Thats a cool pic. I bought two 9422 mags when I got back from the Marines in 1976 and still have 'em. Bought a 9422 a few years later thinking I would give one to each of my boys and keep one for myself. Never did. Now I plan to give one to each of my grandsons later on. Plenty of other rifles to share with my own boys. It was the little gallery pump (I still have one left) that first caught my attention at the shooting gallery at the State Fair of Oklahoma back in the early 60s.
