original showing just a couple tiny rust specks on the barrel. The wood has the varnish finish in real nice shape. Overall it's pretty nice and the first Model 1922 I've ever seen. Now I have my magazine quest!
